Love on Duncan

On his blog on NBA.com, Kevin Love talks about his first week in the NBA, the team’s upcoming road trip, and Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.

It was crazy. It was my first going up against Tim Duncan. And to see him work and all his moves and how he’s a finisher around the bucket. I’ve always looked up to his game while I was growing up. He’s a … serious player. He’s the greatest winner in the past 10 years. And far as best player goes, it’s probably him.

So going up against him, and learning from him — there were teaching points last night. He hit a 15-footer off the glass and I was running up the court and said ‘Man, what can I do about that?’ Well young fella, you can’t do much about that, to be honest with you…

With Tim Duncan, we went into two overtimes, and I would have thought, before I looked at the stat sheet thought maybe he had 15, 18 points and he ended up having 30 points and 16 rebounds. That was the quietest 30 and 16 I’ve ever seen. He just goes out there and produces and gets it done.
