NBA Power Rankings: Is it time to start talking about San Antonio Spurs?

23-5. . San Antonio Spurs. 2. team. 29. The San Antonio Spurs are good and I am currently still wiping away the tears from my eyes following Tim Duncan’s jersey retirement ceremony. Because I’m a sentimental sap, here are some of my favorite quotes from what many believed to be the most boring franchise in the NBA. Parker: “He’s the only teammate that never asked me or talked to me to get the ball. He just looked at me. And when you’re 19 years old coming from France, that’s very scary when he looks at you. He doesn’t have to talk to you. Most of the guys [are like], ‘Hey, Tony, I’m open.’ But Timmy just looked at me. I’d be like, ‘Hey, Pop, Timmy looked at me. We should run a play.’ Pop would be like, ‘He really looked at you?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, so we should run a play. If you want me to be the point guard tomorrow, [let’s] pass him the ball right now.'” Popovich: “This is the most important comment that I can make about Tim Duncan: I can honestly say to Mr. and Mrs. Duncan, who have passed, that that man right there is exactly the same person now as he was when he walked in the door.” Duncan: “I’m going to tell you this: I won a lot of bets tonight, I didn’t wear jeans. I wore a sport coat, and I spoke for more than 30 seconds. Thank you, San Antonio. Thank you.”
