Spurs players who read the forums

[duncan2k5]

Which players do u think read the forums, or even may have an account?

1. Kyle for SURE... He seems like the type...
2. Parker... Definitely when he was younger... He probably lurks on occasion now
3. Definitely Danny Green
4. Rudy Gay... I'd be willing to bet...

[Play Boban]

Kawhi Leonard obviously does because he posts under your username. Nice attempt at deflection, though!

The funny thing is... I'm actually Tim Duncan... But ppl think I'm the other guy in my avatar...

[r0drig0lac]

idk, but Durant probably has some fake account in this forum

[spurraider21]

Kawhi. He’s had nothing better to do all year.

[exstatic]

Could be any of the Kawhi haters.

true

I'm sure pretty much every Spurs player has taken a peek in here a couple times. I laugh at those people who dismiss the idea completely as if players weren't human beings. Just think of this: if you played a good game and you had the chance to see what people said of you, wouldn't you do it? Of course you would, it's human nature.

[Brunodf]

Isn't Chinook confirmed to be Danny Green

:lol No way you can't be Duncan since Duncan is actually intelligent.

Truth.

Wouldn't be surprised to see players having alts in here, either tbh...

[SAGirl]

No one. This forum has had closed registration for years and if you can't post the draw here is less.

I wouldn't say "players" but it's part of community manager-social media manager's job to know what the fans are talking about...

Most marketing-guys evaluate -from multiple online platforms- the market's expectations about some new product...

While we're just posting about our favorite team and players on ST/Tw/FB/IG, there are guys working for players/teams/brands, studying our reactions.

[NASpurs]

Kyle Anderson probably wonders who this “Fathead” guy is.

[hater]

They probably feel the same way Infeel when I read Foxnews comments section :lmao

“Holy shit there are retarded senseless ppl in this country”

[DAF86]

Nah, most couldn't even access the site.

Why wouldn't they be able to access the site? Are they technologically challenged or something?

[Pavlov]

Why wouldn't they be able to access the site? Are they technologically challenged or something?It was a joke about the red screen.

But people here shouldn't delude themselves into thinking players read their posts.

[TimDunkem]

This forum isn't that great. Maybe they did years ago, but they probably surf that cancerous site reddit now.

[SuperCam]

he's the one who wipes Kiwi's ass while YGHWI powders the plums, tbh

Players do it too. These are profesional sportmen, who have more free time than the average working person, and they have to spent most of that time resting as much as possible. Movies, video games and internet is 90% of what they do in their free time. There's no way they don't check sport forums to see what people say about them. I don't know why people have such a hard time accepting this obvious fact and think sportmen are superior human beings that are above basic human emotions such as curiosity, vanity and self ego pumping.

Read above.

[YGWHI]

I'm not denying anything. I'm just saying that in today NBA, they pay guys to do it for them.

[TimDunkem]

They also have plenty of other outlets where they can read opinions whether they want to or not like FB, IG, Twitter, the news media, Reddit, etc.

I doubt ST tops that list nowadays.

[DAF86]

I don't know about that. All I know is that, if that is the case, they check it too. And not for some marketing purpose or anything like that. They do it for themselves, for curiosity, for pleasure.

Spurstalk is the number one Spurs forum on the web, of course Spurs players know about it and have checked it out.

[Pavlov]

Read above.Twitter. Not ST.

[TimDunkem]

Nowadays, I doubt that. Not that I would be surprised if they did once or twice at some point, but regular lurkers? Probably not.

I hope they do. Maybe the criticism could put some pressure to perform on guys like Fatty....Or destroy the fragile confidence of guys like Forbes and get him the fuck off this team.

[DAF86]

Twitter. Not ST.

Twitter, facebook, instagram, Espn, fox, SI, Spurstalk, Reddit and every imaginable shit out there.

[Spurtacular]

4. Rudy Gay... I'd be willing to bet...

That nigga ain't readin' sh** tbh.

Of course not regular lurkers. Who the fuck wants to check a forum when you know you are going to be shredded to pieces? But after every good game you bet your sweet ass they take a peek.

Who doesn't like reading nice things about him? I bet Danny Green gets it hard everytime he sees the nickname LDN.

[DAF86]

Not ST.

Not anymore.

On the rare ocassions where ST displays love, it is a different and maybe even more gratifying kind of love. Sure, the players must love the professional, well written articles about their play. But they also like the "LaSharkus'", "LAtrain", "Long Dick Nigga", "HOTS", "MVParker", "ditka couldn't have stopped Manu", etc, etc, etc.

[daslicer]

Players read message boards. I remember during the late 90's dissing Olden Polynice with several other fans on an AOL NBA message board. Back then the AOL NBA message board as the biggest NBA message board on the internet. I was a teenager during that time and I will never forget Olden Polynice in an interview with NBC talking about how he was tired of people on the AOL message boards dissing him. He stated that it put his kids through a lot of pain and he actually called out several screen names out in in that interview and one of them was my on screen name. I remember being in shock when he mentioned my SN but also laughing at the same time.

[apalisoc_9]

Lol at these losers making thesw NBA players like they are some sort of super humans.

They are insecure fags just like any human beings. I doubt they post but they do read to get a general idea of how they are perceived.

[DAF86]

I guess if you need to believe they are reading.

I don't need to believe anything. I just use my rationale and common sense to understand that players lurking, from time to time, the most popular forum of the team they are playing in is the most likely scenario, tbh.

Maybe they have magical dicks or some shit thus making them inhuman.

But seriously, a few of them lurk for sure.

They dont post though because thats how you get exposed.

Doesn't stop Durant... One of the biggest stars... From having a troll alt

[duncan2k5]

He replies to Twitter trolls... So I think he does read this stuff

[duncan2k5]

That's the beauty of it... No one will think we would be on here... For goodness sake I clearly have a private photo of myself as my avid, and STILL no one believes I'm actually Duncan... But it's fine.... Lol

Not just this site, but all forums in general..Twitter is far better for discussing anything, although it requires more filtering..

[apalisoc_9]

A player in 2011 used to browse spuratalk. Not gonna name names so its obvipusly confirmed.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Kyle Anderson probably wonders who this “Fathead” guy is.

He probably thinks it’s Derrick White tbh.

They all have Twitter on their phones, all Dejounte has to do is check his mentions or search his name and he'll find thousands of takes about him:lol

Why would they even think that there's a message board like this out there? I guess there's a slim chance that Tony logs in here after a bad game(which is every game nowadays) to read a post from SASpurs or GreatYacht to make himself feel better, but even then, I doubt that:lol

Because every team of every sport has one. And why would professional players search for them? For the same reason we fans do it. Twitter sometimes isn't enough to read about the things we care about (in our case, our favourite teams and players; in their case, themselves).

As bad as this forum is, Twitter is a cesspool.

[Stabula]

Browsing forums like this as a professional athlete is very poor mental hygiene.

[Arcadian]

Even if some of them did read forums, they'd go to the more mainstream forums rather than a relatively underground, unmoderated cesspool that flags your web browser* like this one.

*To be fair, this was finally fixed recently. Shoutout to the people hard at work there.

On a similar note, back in the mid-2000s, there was a Wizards message board that had a thread called "The Amazingly Sucky Juan Dixon Thread." Dixon ended up scoring 35 points in a playoff game that season and claimed in his postgame interview that he had used that thread as motivation.

[duncan2k5]

Some players must be watching this and getting a kick out of the speculation on both sides of the argument... I know I am... Lol

[kuato]

None, they are súper rich people with social lifes, not like us.

[duncan2k5]

I think u guys are underestimating the power of how much young 20somethings want to see what the internet is saying about them... Especially with sensitive ppl like LMA and DDR... they almost definitely read the forums... And I think Murray and Lonnie does too (when he plays)

[Play Boban]

Well, we know Kawhitter reads and posts, at least.
