Impetus: Tim Duncan announces his retirement after playing 19 years in the NBA
I wax poetic about professionals occasionally, in the spirit of writing about professions. Chris Benoit was a wrestler I loved to watch. David Ross is a baseball player that I love. Kobe Bryant was the successful successor to Michael Jordan. Etcetera, etcetera.
In the right context, I can appreciate damn near anyone. I’m under the belief that under the right context, anyone can appreciate anyone if glazed in the appropriate words and descriptions.
Tim Duncan was one of my all-time favorite players, ever. Full stop, period.
