In his Hall of Fame induction speech, Tony Parker mentioned how Tim Duncan doesn't like French people and didn't speak to him for his whole rookie year.

I miss the days when teammates stayed together - they had great chemistry for years.

[Lord_OTD]

“Did you talk to Timmy?” - I’m in stitches 😂

[veronicajohnson]

Tim Duncan looks like he’s been living his best life out of the spotlight 😂❤

[HolyO.B]

Nobody ever gives Tony Parker his credit bro had the funniest NBA HOF speech of all time he deadass was just making jokes from start to finish it was Hilarious 😂 go watch his whole speech 🤣🔥

Damn you know you old when you’ve watch Tim Duncan’s entire career.

[jakesnake]

Probably the most humble/likeable group of guys to win a chip. Manu, Tim, Tony.

[DreamingAwakeJournal]

Most underrated point guard of all time

[pacisaliveee]

I forgot how good Tony Parker was, yah need to watch his highlights

The chemistry between the three is amazing, they’re like best friends

Tony has exceptional delivery, timing and poise as a public speaker. There are professional stand up comics out there who aren’t as smooth as this dude. I’d bet the majority of American politicians aren’t on Tony’s level and they sell word-salad non-answers professionally. This dude didn’t spend his whole life practicing and honing this skill throughout his whole life like people in spoken word centric professions did either. His time had to be absolutely consumed by and totally dedicated to understanding and getting better at basketball, and only basketball, for him to make it. Making it to the NBA is damn-near impossible for almost every human on Earth. This dude made it and won multiple championships as a starting point guard despite being born into a normal, regular sized human body IN FRANCE. It’s amazing that he found time to learn English as a second language at all, much less to become proficient and fluent enough in that language that his communication is unhindered to the point that he is understood and doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb surrounded by giant, bright neon arrows. But the fact that he was able to become slick enough to deliver a “roast” style set that contains genuinely funny jokes and doesn’t feel/sound awkward or clunky in front of a live audience IN A SECOND LANGUAGE is legitimately incredible. I don’t think most people would realize how fucking crazy that is.

Miss those days. Those spurs were one of the most skilled and most consistent and their chemistry was outstanding. Such a great team. They played the right way. Team basketball. All ego’s aside for the sake of the team’s success. 🙏🏼✊🏼🤙🏼

I became a Spurs fan because I'm from the Virgin Islands and I've been following Tim Duncan since the Wake Forest days. But Tony Parker was my favorite Spurs player. A very unselfish and exciting player. Timmy, Tony, and Manu was the team.

🤣🤣🤣 that Spurs team was a legit dynasty and stopped my Lakers many, many times….. Tim Duncan is by far the best PF of all-time. In my eyes. Legend 💯

[Circle.Dem.Wagons]

Tim look good with them locks didn’t even recognize bro at first

[davidca]

I love hearing Garnett talk about how Duncan talked trash. No bad words no yelling nothing, just "ooo almost" "bit too slow" its fantastic.

[JLWprime]

Tim Duncan is the goat man I grew up as a kid in San Antonio my whole family was all about the spurs and Tim Duncan was what got me into basketball 🐐❤️

[DMTR]

Tony was mad funny. Great jokes and timing. Loved the Spurs team.

I'm a die hard Lakers Fan. I'm from Inglewood CA no need to explain 😂. I have to say when it comes to Power Forward Tim Duncan is the GOAT
