Never Trash-Talk Tim Duncan, You’ll Regret It Just Like Drayomond Green
Tim Duncan, arguably was the greatest Power Forward of All-Time. The Big Fundamental was able to dominate on both ends of the floor, and also was immune to mind games and trash talk.
In a diary entry for ESPN’s The Undefeated, Draymond Green talked about Tim Duncan’s career, the impact Duncan has had on basketball and on his first and last attempt to trash-talk Tim.
“I do have a Tim Duncan story. My rookie year I kind of talked junk to everybody. In the middle of the game I started talking to Tim, and I had already got into it with somebody on their team. I don’t remember who it was. But I started talking to Tim and he kind of just stared at me. I just kept talking junk to him and he kept staring at me.
At that point I realized during the rest of my career that I might as well not talk to him. Either, one, he is not going to talk back because he has no respect for me. Or, two, he is not going to talk back because that is who he is. Or, three, both. I figured then that was the last time I would talk junk to Tim. And that was the last time.”
Tim Duncan is a legend.
