Remember Big Fun with this Tim Duncan day shirt

It's a day that could only come after two decades of excellence and selflessness. A day its namesake would never have asked for, but one which was demanded by his achievements, and conduct on and off the court.

Remember Big Fun with this Tim Duncan day shirt

First, there was Tim Duncan and his much maligned dad wardrobe, then there were all of those stories The Onion did on Timmy. Then there was Tim being a dad to the rest of the Spurs, and finally him being a dad to his kids. Then Tim retired. Sadness abounded. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth.

And then this happened.

Joy returned to Mudville San Antonio, and all it took was re-purposing a video that Manu Ginobili made for the birthday of his sons, Dante and Nicola -- and reposting it to wish him his own happy birthday.

So, feliz cumpleaños, Manu. Happy 39th, and thanks for being goofy. Turns out that we needed it.
