If the Spurs did not exist...

[lilmads]

which team would be your favorite?

For those of you whose favorite team is not the Spurs, assume that that team doesn't exist.


I think right now my favorite would be the Heat or Nets.. not really sure...

[SAGambler]

I certainly enjoy the Phoenix style of play.. Especially when Stoudimire (sp) is playing.. Guess I would have to run with the Suns.....

[angel_luv]

The Spurs- in particular Timmy- are what got me into basketball, so that is hard to answer.

I like the Mavs and they are from here so I would probably root for them.

[Tek_XX]

I wouldn't have a favorite team, probably would have no interest.

[DieMrBond]

Probably Chicago, mostly because of the Michael Jordan factor - if it wasnt for David Robinson, i - like everyone else at my school who already was, would of been a chicago fan.

Thank goodness there is a spurs team tho!

[Kori Ellis]

Clippers

[Darrin]

I'll stay with the spirit of the question and choose the Spurs. I'm not sure how I would respond to Michael Jordan's greatness because I was so influenced early in my life by the Bulls-Pistons rivalry, but the teams I have cheered for when the Pistons haven't been contending - Portland, Sacramento, Charlotte, and Miami - were all teams that made defense a priority(even if it was a chore) and/or passed the ball exceptionally well. Spreading the wealth on deep teams is important to me.

I think the San Antonio Spurs fit that mold. I'm not saying I would stay loyal to them past this era (I might) but their style of play is one I have consistently cheered for.

[Guru of Nothing]

If the Spurs did not exist, I would not give a rat's ass about basketball.

same here, the Spurs are the reason why started playing basketball.

but then they put me off of the team their way. * coughputmeonthebenchthen behindthebenchcough*

[Horry For 3!]

Hmmm don't really know. My favorite team is only the Spurs. I did like the Bulls though because of Jordan and Pippen. So I guess I would go with the Bulls.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i was never a jordan or bulls fan cose i didnt wanna hop on the bandwagon like everyone in the 90s at school. Funny how i took them all to school with TDs post moves.
First team i followed was the knicks 91-94/95 (failed to beat the bulls :() but love the fearsome frontcourt they had, then got pummled by the rockets...
95/6+ followed the spurs after seeing DROB lift up the mvp trophy and saw his muscles thats when i totally followed the empire. The team with drob/rodman/AJ never seen a lineup with healthy musculy-cut players on one team.
Currently now spurs and any teams in our division then the west conference then weak east bastards.

[Tek_XX]

Clippers

Seriously, i mean they're good this year but why??

[exstatic]

Pistons. I was a Bad Boys fan before I moved to SA, so they wouldn't be hard to follow now.

[exstatic]

Seriously, i mean they're good this year but why??
Kori lived in LA for many years.

[JamStone]

I grew up being a Magic Johnson fan and a closet Lakers fan. I moved to L.A. in 2000 right before the first Shaq-Kobe championship, and I liked watching that team then. So, I'd probably like the Lakers, except I probably would have jumped off that team a year later when Shaq got overly obnoxious and Kobe become even more egotistical.

I'm back in Detroit, so now, I probably would start following the Cavaliers because of LeBron James.

[timvp]

The Montreal Expos.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'd be a chicago fan and then get off the bandwagon when MJ retired and follow whoever has the highest winning % in the league

[doldrums]

nets

[Tobias]

Rockets, maybe Pistons.

Probably Portland since I live here. At least they're getting better with the young guys...now they just need to dump Patterson and eventually Randolph.

[hussker]

I would just follow the Big XII. The question is silly indeed, because if there were no Spurs, there would not be this thread or this site that Kori runs so well. Sorry, gotta get a bit philosophical on you!

GSG!!

[Sense]

Mavs or Pistons.

[Kori Ellis]

Seriously, i mean they're good this year but why??

I lived in L.A. for the majority of my life. And I always had half season tickets to Lakers and half season to Clippers (that's when the Clippers were bad) handpicking the games so I could watch as many good teams as possible. And I like Elton Brand a lot ... so why not?

[Buddy Holly]

The Gunslingers or the Alaska Snowdogs.

[Obstructed_View]

The underdog, the class act or the great story.

[Brutalis]

...there would be no point in watching or caring about the NBA.

[baseline bum]

I wouldn't care about basketball. I would be a baseball fan (a NY Mets one at that).

[abelle23]

miami heat because of wade

[Mrs.Tlong]

If the Spurs did not exist...

Tlong would spend more time loving on me & less time responding to threads @ ST.

[SpursWoman]

Whatever my dad & brother were into I'd imagine. Since my dad was from the area, it'd probably be the 76ers or Knicks.

If they fell off the planet today, it'd be the Pistons.




If the Spurs did not exist...

If they didn't exist ever, there's be a lot of awesome friends I'd never have met....and I wouldn't have met User, either. :depressed

[Solid D]

If the Spurs didn't exist, the Mavericks probably would have won the 2003 NBA Title and people would be still be talking about their 1 ring.

[midgetonadonkey]

I'd be a Rockets fan.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I would not know , love or enjoy basketball.
I became a basketball fan because of watchign the Spurs 99/00 season.

[birdy219]

Pistons

[IX_Equilibrium]

Mavs
Rockets -West

Pistons - East

[mookie2001]

i wouldnt have a favorite team


I would root for the bucks and whichever team drafts lamarcus

[polandprzem]

N0ow it would be Detroit - I like their charisma and a way of play, toughness in defens etc.

[mookie2001]

aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....................... ....

If the Spurs did not exist, God would have to invent them.

[SpursWoman]

Or, I'd be like I was watching the Super Bowl last night ... rooting for the team that was behind. Reverse bandwagoner probably. :lol

:lol I do that too.

[Jimcs50]

Houston

[sanman53]

The reason I started liking the Spurs was because of Big Dave in 89-90. It was a choice of either rooting for MJ or Drob. I grew up in WV and WV has no professional sport teams there. The closest pro NBA teams were the Cavs and (then) Charlotte Hornets.

So I would have to say if it wasnt for Drob, Id be a Bulls fan.

[rashofan1]

There is no other team other than the spurs so why even ask that question?????

[SoCalSpursFan]

The Lakers.

Yuck. :rolleyes

[Willinsa]

I'd be a chicago fan and then get off the bandwagon when MJ retired and follow whoever has the highest winning % in the league

A lot of losers here in SA already do that, I remember many years ago at the Alamodome this fat piece of crap had a Bulls jersey and talking about we did this, we won this. Well he had a very unique looking tatoo on his arm, then a few years later this same fatass then had a Lakers jersey again rooting aganist the Spurs.

It was the same guy and when I asked him where his Bulls jersey was he froze, it was a classic moment. I will never forget the tatoo and the 2 jersey guy.

[rr2418]

I was a Chicago Bulls fan before the Spurs had an ABA team. I remember Jerry Sloan and Bob Love(I believe that was his name) running the team. Oh yea, I remember Bob Weis on the Bulls team also. Even then Weis was bald!! I remember seeing the Bulls playing the Lakers on taped delayed. In fact, I am a Bears and Cubs fan also. I guess I felt sorry for those Chicago teams that were never good, so I went for the underdog.But then the Spurs got a team in the ABA, and I was hooked!! So I've been following them since then.
So if the Spurs didn't exist, yeah the Bulls would be my team!!

[E20]

The Chapparals.

All of the people who said they wouldn't care about basketball if their were no Spurs. :depressed :nope

It's for the love of the game people.
