San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan may be retired, but he’s still around the franchise all the time and the future Hall of Famer is apparently sticking up the locker room with his garment, according to Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.
Duncan never had the fanciest clothes during his playing days. If you didn’t know who Tim Duncan was, based off of the way he dressed, you would guess he’s a regular guy since he’s always wearing jeans. Gregg Popovich says Duncan works out at the Spurs’ facility on a daily basis and along with giving advice to younger players, is making the locker room smell even worse.

Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich have a special bond as everyone knows. The two won five NBA championships together and had a coach-player relationship that everyone dreams of having. Duncan won two MVP awards as a Spur, three Finals MVPs and is arguably the greatest power forward of all time.
In 1,392 games with the Spurs, Tim Duncan averaged 19.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 50.6 percent from the field. Like Popovich says, anytime Duncan can give you advice about the game, you take it. You just don’t take his advice when it comes to fashion.
