Well, at least the Spurs managed to keep Brent's dad, the A-Train, and Micheal Ray (undoubtedly with his Jewish lawyer) on their side.

[dg7md]

Who are these people?

[ORION]

steve kerr :pctoss

[samikeyp]

Ok...just because you are a former NBA player does not make you a legend.

I get Gilmore, Thompson, BJones, Rick Barry, and Spencer Haywood and maybe Steve Kerr.....but that's it.

[Kori Ellis]

steve kerr :pctoss
He owns part of the Suns - did you expect he wouldn't back them? :lol

[samikeyp]

Its ok...Artis has our back! Way to be, A-Train!

[ORION]

He owns part of the Suns - did you expect he wouldn't back them? :lol

Or coach.


Or talk show host!

:lol

:lol

CJ Kupec? What.....Chuck Nevitt wasn't available?

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Somewhere, Lloyd Daniels is crying that he was not selected for this survey.

[samikeyp]

Well....even the NBA Legends have to draw the line somewhere!

i like that nba cares commercial where it lists jerome williams aka the junk yard dog as a NBA legend :lol

I just saw that the other day and thought the same thing. I am glad he is helping out but a "legend"? What is wrong with "former NBA player"?

I like the nba cares commercial with Rodman

[ShoogarBear]

If we want to talk legends, who is Bad News Barnes picking?

Dirk just claimed the title "former NBA Player" when he retires

[samikeyp]

Ahh...now it makes sense. :toast

he picked silblack to ride midge

[Suns>Spurs]

Spurs fans crying about the legends. :cry :cry

[Aud21946]

Easy Reason why those ( LEGENDS) Former players picked the Suns .. It's the Style of Play PHX plays.. Most of those Former players played in the 80's where games used to be 130 - 127 every night!

[dg7md]

Spurs fans crying about the legends. :cry :cry

You should cry about your soon to be loss tonight.

The NBA is slowly turning back to that style with all of the superstars they have now to market.

111-106.

[ducks]

vegs had them losing game one two by 4 points

[Durruti]

Was this before game 1? I'm shocked so many picked the suns. Seems more like wishful thinking from old-timers who long for the fast break. Most Suns fans (like myself) aren't nearly so optimistic. Oh well all the ESPN "experts" picked the Spurs so you shouldn't feel too sleighted.

Alot will depend on what happens tonight. If the Suns can even it up and overcome their phobia of the Spurs it's anyone's series.

Good luck and hope Finley is ok.

[J.T.]

And somewhere millions of people are crying because they lost money betting on Dallas over GS.

[Ya Vez]

in the end the game is played on the court.. anything could happen, like a bloody nose.

message to phx and the espn homers.. spurs are not the lakers... repeat .. the spurs are not the lakers....

[RonMexico]

He owns part of the Suns - did you expect he wouldn't back them? :lol

He hasn't always - he didn't pick them in 2005 and he predicted the Spurs would take the Suns in 06 if they got past Dallas.

little respect for the Spurs in the NBA:

1999-asterisk*
2003-David's bad back, the Lakers were the favorites(for 4 peat).
2005-Duncan can't win a title without Robinson

what else is new? :p:

[BigBeezie]

And just because you were a great player doesnt make you the best analyst either (Magic Johnson).

Yeah, Tragic Johnson needs to keep busy with his Starbucks franchises.

[bdictjames]

And technically Rick's opinion doesnt count as reliable..

[Aud21946]

I am surprised nobody saw How I put ( LEGENDS ) in Parenthesis.... I wouldn't count half that list as LEGENDS! But after reading USA Today and Commish Stern defend the fact the NBA doesn't re - seed .. I still think this series is a toss - up.

[Mr. Peabody]

I only referred to them as Legends because that's how NBA.com characterized them, hence the quotes.
