NBA: Tim Duncan, A Look Back.

With news of Tim Duncan's retirement this week, it is time to take a look at his place amongst the great power forwards in NBA history.

I found this list from ESPN that seemed like a good place to start.  With 26,496 career points, he sits 14th all-time.   I've always loved Timmy's bank shot, and hated meeting him in the playoffs.  Did you know he is also one of the best defenders at his position?  As I dug into the stats in this group, this one really stood out:

Just incredible, zero career personal fouls committed.  Not a single one.  Perfect.  Contrast this with the Mailman's 4,578, and you can start to understand exactly what we are losing from the game.  

You might be saying, that's not possible.  But the career block numbers back this up:

Timmy, you'll be missed.  The bank is closed.
