For the man who routinely avoids fanfare, the city of San Antonio is picking up the slack.
The office of Mayor Ivy Taylor issued a press release proclaiming Thursday, July 21, to be Tim Duncan Day. Fans, community members, and civil servants are rushing out to commemorate The Big Fundamental in more ways than one across social media.
Simply put: #TimDuncanDay is lit in a virtual celebration of 19 years, 5 championships, and an impressive array of other awards. Here’s a look at how some are lauding Timmy on his day.
Here is the official decree from the City of San Antonio:
Today is #TimDuncanDay! Hope all @spurs fans join the virtual love fest! #GoSpursGo @COSAGOV @BexarCounty pic.twitter.com/gQfeRut5vj
