[Interrohater]

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

[will_spurs]

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

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 titles...

Only laker fans believe this is legit...

S - staibity
P - passion
U - uniqueness
R - regin
S - superiority

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

What's next, "how is babby formed?"

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.

[pgardn]

Maybe it's Tottenham and not San Antonio

We are not hot.

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."

[gospursgojas]

Dont know if the OP is serious....Do you really not know what a spur is?

[EVAY]

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

I was thinking the same thing.

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 :flag:

[Obstructed_View]

A whole new country full of GNSF. Yay.

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

[Em-City]

we were actually gonna be called the San Antonio Gunslingers.. but the name was changed before we got to play a game.

[TDMVPDPOY]

mods should ban australians from making threads, expecially the bandwagoners who came on board when mills was sign....

[Obstructed_View]

It was changed for an Austrailan tourism commercial in the US, since it was believed that American tourists wouldn't know what the fuck a prawn was. To be fair, Paul Hogan orignally said it, though he was probably not in Australia when he said it.

[rasho8]

Other teams with names that don't match...

Memphis Grizzlies, originally in Vancouver, where they actually have Grizzley Bears.
Utah Jazz, From New Orleans, birthplace of Jazz

why should we get banned for supporting an aussie making it in one of the best teams in the NBA, let alone even making it to the NBA which is rare.. Patty deserves respect, even more so, because his doing it to rep Australia and Aboriginal kids..

So if you don't respect us, then I would seriouslyremove ur flag underneath ur avatar cuz its disgusting how you show no aussie spirit.

[Leetonidas]

I thought TDMVPDPOY was asian?

[Gagnrath]

A spur is a sharp projection from the main. As in a bone or mountain spur. Is the main. The seconadry is a motivational device for large animals typically horses. This is the meaning the team uses. Initially spurs were simply semi sharp projections worn on boots and this is still true in some areas, the projections on fighting birds are also called spurs. The version the team uses have a many pointed wheel called a rowel. Spur can also be used as a verb meaning to use a set of spurs and or to cause something.

[gameFACE]

That ties in to the fact that the original chapparral had a "spur" projection. Also, original owners Angelo Drossos, John Schaefer and Red McCombs suffered from plantar fasciitis - i.e. bone spurs. So did Duncan a few years ago.

It all ties in.
