The Feb. 15 game is at Madison Square Garden in New York, which was the site of Duncans inaugural All-Star appearance in 1998.Its an honour to be there, Im happy to go, Duncan said. Would I have loved a couple of days off? Maybe, but it is what it is. It will be fun. My kids will love the experience and they will enjoy it.Perhaps not as much as Duncan, though.Duncan is stoic on the floor and in dealing with the media, but he is extremely mischievous behind the scenes. He loves playing practical jokes on teammates and teasing them, comparing his wicked sense of humour to that of Will Hunting in Good Will Hunting.Get ready for that, Steve Kerr. Kerr is coaching the West after leading Golden State to the leagues best record in his first season with the Warriors. Kerr and Duncan were teammates in San Antonio for four seasons, winning NBA championships in 1999 and 2003.Thats the best part, Duncan said, smiling. Im just going to give him all kinds of (ribbing) the entire time, just make his life hell the entire game, in every huddle, in every play. Im going to work him the whole time.If dealing with Duncans shenanigans isnt enough for Kerr, there is also the ominous threat of displeasing his mentor, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich.Popovich was asked if he requested Kerr limit Duncans minutes.If he plays him at all, Im never speaking to himm again, Popovich said with a chuckle. Daniel Sorensen Jersey. The caution is understandable. The Spurs have struggled to find the consistency they showed last June in steamrolling the Miami Heat in five games to win their fifth NBA title. They have been plagued by injuries to key players including Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard. The one player to escape injury thus far is also its oldest.Ive been blessed, Ive been healthy, Duncan said. The last couple of years Ive made it through an entire season healthy. My role has changed over the years. Im just trying to be a positive on the floor thats all I want to be and be consistent at what I have to do for the team as possible.Duncan is averaging 14.7 points and 10.1 rebounds and has 22 double-doubles in 42 games. He is also averaging 30.3 minutes, third most on the team.Hes having a good year, Popovich said. Weve been a little up and down, but hes been really steady. Hes carried us to this point with his consistency, which is whats really impressive. Im really thankful to the coaches for seeing that and putting him on (the All-Star team).After Thursdays games, San Antonio was just 2 1/2 games behind the Portland Trail Blazers for third place in the West. The Spurs have won three straight and eight of 11 and have three straight home games before their annual nearly monthlong rodeo road trip.Its a good stretch, a really good stretch, Duncan said. Kind of needed right now. Weve had kind of grind this first half of the season. I know a lot of the guys are looking forward to it, but were not there yet and were not looking forward to that just yet. Weve got these games to finish out before the break and well do just that.
