  • Even in his hall of fame speech he's just so humble. How can you not like this guy he was the standard of excellence for 19 years.

    People often call him quiet and unenthusiastic, but Timmy is so well spoken, and can get really emotional. Plus he has a good sense of humor. I hope he decides to go back to coaching soon, he is The Big Fundamental after all!

    Tim Duncan is the greatest PF to ever play the game of basketball. 4 year degree from Wake Forest in psychology. Extremely high basketball IQ. Never got too high. Never got too low. And it won 5 rings. A true champion. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
  • Holy...did NOT recognize him with that hair! Oh, and the fact that he spoke for more than 20 seconds. ;-)
  • @mariomanningfan
    If winning 5 championships is boring including a title clinching annihilation of James, Wade, and Bosh, I'll take boring all day long.
  • @thenbalovesdp
    Tim actually spoke for more than a minute for once!
  • @marekk2570
    Timmy is one of the most genuine and kind “stars” in the nba world. Humble and modest, hard working and dedicated. Underrated career and good speech!
  • @brianjuice
    You never hear Duncan speak too much, so I'm actually kind of shocked at how well spoken he is. This is one of the best hall of fame speeches by far.
  • @mrthundaboots
    Timmy is the definition of actions speaking louder than words...
  • @Freamon_L
    In an era of flashy superstars and selfish divas with huge egos, Tim Duncan dominated with pure class and by being humble and down to earth.Thank you for showing us one can be great without being full of himself. To me the only modern day athlete that's worth being a role model.

    Duncan said, "i lost my mom at 14 and in her place, my sisters stepped up to be my mom. My sisters, my best friends Cheryl and Tricia thank you. Thank you for all that you brought to me, for being there for me no matter it was and it just... I love you and thank you"! (Before Greg even exist in his life, the 14 yrs old boy lost his mom. In that situation, im so proud to hear his sisters stepped up & comfort him! Family 1st as always...)

    After Jordan retired. It was Kobe, Allen Iverson, Tim Duncan & KG who truly kept me invested. Congrats!
  • @dash_r_media
    Those 19 years were far, far beyond anything I could have hoped for as a Spurs fan since 1982. I'll probably reminisce about those years, especially 2014, on my deathbed. Thanks Timmy.
  • Rc Buford behind pop wiping tears shows the commitment they had for those teams
  • @bp8300
    My fav Basketball player ever. NBA players nowadays can much learn from him.
  • @Unguardable20
    Tim Duncan greatest power forward of all time. This speech is now in the discussion of probably one of the greatest of all time for the HOF. When he started talking about Popp I’m not gonna lie a few tears where shed. An fwiw I’m a die hard Lakers fan who just loves basketball.
  • @YusukeKnight
    Congrats Tim Duncan on getting in the hall of fame it was an honor to have watched your career
  • @Thewawawest
    How could you hate Tim Duncan? He is so humble. May be one of the most humble player ever. He deserves to be HOF. He was GREAT!
