Spurs Twin Towers in attendance for Wemby’s playoff debut.
I still can’t believe Tim Duncan looks like that.
He looks cool af don’t he lol
He was so boring as a player then retired and became cool af.
he was prolly wicked cool in his prime too just quiet
That KG video where he talks about Timmy’s smack talk is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard about on-court stuff.
“Almost.”
Mfer hit you with phrases
My fave was the “nice try”
“Ooh. Got ya”
KG was right I would be infuriated if someone used that trash talk on me
It’s just so passive aggressive and condescending lol. Like I’d rather someone talk shit about my momma.
it’s the way he said “Oooh Almost” that got me, like Tim Duncan was really just comforting them. “Nice try” lmao.
Tim Duncan offered legal advice to wife’s divorce lawyer. He just cares.
I heard he even congratulated the Celtics on a great game after they beat the Spurs 98-90.
“Gotchu 😏”
I’d hang myself
“Nothing personnel, kid” vibes, in the best way possible
I’ll watch it every time I see it linked. Pure comedy

why is it edited with laugh track lmao
Not a laugh track, you can see in the full video they’re recording live in front of an audience.
https://youtu.be/z2Y8eaFH8AY?si=ge8-S0wYUV7QKmf3&t=70
Not a laugh track, there was a live studio audience for that episode.
No joke, I think about that every time I play a game. Even non basketball fans I’ve told about his trash talk think it’s hilarious.
“Nice try.”
I believe whenever Andrew Luck got sacked, he’d congratulate the guy who sacked him. It would throw the person off.
the Lamarcus Aldridge one was also gold, TD outplayed him then tapped him in the butt while saying “you’re gonna be okay, it’s okay, you tried” 😭😭😭

He played Starcraft Brood War on lan during flights in between games.
Peak epitome of cool
There’s a picture of the Larry O’Brien Trophy on the floor of the plane while the ‘99 Spurs are playing Brood War.
My favorite is the screenshot of the chatlog and it just says “Admiral: y e a h b a b y”
That’s so fucking cool
In your rear with my gear!
He led StarCraft LAN parties with the team so no way he wasn’t cool
He might have been wicked cool. But he was also a dork. I remember the first championship the Spurs won with him. All his teammates were excited and celebrating. Tim Duncan had a video camera on the court and was recording everyone.
“I wanna retire like Tim Duncan.” – Giannis
Apparently, that means getting as little screentime as possible but when you do appear, it’s literally PEAK like Rayleigh watching over Monkey D. Wemby
Giannis dropping the wisdom with that one
like Rayleigh
So that’s what Tim reminded me of when I saw him so focused on the game. Reminds me of Rayleigh using haki lmao
IIRC, part of it is because of his girlfriend (now longtime partner and co-parent to one) Vanessa that made him dress up and style more.
I was in elementary/middle school during Duncan’s prime and im p sure we both had the same style back then
Tim duncan looked so cute
He was always cool af. He just locked in when he was playing, and dreads weren’t the optimal championship haircut.
Boring to anyone who wasn’t a fan. Duncan could beat anyone’s favorite player, show him his damn respect.
Your favorite players least favorite opponent.
This moment is so chill and absent of drama I wanna call it Tim Duncan
-Nick Miller
embracing his islander roots
He was full focused
I think he just despised the media circus. And rightfully so, he decided to be strictly business when it came to the game.
I think he might be the ultimate troll
He looks like a Valerian from House of the Dragon
Saw someone say a few years ago that he looks like he lives on a boat
He looks like he grew up on an island.
Wait…
I honestly believe that his big bro had to do with that, you know, the filmographer for Survivor for the past 213 years that looks like this
TIL
I bet his guitar playing on whatever easy listening album is awesome.
He looks like the guy at the resort in Mexico that saw you and your wife from across the room…
He looks like Leroy Smith, a Tekken character.
Exactly what I said to myself. That is a sick look for him.
My man is from the Virgin Islands, so he just reverting back to his normal self.
You can take the islander out of the islands, but you can’t take the islands out of the islander
looks like Corlys Velaryon from game of thrones
Was looking for this one. If his dreads were white it would be almost 1:1.
Dude holy shit yes, I was trying to place the familiarity. 100%.
He’s so cool I hate it, he was easier to hate on when he was boring (only hate as a damaged suns fan)
“Sports hate” is real. I love the city of Boston. Such a cool place. But, I cannot fathom their teams.
It sucks a lot right now because I really like Wemby I think watching him play is incredible and everything he’s done and said outside of basketball has been really cool but I’m still a hater just cos it’s the spurs lol
As you should be
I feel the same about Pop now as a damaged Suns fan hah
bob marley esque
Bobby Mcferrin
Nor David Robinson. The Admiral still looks like he hits the gym!
He’s just an island kid at heart.
I remember when he grew out his afro in 2005 that was like his rebellious teenage phase in his own tim duncan the accountant type way.
Dude played for 100 years and waited till he was done to look sick af
He’d have been so dope if he played with his current aesthetic. Same with Kawhi when he was briefly prepping for the Olympics. Rocking dreads, tied up is such a dope look, although I understand why they don’t keep it for the season.
Looks like Leroy from Tekken
I love it, dude looks cool
Timmy with dreds is so fire
Wait… That ain’t Billy Ocean???
I love how he somehow looks older than The Admiral also lol
Robinson is still jacked. That man’s 1000 years old and he still looks like he could fight a bear.
Bro got the super serum
nah he came out the womb with that type of physique
RIP momma Robinson
He came out of his father actually
His father came him out actually
she da real mvp
Military grade to the tee
The Admiral in fine form
So cheap and easily broken?
Yeah military grade just means good enough to function
Facts
When I was a kid, I used to believe Dragon Ball characters were way too fake with their muscles. Then I saw David Robinson for the first time (in 98 I think) And I was like, yeah, I see now that humans can look like that.
Now I can’t unsee it, he literally had DBZ muscles lol. How was he not only that jacked, but so toned and ripped too? He’s obviously a professional athlete and put time in the weight room, but he had like a body builder physique on a basketball player body.
There’s always some hanging around. “Bill Russell played against plumbers”. You ever seen a plumber who looks like Nate Thurmond did?
Nate Thurmond is the epitome of just being absolutely jacked in a sport that doesn’t necessarily require it, like powerlifting would. Not that Robinson isn’t huge but holy shit, Thurmond was crazy
I’ve seen lot of plumbers with that hairline though
Super human physique. Comparing him to other humans is a disservice.
I played basketball at Trinity in 2001 and they would use our gym to practice, seeing DRob in the hallways was shocking how large he was. I’m 6’8”.
David’s cannons are 6’8”
yeah his shoulders were the size of my head
https://youtu.be/p7rx-CoTob8
I was so jealous of his arms, especially his deltoids. Still am.
Met him years ago at his naval academy reunion, dude is built like a building. Was super nice as well
the importance of strength-training and not giving it up as you age
Way easier to maintain than it is to gain too. Working hard when you’re younger will help you easily maintain shape later on.

David Robinson always lied about his age! He lied about his age all the time! One time, Frank Sinatra came in here, and sat in this chair. I say, “Frank, you hang out with David Robinson. Just between me and you, how old is The Admiral?” Know what Frank told me? He said “Hey, David Robinson is a hundred thirty-seven years old.” A hundred and thirty-seven years old!
Duncan looks older than robinson
Everyone in this sub looks older than Robinson.
Everyone in this sub also could fit in one of his biceps
I literally thought he was a super human back in the 90s. The most jacked human to play the game.
60 is the new 1000
I have one dream in life. That dream is that The Admiral enrolls Wemby in his fitness regimen and we end up with a 7’8”+++ Wemby that’s built like THIS.
My lulz will be immense and neverending if we ever get Wemby with the Howitzers of David.
Duncan Robinson
that’s probably why he was named that.
Just checked, he was named before the duo was formed
Maybe his parents are time travelers.
Spurs drafted Tim Duncan because of Duncan Robinson.
Tim Robinson
that one egg was forty eggs?
Nice
Tim David
There’s actually an Australian cricketer named Tim David
“This is BBC News, I’m Tim David.”
it’s like michael jordan and scottie pippen
Man I jealous of San Antonio’s crowd. Even their franchise legends put on the free shorts. I don’t think anyone in LA anywhere near the court wore them
It’s all part of the respect for the organization. It’s like every week a former Spur shows up at the game or practice.
Even Tiago Splitter showed up for Wemby’s first playoff game!
Is that mainly Pop’s doing? I’m not familiar with the organization.
Yup. He treats the players tough but also cares for them. Almost all of them have stories about how he treats them and they always come back around. Well except for guys like Stephen Jackson who is still butthurt that the Spurs didn’t treat him like the next Jordan
I think the only few players who didn’t like their time with Pop were SJax and Rodman
Rodman had a lot of problems when he was here, and Pop not being the coach, but still getting on him for being an idiot is what made him really dislike pop. Which idk crazy time cus the team needed him, but he was going crazy here and nearly offed himself at one point
Robert horry has talked a lot of shit about the Spurs
Rodman was mostly mad because he wanted an extension and felt he was underpaid and the Spurs didn’t give him one. So he pouted and acted crazy for the rest of the season.
Not just Pop. It’s a culture built by many people (Pop, Timmy, DRob, RC Buford, and so on) but it’s loved and respected by everyone from the ownership group to the fans. Is not unusual to see murals around San Antonio of role players like KJ, let alone superstars like Wemby.
I saw a clip where they were shaming people on the cam into putting on the shirt for the pattern
We need to bring back shaming
on a civilizational level.
The fact that people blast reels on full volume on the train and in public now, shows shame is long gone
A big part of it is that it’s our only sports franchise in the city. It’s a very close knit community. Of course not everything is going to be perfect but damn I love how they care about the culture.
You can’t throw a rock in San Antonio without hitting a car with a Spurs sticker on it.
Like, I want to give y’all shit, but outside of a few playoff series in the ‘90s, we have no real beef. San Antonio fucking loves the Spurs. If you haven’t been there, you wouldn’t get it.
I’d like free shorts too.
LA crowd comes to the game with an outfit, there’s no way they are putting on a Hanes Beefy tee.
You can’t even get your fans to wear your free shirts.
Meanwhile we got our 7’ legends rocking our shorts.
A lot of your great (delusional but great) fans have become priced out from going to games especially in the camera view seats, its just venture capitalist kids and social media “stars” who enjoy watching their phones rather than the game.
Its happened to most of the big teams really.
and that’s precisely what make Spurs fans great and will remain a great fanbase, they won’t be taken over by rich influencers or tech bros.
Why does it look like Tim Duncan is the vet compared to Robinson lol.
But I fuck with Duncan’s Bobby McFerrin dreads.
He definitely seems like a guy who hasn’t worried about everything since 1997
Young fella David Robinson won’t stop playing on that damn phone.
Definitely cuz Timmy got grey hair and greying beard and Robinson got a hat on but without the hat he’s bald
Timmy has totally embraced being old.
Admiral posting Gen X AI slop on Facebook
The Admiral is the clean cut army type
What a night.. We are finally back
Boston fan here. You guys are totally back
Man it is so fucking cool to see the Spurs be good again. The crowd was awesome and the shirt coordination looked fun.
I bet these two spent hours together today without a single word spoken. Kinda cool really. Just mutual respect, massive stature, and silence.
“I once worked played with a guy for three years center for six seasons and never learned his name. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes.” - Ron Swanson Tim Duncan
I bet they trashed talked each other for hours playing throwback Starcraft.
yeah baby
“Command and Conquer is for Fucking Noobs. This is the House That StarCraft Built, Zerg Rush or GTFO.”
-The first thing Admiral Robinson ever said to Little Timmy
Wonder what they think of SC2
Do we think David Robinson was on the phone the entire time?
And they too wore the shirts. Vibes are through the roof.
No one’s too cool for their shirts, not even the two best players in the team’s history. No excuses
The fans in the stands with the alternating OG spurs colors looks awesome
if i get those two in an all time fantasy draft i like my teams chances
In 20 years, he’ll join them in the stands to watch the Spurs newest number 1 pick dominate the league
RemindMe! 20 years
Seems unfair what the Spurs got through the draft
Just a long line of generational big men.
Admiral of the phone
Absolute legends. GOAT PF
Pop, Manu, Gervin in attendance as well
Wtf how did they get here from Detroit so fast?
♫♫ Old Man Take A Look At My Life I’m A Lot Like You ♫♫
Admiral still jacked
The Admiral is the one player in NBA history who was more intimidating at the free throw line than anywhere else.
#Howitzers
where’s sean elliott to make the trifectower?
He’s at the buffet
I thought Robinson had a small phone.
That’s a 13” iPad Pro. It just looks like a Nokia 3310 in his hands.
I knew it.
Robinson looks like his older brother took him to a game lmao
They look like the Odd Couple in this shot
as much as i would’ve loved wemby on the Hornets. i think it was perfect for him to land with the spurs. with pop and the guidance of the past legends. he fits the spurs culture
Bro thats offensive…. these men never melted under pressure 💪
Bud talking a lot of smack before the spurs have played a playoff game, and after they had the second best regular season in the league this year
Stroking his beard like a Jedi Master
Amazing just need Pop, Manu and TP.
Pop, Manu, Ice Man were all there
Manu and Pop were also there, as was Gervin.
waiting for an old woman in a longhorns shirt to stand in front of david robinson
My GOAT.
Robinson is still a tank. Damn!
Timmy looks stoned.
I’m an expert body language reader.
Timmy D is the fucking man. Miss that dude
Duncan was on that sticky Icky 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Twin Towers
Duncan just living that good life, huh?
Duncan, you alright man?
Is it just me? Robinson looks much younger than Duncan….
BONFIRE
