Tony gives Timmy his jacket. Too bad Manu couldn't be there to hear Barkley yell "GINOBILI" once again. "Inside" gets a long overdue award. As I've said before on this board, it's the best show on TV.
The Athletic is worth the subscription.
Tennessee fans should be pissed. Tee Martin could have won them two national championships if Manning had left early.
Man, it was cool to read all those old stories again. Glad to see a national audience is getting to read them for the first time.
Yeah, if you are a sports fan and don't see paying for The Athletic as good use of your latte currency, I don't know what to tell you.
I’m sure it was evident to everyone after a practice or two that Duncan was legit.
We all know about Chris King and Odom going to the VI. The story I want to know is how Rick Barnes discovered Duncan.
Rick Barnes, Texas
The one that got away: Tim Duncan. "We had him committed to Providence. We already had the full allotment but I knew we had a guy that was going to transfer, maybe two. I went to our athletic director and we went to the president, who was a priest at the time. I told him I wanted to sign Tim and he said, 'But you don't have a scholarship.' I said, 'I will.' He wouldn't let me sign him. Tim goes to Wake Forest and the other two guys transfer."
We also know that Timmy said he chose Wake because it was warmer than RI.

Yeah, pretty meaningful not to mention the MVP on your fifth championship. But before Kawhi left, Spurs fans thought Timmy was to Kawhi what Robinson was to Timmy.
Went back to watch the jacket ceremony and the rest of the early ceremony. KG's daughter isn't much shorter than Tony Parker and is probably 12 or 13 years old.
Mike Breen has to be one of the most/least known people in the business. I think his voice is recognizable, but I doubt few more than the diehards actually know his name compared to Jim Nantz, Joe Buck, or Al Michaels.

I need to hear Duncan say he was ready to commit to PC before I buy Barnes' story.
