Tim Duncan is back with the Spurs as an assistant coach and it feels like the perfect fit.
The 15-time All-NBA performer spent his entire career in San Antonio playing under Gregg Popovich and he seems like he would be the perfect fit on Pop's bench.
However, on Monday, Popovich said, "Tim Duncan doesn't know a lick about coaching. I don't know why I hired him."
Now, Popovich was joking, but it does bring into question just how much Duncan does know about coaching.
Sure, he's nice and quiet and his relationship with Popovich helped set the tone for the Spurs run of playoff appearances and the 18 consecutive 50-win seasons they had during his career, but does that mean he knows how to help manage an NBA team from the sidelines?
