“He’s a truly a silent assassin” – Tim Duncan’s SAVAGE response when compared to Nikola Jokic is going viral among fans

Talking about a club legend, San Antonio Spurs fans will forever remember the services that Tim Duncan provided to their team. Nicknamed “the Big Fundamental,” he would dedicate the entire 19 seasons of his career to the Spurs, winning five rings with them and earning the title of one of the greatest players in NBA history.

Comparisons have always been a regular occurrence with regard to his name, but the latest name compared to him has led him to respond in a rather savage manner.

I played him after I was me and before he was him, and I did okay.

The above was Tim Duncan’s response as revealed by Richard Jefferson in the latest episode of the Pat Bev podcast on being compared to Nikola Jokic. With all those years of trash-talking, Tim once again showed that he still had a few in his locker room.

Tim Duncan is the greatest big man ever had had of if not the most impressive playoff runs of all time in 2003. Imo the best defensive player of all time too. Needs some more respect

Tim and Jokic is not a 1v1. They both always make the right play. If a prime duncan spurs plays last year nuggets, yall really confident Nuggets beating that spurs team? Remember if it wasn't for Kobe and Shaq, Timmy would have minimum 7 rings.
