One reason, Why do you love the spurs?

[Rapper]

Because of the big fundamental

[DMX7]

same here, Tim Duncan.

[Ditty]

im from san antonio and there a badass team and my only real favorite team

[Frenzy]

cause they the good guys... who got a rep for being the bad guys and they don't care.

[Rapper]

Most basketball fans in the world love some attractive players like Dwade,kobe.AI.T-Mac

It is because their skill is "so-called" magnificant but I kinda disagree

'cause Timmy's inside skill is actually the most beautiful one in the world

[onarollbaby]

i became a Spurs fan because of D-Rob, I love them more when Timmy arrived

[Strike]

Team first.

[johnnyblues]

Tim Duncan. 'nuff said.

[Longley]

Passion/Admiral/Pop/Tim

[Halberto]

Because I was a fan since 4 years old, even when they sucked. Now, they're the best team of the decade and I've watched every step of the way

[timtonymanu]

cause not one player on their team acts like idiots like KG or Kobe.

[raspsa]

Because they don't give a damn on whether they're entertaining or exciting..

[romain.star]

Nick Van Exel

[mathbzh]

Team First (Duncan being the ultimate team first Superstar)

[NewJerSpur]

Nick Van Exel

Ron Mercer

[TheDarkSide.]

They're my city's team.

[romain.star]

Ron Mercer

heu........Glen Robinson (0.7 point per game during the NBA Finals)

[Duncanoypi]

Timmy/Admiral/Pop/Spurs/Silver Dancer/Cayote

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The reason I hop on their bandwagon after the Suns lose every year is because their team has a system, has players that are told to do a certain thing in the system and the players care enough about winning to always listen, and still manages to dominate the NBA with a team mentality even though the media cares more about individuals with an individual mentality and ignores what is a great team.

[NewJerSpur]

heu........Glen Robinson (0.7 point per game during the NBA Finals)

Oh really now......Kevin Willis; acquired for one reason: muscle up to Shaq. His one handed rebound thunder slamma jamma over the Diesel in Game 6 of Roundd 2 in 2003 propelled the Spurs over the Lakers onto the WCF....even though the game was pretty much in hand.

[Thomas]

Tim Duncan, I collect everything from hin since the start in the Nba, everything that followed was just like a fairytale, everything fits.

[nadie]

Tim Duncan

cause they have been my team since I was a baby going to ABA games at Hemisphere. I don't remember those years of course, but my Dad and brothers do. So I have been a Spurs fan all of my life. To me they have been more than a basketball team, but a San Antonio institution, a way of life. I have grown to appreciate how competitive they have been for such a poor, small market franchise (only 6 losing seasons in the NBA, only 4 times missing the postseason, 4 NBA Championships, and the 2nd best overall winning percentage in league history). I have grown to be thankful for having great, yet humble superstars like Gervin, David, and Tim. As I have grown older, I have learned to appreciate all that they do in the San Antonio community, especially with regards to their efforts with children. They make it so easy to follow them, root for them, and support them, cause they are pure class on and off the court. They are good people doing good things in San Antonio. Plus, they have the best Mascot in the NBA, the Coyote. No matter where I go, I will always love the Spurs.

GO SPURS GO

[Austin_Toros]

Because they have signed Marcus Williams more than any other team.

[Josepatches_]

I'm from Spain.I was a big fan of MJ and Reggie Miller in the middle of the 90's.My brother was a big fan of D-Rob and the Spurs so I liked them too.

But I began to be a big fan of the Spurs in 1999 with the end of Bull's dinasty and TD was my favourite player of the NBA.

Spurs are my basketball team but I still have affection for the Pacers.Even The Colts are my only NFL's team.

[easy7]

The Iceman, D-Rob and Duncan.

[mattyc]

Initially David Robinson. That evolved into a real love for the team and everything about it.

[Why?]

I don't need to know why....I just do.

[spursfan1000]

I live in San Antonio and they are a great team and play team basketball.

:flag:

[Biggems]

i will go as far to say that if i had NBA talent, which i obviously dont, the only team i would play for is the Spurs. if they didnt want me, i wouldnt go to another team. my loyalties to the Spurs are just too strong. The same goes for the Dallas Cowboys in football.

i mean, i could have and would have played baseball for a team other than the Astros...and i could have and would have played hockey for a team other than the Penguns.

To me, it would have been a huge honor to have played for the Spurs....to be the hometown kid and hero. It would have been something very special. I definitely would have treated the occasion with more respect, pride, and integrity than Devin Brown did. The dude had a chance to go down as a local legend and do so in front of his family and friends....and he blew it with a lazy work ethic and sometimes poor attitude. I would have had so much pride representing my people, my city, my family and friends....

[GaryJohnston]

because they are not pansy, primadonna bitches like most of the league is.

[Bukefal]

Because of everything! :)

[DAF86]

I don't love them, I just want them to win. Initially because of Elliott, now because of Manu and when Gino's gone I'll probably stay a Spur fan because of SpursTalk.

[Flux451]

They are a classy representation of a beautiful city. And fun to watch, especially when the team effort is well, effortless.

[phxspurfan]

1. Robinson
2. Duncan
3. HEB Commercials

[xtremesteven33]

David Robinson.

[mytespurs]

I'm not a big NBA fan (NFL is my sport) but I became a Spurs fan during the TD era. Actually, I started getting into the Spurs because of Ginobili-I love his passion, energy, style of play.

But I like this team because they win and do so with dignity and class...not arrogance and a sense of entitlement.

[Creation88]

hometown team and above all else they do it the right way. the best professionals in sports.

[galvatron3000]

David Robinson got me involved with Spurs loving but as time went on an management and ownership improved I fell in love with how they do things, scouting, signings, discipline and accountability.

[bdictjames]

Timmy - quiet but solid.

[tlongII]

Who?

[Loquacist]

Born in Texas, hate the Lakers (Fakers) with a passion. That's all it takes.

[stéphane]

Team
One way to read it, two to hear it.

[SenorSpur]

They're my city's team.

Right on!

[birdy219]

I became a Spurs fan because of their humility and focus on team first.:flag:

[RobSM64]

they represent my city, the best damn representatives in the NBA IMO

[Pauleta14]

Guacamole!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Because they may have the only fanbase in sports in which fans of one great player on the team are compelled somehow to hate another great player on the team.

[shelshor]

Team First Integrity

[Morg1411]

Because they're the most un-NBA basketball team out there.

Because of their structure, their system and their dedication.

Because of Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli, Michael Finley and Money Mason.

And, of course, because of the spiffy black away uniforms. :hat

[Tully365]

Because the level-headed, intelligent, patient wisdom of the team and the the people who run the team are in stark contrast to the rabid homerism, small mindedness, illiteracy, homophobia, and general stupidity that are allowed to prosper on spurstalk. And also because Tim Duncan doesn't have a messianic complex and wouldn't erase posts on an internet site that dare to disagree with him.

[sananspursfan21]

david robinson started me watching the spurs and now i love them because of mr. duncan but i'm a lifer for the spurs so even when the sad day that timmy retires, i will remain a fan

[kamikazi_player]

Gregg Popovich

[Trimble87]

Hard to give just one reason. So this is my one reason, split into three parts lol.

1: Mr Tim Duncan

2. I've lived in SA since I was 2, the Spurs will always be my team.

3. There is something to be said for being not only the winningest franchise in pro sports over the last 10 years, but doing so in a classy manner. None of our guys mouth off, none of our guys are 'thugs', none of our guys showboat or hog the ball. We epitomize intelligence and fairness. We win as one team and we lose as one team.

In this era of profesiional sports its truly rare to have 'professional' athletes. And we always have a team full of them. <3 the Spurs!.

:flag:

[Agloco]

Because of the big fundamental

Werd, da funda-mizzle....... fo-shizzle!!:toast

If Pop wasn't coaching like a drunken fool, I'd consider putting him down as well.

[howbouthemspurs]

Mengke Bateer! And his translator who thought he was one of the coaches!

[superbigtime]

Spurs are all class baby. They represent the NBA better than any team, yet don't get quite the recognition and respect for it. Their success is all the more incredible because the odds against them are greater than for most teams. I admire and repect the way the players carry themselves and their hard play. They represent San Antonio so well, and basically put it on the map for a lot of people in the states and across the world. Where would SA be without the Spurs? They have had three incredible basketball legends and a great history. I love the uniforms and the coyote too. The Spurs are just awesome.

[samikeyp]

Mengke Bateer! And his translator who thought he was one of the coaches!

That dude was hilarious. Jimmy Chan I think?

At the Alamodome celebration in 03, he spoke for Bateer and I am pretty sure he was drunk. :lol

[urunobili]

D-Rob

[Thompson]

They are the epitome of what everyone says they want in a good, respectable sports team... and everyone hates them for it.

[Thompson]

D-Rob

He was the reason I began to follow them; a great player, and more importantly, a great man.

[RodNIc91]

Because they are the team who plays the sport to nearly perfection, no matter if it is 'boring'. They only care for winning, which is what matters in the end, and they gotten 'over theirselves'. Because of Timmy, The admiral, Tony, manu, bruce pop..and everyone who has been in these organization knows how to get the job done, and they do it in a classy, selflessness way.

GO SPURS GO

[jack sommerset]

This is gay for even you guys.

[MANUUU]

because if youre a real basketball fan, you'd love to see how basketball SHOULD be played.

[peskypesky]

Tim Duncan, greatest power forward in NBA history.
