“I congratulate Tim Duncan for the fine sportsmanship he and his teammates displayed in both the Western Conference Finals and the NBA finals,” deJongh said.
Tim Duncan has developed into the stoic and selfless foundation of the Spurs and on Thursday night the emotions ran high as he so adequately pointed out, “It’s unbelievable and it never gets old.”
DeJongh said Friday he looks forward to honoring Tim Duncan’s success. “We are truly proud of Tim Duncan, the Spurs common denominator, who leads his team by examples of: discipline, dedication and diligence and we will plan appropriate ceremonies to show our appreciation.”
