The Confirmation of St. Timothy
Following a sports team is often a spiritual experience. It’s something that takes a lot of your dedication, energy, belief, and - most of all - faith. Being the unseen evidence of future promises, faith is by its nature a renewable resource. In retrospect, the 1997 drafting of Tim Duncan may have been the safest leap of faith in sports history. But at the time, Spurs fans were used to having their faith evaporate in the wilderness of the Western Conference playoffs. It took someone almost messiah-like to revive the promise of basketball in San Antonio.
