NBA teams pay tribute to retired San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan
On Monday, the NBA said good-bye to an all-time legend, Tim Duncan.
Duncan's announcement wraps up an incredible career, one which includes five NBA titles, two MVP's, 19 seasons with one team, and incredibly 18 seasons of 50 or more wins (the only time that Duncan's team didn't win 50+ games came in a lockout-shortened 1998-99 season).
Simply put, there will never be another Tim Duncan.
And after we showed you player reaction to his announcement earlier today, here are how teams across the NBA are reacting to the announcement that Duncan has played his final professional game.
