[lefty]

Thank you Bonner

[Drewlius]

Despite everything Spurs related seeming really blah right now, this is still pretty legit.

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao

[Amarelooms]

Son the Mavs are the top team...have you not been watching dummy?

:elephant

[Leetonidas]

:lmao

lol no one giving a shit about the Lakers in June

[SenorSpur]

I'm sure Cuban and his throng of Mavs-maniacs will be butt-hurt over this one. I'll bet they're probably expecting an automatic #1 ranking by virtue of their recent title.

[Budkin]

At least we won something this year. *sigh*

[Seventyniner]

Regular season championships really do mean something!

Right? Right....? Um, guys?

2011 NBA Champions >>> Being #1 in a BSPN standing list

[Uriel]

Props to the Spurs. I couldn't have been gifted with a better favorite team.

[4>1rings]

Spurs= Class

[Bambililos]

Hey, I thought ESPN hated the Spurs ???

2011 NBA Champions >>> Being #1 in a BSPN standing list

I agree with this ... hopefully your team will not be the first ringless champions!

[hater]

Spurs = Class

2011 NBA Champions >>> Being #1 in a BSPN standing list

How about before 2011?

[peacemaker885]

This would be laughable if it came from some other network or news organization. This is ESPN guys. Many hate them but the reality is they are probably the most powerful sports/news organization now.

Here's a link to an article by Frank DeFord

:lobt2:

[spurs1990]

There's a section on the link that says the Spurs have 750,000 fans on facebook.

That's pretty radical man.

[DrSteffo]

Spurs = Class (but not good enough this season)

[SsKSpurs21]

Here is the link from ESPN...

Top 5

1. Green Bay Packers
2. Tampa Bay Lightning
3. New Orleans Saints
4. Los Angeles Angels
5. San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio Spurs rank 1st in:

Fan Relations (FRL): Openness and consideration toward fans by players, coaches and management.

Players (PLA): Effort on the field and likability off it.

[k_nguyen93]

OKC was 6. I believe this was before Mavs won title though.

[Cessation]

[TimmehC]

lol tampa bay lightning

[Spurtacus]

Spurs are still the winningest team in ALL professional sports since 1997, in terms of regular season record.
