    A spur is a smaller ridge coming off at an angle perpendicular to a mountain ridge.

    It's called the Spurs because all the other possibilities were too long:
    The San Antonio Cowboy Hats
    The San Antonio Bull Horns on a Car Hood
    The San Antonio Blazing Saddles
    The San Antonio Cow-Tippers

    It's because before they were the LA Lakers they were the Minneapolis Lakers. Minnesota is the Great Lake State.

    Same reason that they claimed the Minneapolis championships...because they knew they would never catch Boston...so they tried to say they had also won those les...

    Only laker fans believe this is legit...

    Its a painful way to motivate a large animal to follow commands.

    giddy up...

    Or, its just another of a million horsey accessories. Personally I am more fond of hoof picks. noun

    Same thing as if OKC claimed Jack Sikma to be a savior. Or Gus Williams.

    OKC ,by Laker standards, has already won a championship. BTW the championship Minn. Lakers were beaten by the Harlem Globe Trotters in one of the years they were champs I do believe... Back when there were 8 NBA teams.

    For God's sake, Patty, if you ever date a cowgirl from Texas DON'T let her wear her boots and spurs to bed. Christ, that hurts something awful.

    Or should I say "Crikey, mate, them spurs dig deep in your arse."

    Red McCombs originally brought the basketball team here from Dallas. Red's birthplace is Spur, Texas.

    Judging by the OP's name I would say he/she is from Australia, so it would be like us asking wtf does "throw another shrimp on the barby" mean. Apparently we gained alot of Aussie fans with Patty Mills

    They're actually called prawns down under. So the quote is stupid. No one in AUS has actually said this, ever.
