Tim Duncan Scoring Series | Learn Basketball Training Tips from Spartan Basketball | Tim Springer

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Tim Duncan might be 36 years old, but he hasn’t lost a step. He took the LA Clippers defenders to the work in footwork and fundamentals as they took a 2-0 advantage on thursday night. The two-time NBA MVP scored 18 points to get one step closer to another NBA Title. The San Antonio Spurs have continued to build around him because he is their backbone.

In game 1, he had 26 points so they went back to him in the second game. They feed him the ball for 10 points in the first seven minutes. Tim Duncan displayed his short and mid-range jumpshots as well as his post-up game with exceptional footwoork. He will show the ball one way and makes a move the other way to the rim and lays it in.

Tim Duncan wasn’t ever going to be a dunking machine or display sheer power, but younger players can learn from his nickname “Big Fundamental”. He has quietly done his business for 15 seasons and has won four championships along with three finals and two league MVP trophies.

He might be the most fundamentally sound big man in the game’s history. He isn’t sexy or physically dominant like Shaq use to be. He isn’t going to tear down rims or knock guys over, he just kills them with precision and funadmentals.

Tim Duncan is a rare thing. He reminds us that you don’t have to be all about power or athleticism. You don’t have to spend countless hours hitting the weights to dominate an NBA Game. Sometimes it’s the little funadmentals that matter the most. Tim Duncan is a prime example of that.
