Duncan respects him but doesn't like him

They do seem like two different people.....

He sort of fumbles over what he's trying to say. He ultimately says no one impresses him.

This is a non-story

So a non-story. He said he isnt impressed by anyone in the world.

Patrick: That’s it. You met Jordan?

Duncan: But Jordan’s Jordan. I’ve always respected him but I’ve never been a fan of his.

Patrick: Why aren’t you a fan of Jordan’s?

‘Duncan: Because everybody else is.

Patrick: Oh, so you don’t like Michael Jordan because everybody else does.

Duncan: No, I don’t like Michael Jordan because I don’t like Michael Jordan. You got me wrong there. I respect Michael Jordan.


I like how Tim says he doesn't like him because everyone else does. Then the interviewer responds with his exact answer to confirm. And once Tim heard someone else say it, he backtracked

With Tim Duncan, this really isn't surprising and really should be a nonstory.

Please. Duncan didn't win 5 championships in three different decades by being soft.

He just seems like a vastly different person and also the type to distinguish respecting a player vs liking a player.

Duncan would be one of the first people that I would think that Jordan wouldn’t effect at all.

You realize people just stopped talking shite to Duncan because he would just stare at them with a blank look on his face?

5 titles
2 MVPs
3 Finals MVPs
Never missed the playoffs In the West.

Tim Duncan is as mentally tough as they come.

I might be in the minority but I hated Duncan when he played.

Tim Duncan is proof you don't have to be an a-hole to be a winner.

Did they really write an article based upon a twenty-two-year-old interview?

No way. As others stated, Duncan would probably have a blank look on his face after some Jordan smack. Timmy wouldn’t give a shite what Jordan spewed.

It’s not like they would have been guarding each other.

I think it’s amazing that suddenly MJ is the goat and ‘mental and verbal abuse’ also. I’m still waiting for him to cure cancer.

Tim Grover said he did one night on a road trip but Horace Grant destroyed the research.

Tim Duncan is an extremely uninteresting individual.
