Reflections Upon the Retirement of Tim Duncan

Reflections Upon the Retirement of Tim Duncan

by the Wildcard

Timmy never spoke too loud

He did his job and disappeared

As soon as the season was over

It’s only by coincidence that he’s also

The greatest power forward in NBA history

Timmy never dressed too flash

Plain jeans and a baggy shirt

If he wasn’t nearly seven feet tall

You probably wouldn’t recognise him

If you walked past him on the street

Timmy never started trouble

Though he did start 1389 NBA games

Scoring 26,496 points with 15,091 rebounds

And winning five separate championships

In 19 years all with the same team

Timmy just played basketball

And dammit he was good
