Tim Duncan

Timothy Theodore Duncan (born April 25, 1976 in Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands) is an NBA basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs, playing at the power forward position. He is noted for his poise, scoring and positioning ability in the offensive post, and effectiveness using some of the most basic and fundamental basketball moves. With three NBA championships and three NBA Finals MVP Awards, he could very well be the greatest basketball player of the post-Michael Jordan era.

Trivia

Before his mother succumbed to breast cancer, Tim promised her he would complete his university degree before playing basketball professionally.

He is known for a calm, cool demeanor on the court, choosing to emphatically discuss calls with the referees rather than ranting and raving. This in turn has granted him a large amount of respect from fellow players, broadcasters, and fans. On the other hand, it limits his marketability, which many analysts believe is not as great as it should be given his accomplishments.
