In this NBA season of Kobe, his season-long farewell tour perhaps the only thing distracting from the Golden State Warriors fast break to history, it is fitting that this likely is the final season for probably the greatest power forward of all time in the NBA. He's a player who may even rank above Bryant in the all time sporting fantasy Valhalla.
Tim Duncan hasn't said he's retiring. Though many believe this 19th season with less play and career low statistics will be Duncan's last with the still mighty Spurs making the transition to LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard.
Of course, it's not only typical Duncan not to let on about his plans, but predictable that if it is Duncan's final season he may not tell anyone until he's not on the roster next October.
