His high this season is 42 against the Sacramento Kings April 12, 2001. Duncan when he was growing up in the Virgin Islands. He didn't play organized basketball until he was in the ninth grade. He was a serious swimmer and tops in the 400 freestyle event for his age group. If it wasn't for Hurricane Hugo's destruction of the pool in 1989, that Duncan swam in, he may well have become an Olympic swimmer who's time would probably have been past rather than and All-Star NBA talent who's future is just beginning.
Swimming is taken seriously in the Duncan family.
His sisters Cheryl and Tricia were members of the Virgin Islands swim team in the 1998 Olympics. How ironic how a hurricane could change the course of history. Instead of swimming for a gold medal in the Olympics once every four years, he is now down in the NBA trenches trying to win his second NBA title in his four year NBA career. To achieve that goal Duncan won't be funkin around .he knows what he's doing. He's like Santa Claus when you send Santa a letter to the North Pole.
