Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward of all time, and fans and players everywhere will miss his presence in the NBA this year now that he has retired. The missing of Duncan has already started for his teammates, who no longer have his guidance on the court next to them in practice. After the Spurs’ practice Tuesday, Kawhi Leonard opened up about what the team is missing:
Kawhi on Tim Duncan: "His personality isn't here, jokes that he makes during practice, that's the things I'm missing right now."

It says a lot about Duncan that his teammates miss him so dearly even though he’s literally still there with them:

Of course, having Duncan there isn’t the same as having him on the floor as a member of the team. Duncan will have some sort of role with the team going forward, though. He’ll be the team’s “coach of whatever he feels like.“
