San Antonio mayor Ivy Taylor has declared July 21 as Tim Duncan Day in honour of the future NBA Hall of Famer who spent 19 seasons with the Spurs.
It only seems fitting the celebration of the Spurs legend will be quite humble as City Hall plans to hang a banner honouring Duncan. Taylor is also encouraging everyone to wear his No. 21 jersey.

“Tim may not be comfortable with all the attention, but I do think he deserves it,” Taylor said (via KSAT-TV).
“Besides being one of the greatest players of all time, he’s also an outstanding role model. He taught us how to work hard, win and remain humble."
