Tim Duncan on playing with Aldridge: 'I'm going to ride his coattails'

  • 9 years ago
After seeing that LaMarcus Aldridge was heavily considering signing with the San Antonio Spurs early in the free agency process, Tim Duncan confirmed that he would be returning to play in his 19th NBA season.
Duncan knows that Aldridge is the key to the Spurs winning another championship, and as he told Bleacher Report's Jared Zwerling, he can't wait to push and help his new teammate.
As Duncan's career winds down, he is still playing at an All-Star level, but the addition of LaMarcus Aldridge Aldridge should help him conserve his body for the playoffs and San Antonio's hopeful championship run.
Aldridge has already said that he isn't worried about his game meshing with Duncan, so it sounds like the two are already on the same page well before the season starts.
