Anyone else thinks Blair might be your favourite Spur?

[Kamnik]

I have been a Spur's fans since Rasho came to San Antonio.

But in all the years I didn't have a clear cut favourite player. I always had 3 or even more players that I liked equally before.

But the style Blair plays with is just how I like to see a player play and I also like to play like that myself. (allthough with 1/10000 of his skill :lol )

I haven't been so excited for the start of the regular season in years!

[Bukefal]

My favorite remains TP, but I can really see how he could be a favorite spur for many fans. He is a great player, we are very lucky that we could get him and we have so high expectations of him. I hope it works out well and that he gets alot of minutes, so that he can show off what we expect of this wonderful player. It's still early to say, but I guess its gonna be good

I agree, the excitement for this season is very very high, we had a wonderful summer!!!

[Bukefal]

double post :wow

[DBMethos]

He is already one of my favorites but he'll never replace the Big 3 (or 4, including Bowen).

[boutons_deux]

Seems like a nice, reasonable, healthy guy, but let's see him in NBA games before he's canonized and HoFed

[silverblackfan]

My all-time favorite is still David. Although, Timmy gets closer every year for being such great, but humble player. After Timmy, its a toss up between Tony and Manu. Hell, it's like picking your favorite kid, you just can't. Each player has something you like about them the most. Timmy for his consistent dominance, Manu for his energy and heart, Tony for his speed and lately, his killer instinct.
Blair needs to play a lot more before moving into the favorite category, but I do admire his skills and hustle. I can see him eventually overtaking Malik in my pantheon of heroes...

[peskypesky]

Blair is my fave right now. I love an underdog. He's like Rocky. No on thought he could do it, since he's 6'6" and has no ACL's, but he's made it to the NBA, and he's playing with a confidence and ferocity that is very exciting. Can't wait for the season to start to see him tearing it up.

[BruceBowenFan]

I'll buy his jersey.

Well, it wouldn't take much to be an upgrade over Rasho.

[SenorSpur]

My mom is also a Spurs fan. Even though she unplugs over the offseason and pays little to no attention to the draft and free agency, I did tell her about the Spurs good fortune in drafting Blair. I predict and fully expect that HE will instantly become her favorite Spur.

[mexpurs21]

I just hope they sell swingman jerseys with Blair 45 and with Hill 3
I would buy them right away, any ideas of why the NBA does not sell costumized swingman jerseys??

[rjv]

manu, tim, tony (for his play only) and then the rest kind of mesh together. and hard to say about the new additions as to where they will fall in line.

[raspsa]

got to love his attitude.. he seems to know what he wants and knows what he can do. What's not to to like with this kid?

[koriwhat]

timmyd hands down!

[Rummpd]

Love all the Spurs and hate anyone wearing purple and gold, green and white, whatever forgettable colors the Suns, Mavs, Denver or other title chasing wannabees wear!

[Riverwalkman]

Before 1999 i was a Charles Barkley fan, ...now Blair is kind of the same type, he's my 2nd favorite Spur next to TD.

I'm definitely pulling for him. He seems like a humble guy and wants nothing more than to prove a point this year. I think Pop sees the light he will get his minutes. :toast

[Ibanezsr]

My favorite Spur of all time was JR Reid

[duncanCOSTARICA]

TIM DUNCAN til his wheels fall off!!

[Em-City]

Well, it wouldn't take much to be an upgrade over Rasho.

:lol :lol :lol

[xtremesteven33]

I dont care if Blair grabs 10 rebounds in 1 minute, Duncan and Bowen will always be my favorite all time Spurs ...

[Holt's Cat]

Anyone else wonder how large Blair's member is?

[NoOptionB]

Not my favorite, but he is the Spur I have been waiting for.

Other than not being 6'10

[bdictjames]

Tim Duncan from day one.

[smrattler]

Anyone else wonder how large Blair's member is?

Uhm, I'm gonna have to say nooooo.....

Nice first post! :tu

Just curious, where did you see him play? Are there streams for preseason games? :wow

[TIMMYD!]

Guess who is mine?

[BlackBellamy]

Who the fuck is Blair? I've never heard a mention of him before. From the quiet ovation he's received on the board, I'd guess that nobody likes him.

[ajballer4]

No doubt...after watching todays game im sold on Blair

[DeJuan_Blair]

Hey, you don't like me now? It's ok. I'll catch you on the rebound!

[TJastal]

I think Blair will easily become the most popular of the spurs newest additions for most fans, especially if he keeps up the late game clutch shooting.

For myself however I'm fairly certain my favorite new spur will be Antonio McDyess, I envision his role basically being Tim Duncan's bodyguard, which is something that TD has been lacking since Five-O.

He's a tough-as-nails, humble, and smart veteran player who will be perfect for the role of watching Duncan's back.

[Nathan Explosion]

Tim will always be my favorite. I love Dave. He's the first Spurs I can remember watching. But Tim made the titles happen, and I remember where I was when I saw the Spurs win each one. None of that was possible without Tim.

When I bought my son his first Spurs jersey, everyone said I should buy Parker or Gino. I made sure I bought Tim and explained to him (when he was about 3 months old) that Tim was the one who made the Spurs go and we wouldn't have the banners without him.

Watching Tim play from Day 1 has been a treat and will always be a treat until the day he retires.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan, D-Rob, Gervin, Parker, Manu, Sean, Bowen, Silas, Horry.

I like Blair but he needs to a whole lot before I put him as one of my faves.

[DMX7]

I was at a preseason game and the Pizza Hut ball boy listed Blair as his favorite player in his profile which was displayed on the jumbotron. That kinda surprised me because we have so many great players and Blair had only played 1 game (preseason no less) with the Spurs and he is already a fan favorite.

[mattyc]

Long way to go before he comes near Robinson, Sean, Tim, Malik Rose, AJ, Bowen, TP or even guys like Steve Kerr etc, but he is certainly leaving an impressive first impression.

[sabar]

The archetypal fan favorite. It's been a while since the fans have had someone new to drool over and hype up.
