Laker fan converting to Spurs fan.

[SteelerNation]

Well here I am. I cant, in good faith, support the Lakers anymore. Just to many things make me sick to my stomach. Like getting Gasol for nothing. Artest for nothing. Lamar on a reduced rate. Fisher released from the jazz and the Lakers get him for nothing. I just dont like it. I support teams that earn it. Hence my screenname. The Steelers have always played blue collar ball and built through the draft. They have never went out and bought their teams. I live in San Antonio and am ready to support the silver and black.

[galvatron3000]

I live in Aalabama and have all my life, we don't want you back

[z0sa]

nothing like hopping from bandwagon to bandwagon.

i personally don't want you rooting for the same team in the same gym as me ever.

[SteelerNation]

I'm not looking for approval, kids. Just stating a fact.

[z0sa]

Just stating a fact.

you're no spurs fan.

[SteelerNation]

How old are you zOsa? I keep seeing you talk a tough game but I bet I know maore about the Spurs than you do. So lets see who is the better Spurs fan.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I definitely don't think that being a "true Spurs fan" is an exclusive club or anything, and for sure we're not in charge of who is and isn't a fan. So good luck, and get yourself some paraphenalia. Maybe a jersey, or warmup shirt. Support the FO!

Ahh I get it, you don't want to break your winning streak so your converting to the Spurs side because you know whats coming right??? CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[galvatron3000]

Dude, I'm just kidding with ya because this is what I would say to anyone who hops on the Spurs bandwagon. It's all fun. I hope you mean it but not concern either way. I thought I'd have fun with it but I was never obscene with my comment. Even though your comment was questionable


There's a guy that told me a few weeks ago he hated Duncan and I was like why ( because folks always hate on Duncan down here) and he was like because he is too good and I was like oh, I respect that because he was honest enough to say I just hate the fact that he's good, out of respect not real hate. Again, I live in Birmingham, Alabama where we will possibly never get a pro anything, I choose Silver and Black.

Its all good, man. I live in San Antonio and its about time i wise up to the ways of the city. Because it really is a great place to live. I've got a lot of friends that are Spurs fans and they are gonna be shocked that I'm gonna be ridin' with them next year. They have always tried and pull me to their side and now they are gonna freak that i'm doing it right when the Lakers get back on top. Gonna be fun times this season.

* And if a MOD can change my team from the Lakers to the Spurs, i would appreciate it. I looked for a way to do it and cant find it.

I agree to an extent. I'll never change the Steelers. Ever. So I get what you're saying. But sometimes feeling change and circumstances change. I know a lot of people who were Cowboy fans who arent anymore because of what Jerry Jones did to Tom Landry. Thinks happen.

[DynastySpurs210]

I like how yew talk!!
um its about time yew wake up, there's been alot fraud from the lakers and the nba!!

First of all, I was one of those Cowboy fans, but in the mid-'90s the terrible tandem of Jerry Jagoff Jones and Sooner Swindler Switzer just made me go off the edge and start despising the Cowboys while I switched to the Denver Broncos.

Now for initiation SteelerNation, to be a Spurs fan: you must name 7 Spurs players from the '96-'97 season who has played 70 or more games that season.

This has a time limit, so good luck. :lol

[ginobilized]

Hey there Steeler Nation. If you are really a Spurs fan now, you might consider changing your team from the lakers to the spurs. That's a start. Welcome!

[Taking it to the Hole]

I wonder what is harder, being a SPURS fan living in LA or being a LAKER fan living in SA? I am willing to believe that Spurs fans have more class than Laker fans, but then again I am biased. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you have seen the light and welcome you on board, but to be a true SPURS fan you have to bleed silver and black thru and thru.

It doesn't matter. It's the name on the front of the jersey that matters(Or the emblem on the helmet) You stick with your teams no matter hwhat.

[mudyez]

welcome...I'm a steelersfan too...they and the spurs are ver similar! (defense, coaches, how they are building their team)

(plz nobody tell him, that we got Jefferson basically for nothing as well or he will root for the warriors or bobcats next!)

as for the question: are there even 7 players? dont want to look it up, but that was the injury bug season (some may use the t-word), so I guess its at least tight.

im the opposite. it's usually more about the back of the jersey for me. the Spurs just happen to have a lot of my favorite players. I'm a lot more of a fan of players and really the league itself than any one team. the Spurs have been my favorite team though since '03 when I saw a David Robinson interview. I found him inspiring and converted.

Uh no.
San Antonio doesn't have an NFL team. The cowboys are the adopted team of San Antonio.
Just because they're in Texas, doesn't mean you have to support them. If anything, the cowboys are the
Lakers of the NFL.
I myself am a Raven fan, mainly because of Ray Lewis.
Oh and I enjoyed every minute of the Ravens shutting down Texas stadium with Cowboy fans having their head down. :lol

I understand a fan liking another team but those are some pretty dumb reasons not to want to support your supposedly favorite team. Who did the Spurs give up to get Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker?

I'm gonna answer and this is gonna make you look silly. The Lakers got proven players for nothing. The Spurs took their shots in the drafts...example: Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Elliott. The Lakers got Shaq, who had already proved his worth. Gasol, who had already proved his worth, ect..

Are you stupid? The Spurs grabbed all their cornerstones in the draft and rolled the dice. It speaks volumes for a FO that can do that. Not offer huge money to the dominant center like Shaq after he has established that he isnt a bust. You moron.

[SteelerNation]

Let me ask this Lakeshow guy, Now I call him out...the Lakers have drafted Kobe, Rush, Cook, Bynum,Sasha,Farmar,Turiaf....so tell me princess, how that is better than the Spurs drafting, Duncan, Robinson, Manu, Parker, Elliott?

it's not a proper time to condemn the Gasol robbery right after the Spurs committed a similar crime on the Bucks for Jefferson. Many other teams had also got tons of expiring contracts and their draft picks are not less preferable than the ones the Spurs held.

[Baseline]

Well here I am. I cant, in good faith, support the Lakers anymore. Just to many things make me sick to my stomach. Like getting Gasol for nothing. Artest for nothing. Lamar on a reduced rate.

Welcome. But seriously, your list of reasons is almost comical. There are far bigger reasons to not be a Laker fan.

You can start with the fact that your top player is a rapist who paid his victim to drop criminal charges.

How anybody can be a Laker fan with that guy still on the team is absolutely beyond me. Have you ever read the police ranscript from Colorado? If not, I recommend that you do.

As you'll find out being a Spurs fan, the rest of the league operates on one plane - the plane of reality where we do our best to work hard and compete, always abiding by the rules and trying not to complain about obvious inequities. On the other hand, the Lakers operate on an entirely separate plane created by David Stern. That's the plane where trades like the Gasol deal are allowed to happen, shots like Fisher's 0.4 are allowed to count, and the league itself promotes a rapist to the point where it is a humiliation on any moral scale, regardless of how low that scale is.

[vander]

IMO, anyone who switches their favorite team was never a fan of the former, and will never be a fan of the latter.

[Chillen]

Even if this isn't genuine feelings and a trolling attempt, the real funny thing about it is that it's all true. Lakers have had plenty of fortunate things happen since Kobe started pouting, crying trade me, trade me. I could actually see how someone could see that while earned, wasn't built like the Spurs have done by sticking with their guns. More or less spoon fed, Kobe cried and pouted and got his pudding, Gasol for a bag of peanuts and a 1 championship.

According to your criteria, Drafting unproven players is more preferable or more respectful than obtaining players already known for their skills. You said it speaks volumes for the FO tha have that insight and roll the dice. Sooo by your own criteria the Lakers FO has done a better job drafting.

On last years championship the Lakers had 3 starters they drafted. 2 were 17 when drafted and never played a game in the NBA or college. The other had a mediocre college career at Arkansas. You act like Robinson and Duncan were relative unknowns. They were standouts with proven college careers!!! The Spurs didnt tank that season to obtain a roll of the dice. Manu? He was well known in international play.

Your reasoning for jumping ships doesn't float... But on a good note... It's nice to be rid of another imposter from the Laker fold.

[SteelerNation]

Once again, you kids like Cobbler, Vander, Zosa,...I bet not one of you are over the age of 25. How about this? I know more about the Spurs than you do and can prove to be a bigger and better fan than you? So dont be punks and act like you can judge me at your little teenage years. I'm a Spurs fan now and if you got a problem with it, lets see who knows more about San Antonio.

But then you have guys like this that fly off the cuff and dont know their ass from a hole in the ground. I cant wait for the season to start so I can talk sports as a Spurs fan with legit Spurs fans and not teenage kids who dont know any better. Hater, ray ray, Pucho, Spursfan092120, Spurcharger, Spursmania, Interrohater, galvatron 3000, duncan 228, and the list goes on...if I forgot anyone i apologize.

lol. Once again I say this to you and its the last time...and stop looking like an immature punk. I am now a Spurs fan and hopped off the defending champs to be one. So tell me again how I am a bandwagoner? Usually bandwagoners stay on the team thats on top. Also I was born in Pittsburgh and thats why i'm a Steeler fan, kid....really, do your parents know you're on the computer? I like a lot of the Spurs fans here and look forward to rooting for the Spurs with ya'll throughout the season...but some of these kids like this guy are funny shit.

:lol Make me look silly? Nothing you can say to make anybody look as stupid as you look right now. I really didn't gaf why or how those players ended on the spurs. I just couldn't understand your reasoning.

It's called Free Agency, dipshit. All teams do it. Where the fuck have you been? Why pick the spurs? They also benefited from FA (Finley, Horry) just to name a couple.

You're nothing but a troll/whore searching for attention. Good job, idiot! Now please get your punk ass team changed. Posters like you are disgrace to the purple and gold.

[LakeShow]

Let me ask this Lakeshow guy, Now I call him out...the Lakers have drafted Kobe, Rush, Cook, Bynum,Sasha,Farmar,Turiaf....so tell me princess, how that is better than the Spurs drafting, Duncan, Robinson, Manu, Parker, Elliott?

Duncan and Rob were #1 picks, you have to be the worst team in the league to get those or you would have got the worst team in the leagues draft picks. In the spurs case, they were the worst, idb. The Lakers since the 80's were never the worst team in the league and that means that their draft picks were never high picks. It easy to get good players in the draft if you draft high, dumbass.

I know more about the Spurs than you do and can prove to be a bigger and better fan than you? So dont be punks and act like you can judge me at your little teenage years. I'm a Spurs fan now and if you got a problem with it, lets see who knows more about San Antonio.

So i post showing how your drafting logic is completely baseless and your only reply is to call me a kid and say because im under 25 I couldnt know basketball? BRILLIANT!!!!

Well, just as your logic to jump ship was completely wrong, so is your assement on age. I am 52, been a Laker fan longer than you no doubt and have more basketball experience actually playing than you do "watching". What a dufus you look like announcing your jumping off the Laker bandwagon and on to the Spurs.

Oh, BTW... you are wrong there as well. Laker fans want no part of douche bags like you. You make us look bad.

[ohmwrecker]

Being a Lakers fan used to be cool . . . in the 80's. Being a Lakers fan these days is the equivalent of being a Yankees fan. The Lakers are the team for casual fans, bandwagoneers and sheep who are coralled by ESPN and the talking head sports media.

I'm not saying there are not legit Lakers fans out there, but if don't know who Norm Nixon is, you aren't a Lakers fan.

[z0sa]

Duncan and Rob were #1 picks, you have to be the worst team in the league to get those or you would have got the worst team in the leagues draft picks. In the spurs case, they were the worst, idb. The Lakers since the 80's were never the worst team in the league and that means that their draft picks were never high picks. It easy to get good players in the draft if you draft high, dumbass.

timmy and drob were #1's ten years apart.

What would you call parker and manu? "high" picks? Manu almost went undrafted judging by when he was picked (57). Parker was 27.

How is that drafting high?

I would call that a good job.

Listen, I'm not trying to diminish the spurs accomplishments at all. I don't know your history nor do I care to know. I'm speaking in general.

I'm just responding to the idiot who used the moronic reasoning to change teams.

[WARRIOR86]

Well here I am. I cant, in good faith, support the Lakers anymore. Just to many things make me sick to my stomach. Like getting Gasol for nothing. Artest for nothing. Lamar on a reduced rate. Fisher released from the jazz and the Lakers get him for nothing. I just dont like it. I support teams that earn it. Hence my screenname. The Steelers have always played blue collar ball and built through the draft. They have never went out and bought their teams. I live in San Antonio and am ready to support the silver and black.

Welcome dude and all I can say is that you did the right thing. The Spurs have been nothing but a class act since thier inception.:toast

So know he's moronic because he changed sides. Typical laker fan thinking. When the lakers win a title thier unbeatable the next year but if any other team does it there's questions about thier return to the title. Get over it laker dude's. You can be beaten and it has been proven and it will be proven this coming year and that's a fact. GO SPURS GO.:lobt2:

ok

[lennyalderette]

wohooo i got a shit load of family in L.a a few of them couldnt hate the spurs if they tried, so i see where your coming from, its alot more rewarding being a spurs fan. welcome home!!

[WARRIOR86]

i'd rather be a fencepost in texas than a lakers fan anywhere

Nice! I agree.

Is't it so cool to stand there all proud with your lifes dreams fullfilled! :lmao

[SpursWench21]

I agree with the previous posters, actively defend the Spurs this next season and prove your loyalty... and if you all of sudden renounce your new allegiance to the Spurs, just remember that you will surely have a shitstorm in the form of comments from all sides fly your way so....type wisely (just a tip from a casual yet devoted observer of ST)

For now... Welcome!:toast Personally, ive never seen someone convert to another team in this respect, so this is all kind of interesting to me. Anyway, nice to see another fan rooting for the silver and black....I hope you stay true to your words

Viva Tim Duncan..Viva the Spurs family! New season here we come!!:flag:

[ohmwrecker]

Nixon is just a flash in the pan. Our history is much richer than a guy that got dumped on our JV squad.

You're not really getting the point . . . OK, how about George Mikan?

[sabar]

Guess the people accepting him don't remember the 80 trolling posts he had prior to his conversion. It's cool though, some can see the light :hat

[BUMP]

once you changed teams once, who's to say you wont do it again

the only solution?

kill yourself

[holcs50]

Thats the most retarded question ive ever heard. SA people when ive been there are chill and if your walking thru with a lakers jersey i dont think you'd get laid out. Now im not talking about LA because never lived there but say Orange county if I walked thru with a spurs jersey in newport -which ive done- its not good, cuz all these drunk stuck up faggets with tattoos, roided up and think they are hard and want to fight. Seriously my friends were like take that shit off, im like hell no son. ha. My best friend really didnt want to go out with me wearing a jersey cuz he thought we get rocked one night even tho he was wearing a west jersey---people are dumb here, and drunk. Its a damn sport have fun with it or move on kids. Ive been approached many time for wearing my gino jersey out and got punches thrown because meatheads cant differentiate from sports to life. And ill still wear it id care. Even in diego now i wear spurs shorts to the gym, and bandwagoners are like "spurs" im like "ya". ha, just funny, i hope sa people dont do that

[spursncowboys]

Good to see you got out of the dark side, SteelerNation. The way I see it if you choose the Spurs when all the hype is to LA or Clev, then I doubt you are the typical bandwagon rider. I remember the years before we got Duncan and the three years the Lakers stole championships from SA and Sac how all the fake fans found ways to get off the bus. Good for you though...Now you need to get with America's team -Cowboys and you'll be fine!!

[ohmwrecker]

What is this bullshit with having to like the Cowboys if you are a Spurs fan? I've read that here several times. I don't like Dallas period. I haven't liked the Cowboys since the Landry era. The Oilers moved to Nashville. I am a Saints fan. Spurs and Saints!

[SteelerNation]

I appreciate all the Spurs fans who are welcoming me aboard. I wont disappoint. We're gonna have a great run this season and for many more afterward. And its no wonder I changed teams. How can I continue to support a team with a bunch of classless douche bags like the Laker fans you see before you in this thread? I cant believe I stood along these gutless wonders for so long. How stupid was I?

Ever heard of the draft lottery, genius? You don't have to be the worst team to get the top pick.

Ever heard of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili?

Remember the 90s, when the Lakers sucked big fat donkey balls? Or the post-Shaq-pre-Gasol years, when Kobe was a bitch-made ex-rapist who couldn't lead his team anywhere and publicly lobbied to ship himself, or his teammates, out of town? I do.

[SteelerNation]

nobody cares

Is there still an NBA team in Dallas? And if so, why? Spurs and Rockets are the only teams in Texas that can win championships in the NBA. The Mavericks are like the Texas Rangers of baseball....whoops, sorry.

[lennyalderette]

haha

[BoricuaCJA]

It's cool that you switched sides but really I don't trust you. All it seems like you doing is that you are gonna be here until we start playing bad and go bandwagon someone else. Your not really a TRUE fan of t team. You just like good teams but welcome anyways for however short or long the stay will be.

:lol bandwagoner

[MaNuMaNiAc]

To all you motherfuckers claiming rights to Spurs fandom: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

Nobody in this fucking place has any say on who can or cannot be a Spurs fan, so quit acting like douchebags and again SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Welcome to Spurs fandom SteelerNation :tu Glad you finally saw the light.
