At this point in his career, Duncan doesn’t care if he gets voted into another All-Star game.credit: bleacherreport.net At 36 years old, Tim Duncan is in the middle of yet another very good season for the San Antonio Spurs. While everyone is waiting for him to slow down, Duncan is quietly averaging nearly 18 points, 10 rebounds, and over 2 blocks per game. By most standards, he is having an All-Star type season. But according to himself, he doesn’t really care whether or not he gets named to the All-Star game. Via My San Antonio: Duncan intends to put a halt to any and all future stops on Popovich’s Tim-for-All-Star tour. “I will not be campaigning,” he said. “I haven’t heard what Pop’s been saying, but I guess I’ve got to talk to him. “I wouldn’t complain if I’m not on the (All-Star) roster. I want to play well and want to feel good about what I’m doing on the court, but I am not going to be unhappy if I don’t make it.” At this point in his career, it’s easy to understand why Duncan doesn’t really care whether he gets voted an All-Star or not. He’ll be going down as one of the all-time greats regardless of how many extra All-Star appearances he adds on. His focus now is on winning more championships, and the Spurs looked armed and ready to go. -Mark Evans, Assistant Manager/Editor of Content Follow us on Twitter The post Tim Duncan Doesn’t Care If He Makes All-Star Team appeared first on Pass The Pill.

The San Antonio Spurs have always been thought of as that grind-it-out team. That team that methodically breaks down defenses with its passing and low post play. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili have long been able to slither their way through defenses and Duncan was just a point guard in a post's body with the way he could break down defenses with his post moves and the pass. ...

When a guard plays more than 11 seasons before picking up his first triple-double, the accomplishment calls for a celebration.

For a big chunk of the San Antonio Spurs fan population, the team can't have too many bigs.
Tim Duncan is still the anchor on defense and can still post up every now and then with Boris Diaw and Tiago Splitter backing him up or playing next to him. Other than that, the Spurs aren't considered to have much depth.
The remaining players (DeJuan Blair, Matt Bonner) are...
