National Basketball Association (NBA)

"I am who I am because of the people who I grew up with and where I'm from."

"I don't try to change myself to impress anybody. I'm just who I am."

"If we win, I'm happy. The rest of it is just stuff."

"I know I'm the guy others will lean on."

"I'm attacking the basket more. Because I'm more comfortable on the line, that's an area I want to get to."

"I'm still learning. Hopefully I can keep getting better, and not stop where I am now."

"I've never gotten too high or too low. It only messes you up."

"They say I have no emotions, but I'm excited even if you can't see it."

"Don't be fooled. He's much more vicious than he looks." - Joe Smith

"Dunc is a real thinker out there-plus he's got a tremendous work ethic to go with all the talent." - Donnie Walsh

"Dunc is one of the few players in the NBA with a significant go-to move; his inside pivot into the rocker step position off the glass is deadly from 12 to 15 feet." - Reggie Theus

"He has an understanding of the game I can really appreciate." - David Robinson

"He's a great player, there's not any question about that." - Jerry Sloan

"He's a quiet assassin who is skilled in all aspects of the game." - George Karl

"He's been clutcher than clutch. At the end of close games, everyone knows we're going to him. That makes it much tougher on Dunc, of course-and he still comes through." - Gregg Popovich

"He's got the footwork of Kevin McHale, the athleticism of David Robinson. That's a heck of a talent." - Brad Daugherty

"He sees the court as well or better than a lot of guards. When I look at him I see nothing but greatness." - Jerry West

"He's not a good passer, he's a great passer. He's the best passer I've seen at his size since Bill Walton." - Gregg Popovich

"He's not throwing behind-the-back passes, he's not doing tomahawk jams, he's not doing anything that's very flashy. He's just a very unassuming guy who goes about his job, and the next thing you know he's got 23 points and 20 rebounds." - Byron Scott

"He would have gone to the 1992 Olympics and held his own against the world." - Tricia Duncan

"His hoop IQ is extraordinary." - Lamar Odom

"If Tim starts making threes, we can all go home." - Avery Johnson

"If you're looking for a fearless warrior who plays his A-game every single night, you'd have a hard time finding anybody better than Timmy in any era." - Dave Odom

"Mom never got to see Timmy play ball seriously. But I think she's looking down from heaven cheering him on-the loudest voice among all the angels. I think Timmy still hears her." - Cheryl Duncan Lowery

"Some great players will take a possession or two off. Tim never does." - Raef LaFrentz

"Subjecting himself to learning and maturing in a college atmosphere was wiser than entering the NBA early." - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

"Tim has been a joy." - Gregg Popovich
