Tim Duncan (#2 BEAR) is now retired, and coach Greg Popovich will no longer be bringing him carrot cake. “Say what?” you ask. It was a road ritual between the coach and player. Greg knew Tim loved carrot cake, so while on the road he would often leave a package from a nearby restaurant outside Tim Duncan’s hotel door. Inside, of course, was carrot cake. But now, he will no longer be bringing carrot cake.
He’s gone, Popovich said this week. I’ve put it out of my mind.
