Tim Duncan, Retirement of Legends, Best Basketball Players Ever, Nate Miller, Lansing United, Draymond Green, and Weekend Winners.

After 19 decorated seasons, another NBA legend has stepped away from the hardwood. Tim Duncan's humble retirement has Al and Isaac compile their list not only of the greatest power forwards ever but of the greatest players ever, remembering what "The Big Fundamental" did so perfectly. Where does Duncan stack up compared to the all-time greats? Then, Nate Miller, coach of Lansing United, phones in to discuss his team's positioning after a 3-1 home win against Detroit City FC. Al and Isaac add their analysis. Finally, Al picks the Detroit Tigers as his weekend losers, but the rest of 'Weekend Winners' are a little bit more upbeat.
