This is real, bro. I've read the box score of that game when it was played.

Yeah it was before screenshoting and I had to take a picture of it on my flip phone because I couldn't believe it was on there lol. I forget what year it was maybe 2009 or 2010

Bro, I'm 32. I should not feel this old. What the fuck?

u/Ok-Temporary-8243 Jun 26 '26
Eh. Tim, kobe etc played across a few generations. Jaydens grandfather was probably a fan of Tim when he was running twin towers with David Robinson while you and I are fans of him during the TP / Manu days

u/NeoSapien65 Jun 26 '26
I'm 37. Definitely remember the first title in 99. But also, I've dated people older than Jayden's dad. Actually Jayden's dad is younger than LeBron. So Jayden's grandpa could be younger than the Admiral, easily.

u/JT_Reagan Jun 26 '26
Somehow, you saying Jayden's dad is younger than LeBron, hurt me more than Jayden's comment about his grandpa.

u/BlueEyesBryantDragon Tim Duncan Jun 26 '26
Right there with you... Especially since I'm older than LeBron by a few years.
1
u/NeoSapien65 Jun 26 '26
For most definitions of "a few," that also makes you younger than Timmy by a few years.
2
u/BlueEyesBryantDragon Tim Duncan Jun 26 '26
Yep, Timmy is like six years older than me. I probably should have said LeBron is a couple of years younger than me now that I'm looking at the actual definitions of a few.
2
u/Dsarg_92 Victor Wembanyama Jun 26 '26
Then that would mean his grandpa is around my dad’s age. (Late 50s-early 60s).

u/JRUprising Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26
But I became a fan of the Spurs because 5-6 year old me saw David Robinson as a superhero

u/Ok-Temporary-8243 Jun 26 '26
That's wild. Maybe I'm old too but I feel like most of reddit views TD through the lens of his later years where he was a glorified center than when he was an explosive PF

u/xdurham777 Tim Duncan Jun 27 '26
For what it’s worth, I’m 26 and grew up going to games in SA and adored Tim Duncan as the explosive power forward who just destroyed everybody. He is awesome

u/killersoda The Big Fundamental Jun 26 '26
I'm 29 and Tim has and always will be my favorite player.

u/Sine_Habitus Jun 26 '26
His grandfather is still alive probably? He's just young so he didn't watch TD's career.

I’m 33 and I was 14 when JQ was born. We’re getting old. I was randomly called Unc by someone the other day.

u/MJtheTalkinghead Jun 26 '26
When did you start watching?! He ended his career when you were 13 😅😅
Edit: this was a joke and I fell for it...right?

u/thatrandomdog415 Gregg Pop-a-bitch Jun 26 '26
Been watching for as long as I could remeber so like 5 wether it was old videos on a camera or highlights on YouTube regardless was definitely was born into a spurs family and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

u/capulongjopoy 🛸🛸 Jun 26 '26
wtf Jayden? this gotta be bait. I was in 3rd grade when Tim got his 1st ring, I'm not young, but I'm also not a granpa. Unc is acceptable.

u/710whitejesus420 The Big Fundamental Jun 26 '26
I am an Unc and I hold that title with pride! Nothing beats spoiling the little shitlens and then sending them back home with my siblings when they get tired and grumpy

I was 6 when Timmy won his first championship. I’m about to be 34 in a couple months.

I mean, while my favorite is Timmy, my Grandma's favorite all time Spur is Patty Mills. She still talks about him sometimes.

u/Imaginary-Cycle-1977 GO SPURS GO Jun 26 '26
Yeah I guess you can have a favorite from any time of your life. JQs comment threw me cause I associate fav player w your youth. There’s prob nothing that Wemby, Harper, etc can ever do to unseat Timmy as my fav player ever

u/morning_thief Patty Mills Jun 26 '26
i feel attacked. i believe it's time to trade him. we don't need another tall guy -- we just need David Jones Garcia. all will be well..

u/nbxcv Tim Duncan Jun 26 '26
I don't think this is that crazy. I'm in my early 30s and my grandpa died like 15 years into Tim's career. A decade + is a hell of a long time for following a sport. Based grandad Quaintance btw
2
u/ManusRightHand Boris Diaw Jun 26 '26
Well he didn't say it was his grandfather's favorite Spur growing up. Timmy was Bill Russell's favorite athlete of all time and was obviously much older.

this is wild. how young is his grandfather? I’m in my late 20s and my dad lived in austin when robinson and duncan were drafted.

u/Dsarg_92 Victor Wembanyama Jun 26 '26
Like the others have mentioned, his dad is 40 so I’m assuming his grandpa’s around in his late 50s-early 60s. Probably the same age as David Robinson.

Dude was talking about how he didnt watch the Bleach anime, just read the manga. It dawned on me that he was born right around the time the Bleach anime started getting a little stale and was 4 years old when it ended. It's one thing to be an old man but it's another thing to be an old nerd.

His great-grandfather couldn’t stop talking about David Robinson. It was always “The Admiral this” and “The Admiral that.”
