Tim Duncan having an awful internet connection is the most Tim Duncan shit ever.
this is so true it made me die 😂
Facts 😂😂😂😂
He actually has that 1000 Mbps fiber connection but threw on the old man filter to fox with us.
He’s living that good slow life in St. Croix. 80 degree weather and eating off the land while we have to worry about wether we’ll have a dictatorship or a democracy in a few days. USVI 😂🤣😂
kinda like Ingram having a bad one
Timmy Duncan is so humble, he went to the closest McDonald’s to use the wifi.
😂😂
Lol
Jesus saves 🙂
Com'on the wifi at Maccas isn't that bad...
Does it get any better after 3min, I don't know if I can do this xD
You can tell that TD is old school when he's rocking that 240p webcam.
That St. Croix life
Lmao
he's prob had that laptop since 2007
3fps
He still using 3g
This comment may sound "controversial" but I just needed to share this.
Tim Duncan was and still is my all time favorite player. As great as Allen Iverson was and iconic, Tim was the first player in my generation that I truly identified with as a "black lame" in a good way. As a black male from Oakland growing up in the late 90's, I didn't have any "street cred". I was seen by my black peers as a "square" or "lame" because I didn't conform to what most of black America saw as cool. Tim Duncan gave me, just like AI did to others, the confidence to just be myself.
His authenticity is lost in translation. He’s part of our people’s diaspora, there are many African people in the world that aren’t “street”
@@tonydemasso3691 that's true. But keep it real, most people only recognize the media and society's version of what being black is. Especially a black male.
@@oaklandsoldier8520 of course ! Why do you think he’s called “boring” he’s a black man the system can’t identify
@@tonydemasso3691 exactly.
That’s real, Timmy was a lot more Influential then people say, that’s dope how he effected you.
I, for one, welcome our new 2G dredded Overlord.
I fully LOLd at this. Well done.
Jesus saves 🙂
@@jesussaves21 go away
Zooming from a flip phone, classic Timmy!
This is the most I have heard Tim Duncan talk consecutively ever.
Tim rarely does interviews like this so when they said "really really really special guest" they ain't lying!
Thank you Tim Duncan for spoiling me all of my youth , I was born in 99 in San Antonio, so my whole life I was spoiled witnessing a legendary franchise
must of been nice
@@wilt1007 hey man, chin up. I grew up with only 1 chip. Don't worry. Our front office is steady. Our coaches are to be seen but we're fine. I hope you see one soon too!
He and Dirk might be some of the only guys literally everybody likes. Just a great dude doing his thing.
Ill never forget when they called Kevin Garnett "Evil Tim Duncan"
I never compare Garnet to Duncan. Duncan was worlds better than Garnet. The only worthy comparisons for Duncan are the other to 10 all time players.
Peter Tripp he wasn’t worlds ahead he just had way more stability with the Spurs. KG was stuck in Minnesota.
@@bigzbo1989 from what I saw, Duncan was worlds ahead. Where Garnet blocks a shot out of bounds, Duncan blocks it to a teammate to start the fast break. Where Garnet screamed at and bullied teammates, Duncan encouraged them and coached them up. Where Garnet couldn't create anything better than a midrange fade, Duncan reliably created buckets in crunch time on the biggest stages. Where Garnet lost athleticism and became irrelevant, Duncan was All NBA and All Defense late into his career (made both teams older than 35, and Duncan lead the league in defensive net rating in his final season). Where Doc Rivers had to end practice because Garnet wouldn't take a practice off, Pop credits Duncan with all his success, because Duncan let Pop coach him hard. Duncan wasn't better because his franchise had better leadership, Duncan was the leadership that made his franchise better.
@@Peter-hx3im Great post. Also, KG never could’ve done what Timmy did in ‘03. Won a championship with a roster that included a washed up David Robinson in his last year, rookie Ginobili, and inconsistent Tony Parker (he was benched for Speedy Claxton in some crucial games). The second best player might’ve been Stephen Jackson. Ended the 3 peat for LA although I still think the Mavs would have won had Dirk not got hurt.
@@Jakem723 KG the next year 04 was able to take the wolves to the western finals with 2 way over the hill players spreewell/cassell with weak role players before cassell got injured. and then was able to win a championship in his first year with boston (unlike the miami heats lebron). basically KG definitely could of pulled what TD did if the circumstances were different.
I will NEVER understand how Tim's name, looks, voice and personality PERFECTLY match.
He is the most complete Tim Duncan that ever lived.
lololol
pause
He is very Tim Duncan.
Raja is doing a killer job in the Ringer
Agreed‼️
I'm amazed at how well articulate he is
Jesus saves 🙂
bell vs kobe match ups were intense
@@MoralesCorner why wouldn’t he be?
I was jumping up and down on my bed when the Spurs drew the #1 pick, knowing we would draft Tim. My future wife and I were in the crowd of people greeting Tim at Alamo Plaza when he first arrived to San Antonio. This is the most I have ever heard him speak about himself.
Its just like Tim Duncan to be rocking some 2005 Dell desktop with dial up internet lol
Timmy probably bought that desktop after winning a ring on the same year
30:16 Raja looks like he gets emotional when Duncan tells him how Pop talks about missing on Raja. Damn, Raja would have rings if he was a Spur, he really would have fit with that team.
He's on the verge of crying and smiling at the same time.
Jesus saves 🙂
Great comment
he'd be like a bruce bowen with much considerable offense! Always liked Raja. As good as the Spurs are, we also missed on a lot. We Drafted Scola and Dragic and they never played for us.
For anyone that disliked this video, I'm sorry Timmy kicked your team's ass in the playoffs. It's ok though, he did my team like that too 😂
Spurs fan in SA here. Who's your team?
@@ebackhus I’m a clipper Fan bro DIE HARD. Check my channel out, I’d love to have more fans of different teams. I’m gonna make tons of spurs content in the future (old spurs though not these clowns lmao) 2012 y’all got us but I was at every home game of 2015, I can’t believe we beat you guys and lost to the JOKE ROCKETS. That still kills me to this day. Im surprised I’m not dead yet after last year. But if we were gonna choke like that we might as well had let y’all advance. You guys were SO MUCH BETTER THAN THEM ITS NOT FUNNY. We literally just choked game 6 there’s no other explanation. You guys were 1000% better than the rockets who turned the ball over and missed FTs like it was their job. If you guys had beaten us it would’ve been a super interesting series between golden state and you guys in the CF
U guys remember playoff duncan when he would have the baldy wit no shape up? Nobody cud fuck wit him!
@@andrepowell9060 bruh I remember after game 5 2015, Timmy like 40 going against peak Blake Griffin and DJ and we go down 3-2 I think the series is over. I’m yelling down the escalator of staples center like “when the fuck is this dude gonna retire he’s gonna play till he’s 50!”, he would score on them, strip them, lock them up down the stretch you name it. He was the greatest. I don’t miss him cause he was such a burden but I do, cause he was goated.
@@dimedropperpod ok im talkin bout early duncan nobody cud check him...in 99 he broke the knicks off proper
Shame that his dislike for media exposure got him labelled as a shy person. He's always been a chill guy. Probably a great guy to hang out with.
It is one of the ways Duncan is misunderstood. He was only quiet with the media. He was always talking to his team, coaching them and talking them up.
Probably a fun guy too
@@Peter-hx3im Same with Kawhi.
@@jtudawest lmao
@@petermadash4488 ..... tim duncan is like kawhi without an uncle dennis influencing him ..... 🙄🙄🙄🙄---😭😭😭😭😭😭
I miss Timmy, my Spurs are lacking the solid Leader he was for us. Thanks for the memories Timmy. SA is forever grateful.
🐐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I love how Raja was hiding his smile, when Timmy told the Pop story about him. He was so proud to be in the mind of the great Pop after all these years.
🤣
Really cause raja would of been the perfect spur he would of been Danny green + bowen before they came around
dude literally almost teared up LOL then I found myself getting emotional too smh just to even have Tim and Pop talk about you like that, just wow.
I have been a Spurs fan since I was a young kid and watching Timmy get drafted by the Spurs and then go on to winning rookie of the year. In May of 99 my wife just had our first son and then Timmy and the Spurs go on to win our first championship was a year that I will never forget. My sons first word after mommy and daddy was Tim Duncan and then for me to go on and have 3 more kids all in April of 03,07 and 2014 was just unreal for me to experience father hood and Spurs championships in those same years was the best years any man could ask for. Timmy you are my favorite athlete of all time for not only what you did on the court by how you handled your self off the court too. A true role model in every way possible. Thank you sir and GO SPURS GO
blessed by the basketball gods
Favorite player of all time, love when he makes a media appearance.
He's my favorite player too. I love every part of his game, and never thought that he (or the spurs) were boring. I'm not even a Spurs fan, I just fell in love with the way the spurs played (going back to 2003, when they beat the lakers, and I hate the lakers).
Tim duncan explaining to Raja why he got cut by the spurs in 00 is pure gold 🔥🔥
The Big Fundamental has dreads now, and it just makes sense
It doesn’t make sense, but it makes sense
He’s the Big Funkdamental now lol
I think if he had this back in the day, his popularity would've gone far up.
@@Cassius-it7wf too busy focusing on basketball
His rap name is Big Funkdreadmental
The class of Tim Duncan , Kobe, dirk, a.I, ray Allen etc... is what the attitude era was in WWF is what they are to the nba. So many colorful personalities and they were ultra competitors , hearing Duncan say he didn’t speak much with Kobe or dirk off the court is crazy because they were all trying to be the greatest.
It’s crazy how well spoken and charismatic Tim Duncan is yet didn’t choose to pursue a path into sportscasting and media. He’s like nah, I’m Tim Duncan.
Raja and Logan from the Ringer need to be credited for the most in-depth interview of Tim Duncan I have ever seen. They did a wonderful job of allowing Tim to be Tim while still asking insightful questions that forced Tim out of the generic answer mode. Tim Duncan is a representative of my generation and is around my age. I was a HUGE fan of his game and preferred him over Kobe because of his impact on both sides of the floor. Quite frankly, the only miss that I would have like to hear more about is how did Tim develop his bank shot game? For huge Duncan fans, one always noticed that many of Tim's outside shot game were a unusually high usage of the glass. One would have to go back to the 60's or earlier to see post players use the glass as much as Tim did during his career to make shots. Unlike most if not all post players in today's NBA, there are very few people that had Tim's mid-range game. Those that did; no one used the glass as much as Tim Duncan. That was the only miss, but the depth and breadth of the questions showed near flawless preparation. I was mortally shocked that Tim did this podcast because these type of interviews were not his bag. To be honest, as much as Tim's has been showed with accolades, he still does not get enough credit in his era. He was the best power forward in any generation and in my opinion, the most valuable player on both ends of the court(sorry Kobe and Shaq) during his era.
Classic tim duncan moment. I was delivering at a CVS in downtown San Antonio who pulls up in the parking but Tim. Its like 32° and raining and hes wear shorts and sandals like a gangsta. I would have talked to him but he was with his daughter so i left him alone.
That's classy. I'm sure he would greatly appreciate that
I love that all of people in San Antonio have a story of just seeing Tim Duncan at a normal ass place like HEB in the most casual look ever and everyone respects him enough to leave him alone. So many San Antonio people have that story... except me😩😩😩
Saw him and Steve Kerr eating breakfast shortly after a championship. Didn’t say anything to them just thought how cool it was.
Man...i hope Duncan does more podcasts. So many questions I'd like to hear him asked. But definitely this was a nice get since he rarely does this kind of stuff.
I had the pleasure to know Tim personally at Wake Forest. I first met him in his first semester on campus. I won't tell personal stories on here other than that he's a great guy and way misunderstood. Hes not shy and he's super funny with a great sense of humor. Quirky personality.
I will talk about his basketball skill when he arrived at Wake Forest. His first few games at Wake as a freshman he was horrible. But he was a natural rebounder from the beginning. He just had a nose for where the ball would be and had great hands and footwork. The other teams didn't even guard him he was so bad offensively. Tim used to catch the ball in the post back to the basket and not even try to score, often not realizing he was wide open. The crowd would yell shoot and kind of all laugh. None of us watching could have imagined the player he would become. Tim probably didn't foresee it either. By the end of his freshman year though he was a solid double double player but more of a defender than offensive threat. I can say that during Tim's time at Wake Forest, he never changed personally and I've heard from other friends still in contact with him that hes still the same guy also to this day. He deserves all the success he's achieved.
My Mom was a greeter working at the Westin Riverwalk where Coach Pop was fond of having dinner with his coaches, the opposing coaches and catching up with his friends around the league when they came to visit. It's also the spot the visiting teams stayed in. She always told me how respectful Pop and the Spurs players were each time they came in. Always personable, never acted as if they were above everyone else there (even though they were gods in the early 2000s) .
That kid TIMMY DUNCAN game was so complete on both ends of the floor dam he was good !!!! He pissed me off a lot of nights 🌙 😤 😒 😑 sending my teams home 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
20 years of watching this man win, lose, get back up and win again and again and this is the longest I heard him speak.
I wonder what he thinks about being called the greatest PF of all time
He looks like he might just not think much of it which is the most Tim Duncan thing to do
I can't believe i'll see 1 hours interview of tim duncan
Best start believing
That about 20 times longer than any interview he’s given previously 😝
Tim streaming from a 1997 windows computer!!!
Timmy!!! One of the top 8 greatest player to ever play. 2nd best player in the post jordan era. Its criminal the lack of recognition he gets as one of the greatest because people respect hero ball.
Tim Duncan doing this interview on a flip phone type camera is the most humble shit ever
Tim Duncan is amazing! Thank you Raja for getting him on!
That finals series between spurs vs the pistons man was underrated. Equally matched, both well coached and great games. Funny thing was, im not even a fan of those teams.
That series was basketball at its finest. It had everything thats great about basketball.
That series was an absolute grind fest and great defensive series. I also thought their 2003 series vs the Nets was great and underrated as well.
@@Theterminato2013 yes but the nets lack the firepower. I was rooting for them but I felt like they don't have a chance on that series
@@gr8esthandleever preach
@@tiagoriseabove Yeah true that. The fact the Nets were able to steal game 2&4 vs the Spurs proves how great Jason Kidd was because they were mediocre without him.
To bad Tim & Kobe never got to do interviews with each other and talk about the rivals
We got Kobe one last time in the Tony Parker documentary atleast to talk about it
I need to watch that tony doc. Thanks for the reminder!
2 of the best ever...kobe 4-2 in playoffs against duncan
@@ohmanyourecool1 no worries bro, you will love it very in depth and kobes cameo was amazing too, funny part was his trash talk story.
The part about Raja & Antonio Daniels buying that Lexus was funny AF lol
Tim Duncan had a 9.5 offensive rating and 10 defensive rating in his prime, that’s higher than LeBron, Magic, Bird, and Kobe. So is Tim Duncan underrated even as recognized as a 5-10 best players of all Time?
when he says that officiating underpowers bigs and overpowers guards, i totally agree. the league is basically bringing post game to extinction. except of course when all star players do it, in which case its fine
Well, it's not only the officiating, but the rules too. As long as the three-point line exists, the game will continue to favor the smaller players.
@@RicardoAGuitar Which is why the rules and officiating are overkill.
Thank you Logan and Raja! Any Tim Duncan content like this is a rare treat so thank you for giving the people what we wanted!
At 2:33 I thought Tim was just staring at Raja like he asked a dumb ass question. But then he started talking and I realized it was his wifi trippin 😂
What a treat! The great Tim Duncan, thanks so much.
For how low key of a person TD is, he's such an interesting dude. And Raja does a great job feeding him good questions and letting him talk.
I love, love, love this! Thank you The Ringer! Timmy friggin talks???? In long form? On a podcast? This is Haley's Comet ish for real for me...never thought I'd see it in my lifetime. 37 years long Spurs fan here. I couldn't click on this fast enough.
I would have paid to get this interview done.
Just a great Timmy moment, his personality on the court shines here, humble, positive.
Absolutely love him!
Yo i just subscribed cause yall the first pod cast to bring on my fav player
“When Bo Jackson died, his widow called me out of nowhere, and told me that I was Bo’s fav athlete all of his life , out of nowhere, no one has asked me, but if they did , I’d say to me, you are what I was to Bo Jackson” - Bill Russell talking to Tim Duncan
You’re thinking of Jackie Robinson
Yea Bo’s still alive and well
Wtf?
dude wtf, I had to look up if Bo Jackson died cause of this shit. I was like "wtf, have I been under a rock this whole time?"
@@dijon8330 oh yeah thanks
We all love Timmy man...he is just great :D
First time I heard Tim talk freely and comfortably was on the Road Trippin podcast. He’s like Marshawn Lynch. He’s not shy, he just doesn’t like the media.
Introvert
Need more Tim Duncan.
Tim Duncan inspire me to play the game as a team player people look at me surprised when I say he my favorite player because I’m so young but his game is simple he did what was needed and understood his role
Tim is that chill killer 🙌🏻
Dope to see TD.... lowkey always but this was great to hear him just chop it up
Anyone that can get Timmy on a podcast will go on to do great things. That’s the thing bout those 15 spurs, they let the game come to them naturally and it paid off handsomely. From “boring to beautiful”
Grew up watching the Spurs, and being from the Valley, San Antonio was closest to us, so it was all Spurs love. Man, that type of basketball isn't around anymore. Loved the Spurs run during my younger years, and always wanted to be like Manu lol. This is a great interview guys.
OH my, a all time CZcams moment! Look at Raja at 31 minuters. Tim Duncan, what a legend of a athlete, beeing a teamplayer and human being. Sharing is caring ❤️
36:47 he is talking about cured at the pearl in sa.
The Big Fundamental 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
My all time favorite player the reason I love the game TD legend can't wait to see you get inducted into the hall of fame this year
Brilliant pod
I love these stories. So good.
I feel like Tim would make a good therapist
Psychology Major.
This was so good!
Sorry Tim Duncan needs to be on All the Smoke podcast with Barnes and Jackson
Awesome! Love Tim Duncan!!!
😊 I agree
Midway during Duncan's sophomore year, Jerry West said that he'd be the #1 overall pick.
I’ve never even heard Raja Bell’s voice before lol. This was dope 💯
ALL THE NEW YOUNG SPURS SHOULD SEE THIS, WAHT AN AMAZING RIDE TIM HAD.
Love Timmy and LOVE HIS REAL ONES pick! That shows he is one of the few real ones in pro sports. Shot out Bron on that tip too! Go Spurs go!
I’m back again I love Tim Duncan ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The audio quality is a bit rough, but the quality of this channel’s questions are certainly enough to push me to subscribe. Great content guys i hope you can get it smoothed out!
Too nice Tim 😎
These are some quality questions
The moment I saw Tim Duncan yell while facing the heat the second time...actually showed emotion...I knew the heat were gonna lose
I remember Raja Bell sitting at my table when I was a waiter on the River walk, it was during the playoffs. He was dressed incognito, but I recognized him ! I didn’t snitch him out or anything, like hey Raja Bell is over and we’re playing against him tomorrow ! I gave that dude 5 Star service just like anybody else and he gave me a lousy 10% tip. I’m glad we beat there ass that year !
San Antonio legend! GOAT PF. Gave us 5 championship celebrations growing up that we’ll never forget. You have to live in SA to know how crazy it gets
Hell Yeah. The Big FUNDAMENTAL ON A PODCAST!
TIm Duncan, Real Man!
Not a single dislike for Timmy. That's awesome.
45
Timmy🤣🤣 I'm not even surprised with his low quality camera and internet.. that dude should never change..Timmy at his best
Great interview... miss seeing Timmy on the court.
Really good interview
I was born in 96 and ima diehard spurs fan. I grew up on Timmy and the big 3 and a guaranteed playoff spot every year. Thank you Timmy🙏 give him his flowers now 💐
Tim duncan my idol since child...Wooooooohhhh....5time nba champs..
Favorite player of all time 💯
Tim needs to do the Ringer Carwash. 10 Questions, Bingemode, Big Picture, Higher Learning, Rewatchables, Simmons, Russillo etc.
Yes sir”” first seen Tim on the D”” chaberth court, he was one of the best VI
This is the tim Duncan interview i always wanted!! Tim's the greatest player of alll time in my eyes. ☝️
my favorite player of all time holy shit!
He rarely does interviews. This is a good interview. He is my favorite player in the nba by far. I miss seeing him playing.
Good episode from a rare guy to interview.
this is gold
It's funny how much different TD's personality is after he retired. We saw a similar situation with Kobe when he started to open up towards the end of his playing career. Stock difference.
This ad had a pretty nice interview
Tim Duncan will always be my favorite PF of my generation. There were a lot of great NBA players I watched growing up
Greatest PF OF ALL TIME
