Here is the net worth of Tim Duncan in different currencies, including the cryptocurrency and Euro. Currency Despite the interests of the Los Angeles Lakers, Duncan was determined to continue his education until graduation. LEADERSHIP THROUGH SELFLESSNESS: In Duncan’s 19 seasons as a player and one as an assistant on the Spurs staff, Buford said nobody in the organization can remember a single instance he was late. He's just a tremendous guy, the best power forward that ever played the game. Probably, if you talk to anyone that knows him, he's probably the most low-maintenance superstar that ever played the game; just a tremendous guy, a great person. This couldn't come or happen to a better guy," said Gentry. "There was no reason to wait. It's not like they were going to decide somewhere along the line his number was going to be retired. It was going to happen. So I think it's great that they're doing it early and doing it right now before he's even a year out of the league." Pop being crazy, he thought Scot Pollard was who we should Draft,” Buford said. But once it became clear the plan was to select Duncan No. 1 overall, Popovich booked a flight to the Virgin Islands to spend time with Duncan.

Duncan also joins John Salley as just the second player in the league annals to win an NBA title in three different decades. He wanted to pursue a career in swimming. But the wish was ruined by a hurricane that destroyed his hometown’s only available Olympic-sized pool. Tim Duncan was keenly aware of how his words and actions could affect his teammates — whether they were superstars or role players. Timmy would set The Gun up for himself, and he would take it down for himself,” Buford said. “No other player ever did that. They get the manager to set it up, and they get the manager to take it down. That’s a tone that he set. It was never with his voice, but with his personality that Timmy set the tone.” First off, you can’t have that level of success without being a killer,” Blucas said. “But he didn’t pound his chest and scream in people’s faces. Different superstars have different styles of leadership. Tim’s always going to be the guy to put his arm around you first instead of getting in your face. That’s just who he is. He’s gonna come to you with love before he comes at you with challenge, aggression, competitiveness, anger and intensity.”

In his school days, Tim aimed to reach the Olympic level at swimming, just like his sister. He was brilliant in swimming and stood out in the 50, 100, and 400 meters freestyle.

NBA Legend Tim Duncan is honored at his jersey retirement ceremony on December 18, 2016 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. The five-time NBA Champion was NBA Finals MVP three times. He was the ACC Male Athlete of the Year and was honored by the House of Representatives in his college days. Duncan played one of his worst playoff games in 2008 against the New Orleans Hornets. With their captain recording only 5 points and three rebounds, the Spurs were defeated 101-82. The same season Spurs lost the NBA championship to Los Angeles Lakers. That’s just one of several displays of professionalism over the years from Duncan that set a standard for the rest of the franchise to follow. The truth is, it’s impossible to distill Duncan’s career into words or some lengthy think piece. We already know about the mind-boggling stats, the five titles, the two MVPs and 15 All-Star appearances, not to mention the fact Duncan retired in 2016 ranked second in playoff victories, first in playoff double-doubles and third in postseason rebounds.
