This is a touching story (although I can see why it was so easy for his Financial Advisor to take $$$ from him)

Tim Duncan is a future Hall of Famer with a big heart.

The following story was posted on Reddit over a year ago, but somehow never went viral until Saturday, when it was discovered by Pounding the Rock's Quixem Ramirez. The Redditor claims that Duncan once footed the bill for her dog to undergo life-saving surgery:

I met Tim Duncan in Denver shortly after having been told that my dog had liver cancer and the surgery was going to cost $12,000. I was crying and visibly upset and after explaining to him what was happening, he offered to pay for the entire operation. As a single mother working 3 jobs to make ends meet, I had no chance of keeping my best friend alive. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.

The Redditor didn't reveal how surgery went, but hopefully the dog is still alive and doing well.

Hard to dislike Duncan or Dirk.

I respect Duncan (probably the only Spur I don't dislike) but I do find him dull.

I like and respect Dirk though.

Duncan, Joe Montana, and Buster Posey are all players I have despised on the playing field, but it's hard not to admire them as great human beings.

Duncan is a class act!!

Spurs Suck!!! (so do the SF 49ers and the SF Giants )
