When it's all said and done for the Big Fundamental, he just wants a quiet exit.

Tim Duncan was asked about getting a Kobe Bryant-style farewell tour, and the San Antonio Spurs superstar politely declined.

"Not my deal," Duncan told Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News. "Not my style."

Should he leave without much fanfare, it would only be keeping with the way Duncan approached his 20-year career. He's ducked the spotlight at every opportunity, and unlike Bryant, Duncan never clamored to become one of the faces of the league.
