Tim Duncan Channels Rasheed Wallace, Incurs Two Technical Fouls, Gets Ejected From Game

In today's game against the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan incurred two technical fouls and was, summarily, ejected. Duncan, long considered "bland," is often held up as an example of a hard working athlete who quietly goes about his business -the right way. "Big Fundamentals," as Shaquille O'Neal nicknamed him, is considered a role model by many. But he definitely isn't considered cool.

Maybe "Big Fundamentals" is trying to increase his street cred. Or perhaps he's trying to "toughen up" in time for the playoffs. Or, for all we know, he could be hanging around Rasheed Wallace -and picking up some of 'Sheed's bad habits.

Who knows?

What we do know (we being the editorial staff here at Drive and Dish -yeah, we have to work on Sundays too) is that we love to reference (recycle) previous Drive and Dish posts. We did so yesterday, and we're still in a recycling frame of mind. Thank you Tim Duncan. You just provided us with a prime opportunity to recycle another archived D&D post.

Note:

All joking aside, Drive and Dish isn't lazy. The reason we're so fond of recycling archived posts is because our readers tend to read only the posts that appear on the top of the screen. People usually don't scroll down and read older posts. They rarely go to the archives. So we can't expect our readers to be familiar with our older material. Yet it's frequently the case that older material remains relevant (as is the case with the Rasheed Wallace piece), and often dovetails well with new material on new issues/developments.
