5 best moments from Tim Duncan’s jersey retirement ceremony

3. Carrot Cake

Is there anything more Tim Duncan than finding out Tim Duncan was obsessed with carrot cake, the most mundane cake of all cakes?

In a jersey retirement ceremony that featured music from both Fall Out Boy and the Tron theme, Gregg Popovich’s story about bringing Duncan carrot cake whenever they were on the road was the quintessential, classic Timmy.

Pop recounted how he would come to Duncan’s room when they were on the road with his star power forward’s favorite dessert, and sometimes Timmy would be napping, so the head coach would just leave it at the door.

This wasn’t the best moment of the night involving Popovich (we’ll get there in a minute), but it was certainly one of the funniest and most fitting inside stories of the ceremony.
