View Full Version : What summer blockbuster reminded you most of the Spurs?

Sorry if this has been posted but an excerpt from Yahoo article.

Erler: Guardians of the Galaxy. It was a lot better than expected, it involved a lot of mismatched parts, they were all from distant lands and in the end they prevailed because they worked as a team. I'd love to see Pop conduct every sideline interview next season by answering "I am Pop," to every question.

Young: Boyhood. Richard Linklater's new movie doesn't remind me of the Spurs players, but of the Spurs being a part of my childhood. A lot of people's childhood for that matter. It's filmed over 12 years and shows glimpses into a boy's life. A lot of the memories are small ones. If you made my childhood into a movie, a few of those scenes would be Spurs related. Their longevity has stretched most of my childhood and more. If that's not an acceptable answer than I'll say Boyhood again because it reminded me of Tony Parker (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3527/) and watching him grow up. The Lakers would be Hercules. A flop.
Gomez: Guardians of the Galaxy, of course. A group of unlikely heroes everyone discounts because there are other more famous personalities in that universe but who succeed in the end? That's the Spurs and the NBA. (And yes, Tiago would be Gamora).
Passos: Surely there's an Expendables joke in here -- where are our Photoshop whizzes when you need them?
Wilco: The Grand Budapest Hotel: the celebration of the end of an era while reliving it through a series of bookends so evocative that it feels real even while being farcical. Yeah, Wes Anderson has a lot in common (http://hardwoodparoxysm.com/2014/04/14/buying-in-david-foster-wallace-wes-anderson-and-the-san-antonio-spurs/) with the Spurs.

The Fault In Our Stars because of the emotional journey the Spurs went through to be Champions this year. Just like in that movie there's this overhanging sense of dread that things will turn out badly after fighting through so much already. And the characters in the movie were so likable, just like the Spurs. They never deserved to lose to the forces of evil (the Heat and Cancer).

I don't know about current blockbusters but if the Spurs were Star Wars characters then I would say: Kawhi- Luke Skywalker, unless he doesn't re-sign with the Spurs then Darth Vader, Manu- Han Solo, Pop- Yoda, The Emperor- David Stern, Qui Gon- David Robinson, Obi Won- Timmy, Ayres- Stormtrooper(Ayres can't catch, Trooper can't shoot). That's all I got, someone help me out with the rest of the team.

Guardians Of The Galaxy, no doubt. Kawhi is definitely Groot.

The Unforgiven....Clint Eastwood is the Spurs....Morgan Freeman is 2013...and Gene Hackman is the Heat. Didn't turn out too good for the Heat....

Same plumbing, but very different killer instincts. So no... I don't see the resemblance there.
