History[]
Tim is an all-star professional basketball player who eventually became a billionaire and the owner and head basketball coach of the Vipers. He also began a career as a recording artist. Tim's team was eventually renamed the Daves due to a fan winning the contest to bestow the team a new name.
Tim debuted in "Air Turtle". After watching a disguised Leo defeat his brothers in basketball at a New York City park, Tim offered him the position of the mascot for the Daves basketball team. Leo happily accepted, but despite his efforts at energizing the team and the audience, the Daves continued to play poorly. After they lost a game 0-25, Tim asked Leo for advice and he was told by him to change his mojo by obtaining a lucky item. Tim, in turn, brought the mystic Arch of Aquinnah to the basketball court and had his players walk under it when they entered their next game against the Knights, transforming them into demons. Tim walked below the Arch himself once the Mad Dogs joined the Knights to break the arch's spell and played against them. Tim and the Daves ultimately lost 121-122 and regained their human bodies.
