[Booyah30]

I give Duncan His Props, just make sure to give Nash his as well. I think you can admit it is much easier for a 7 ft'er to excel than a guy 6ft.

[Spurminator]

Meh, this is like Fox News doing a web poll on political party preference.

[1SUNSFAN]

HAhahhahahahaha! EAT SPURS FANS! Nobody likes dirty spurs boring ball...

[dnsa]

OH YEAH..

Tell me again how many rings Nash has?

[Booyah30]

Its from espn

[judaspriestess]

nash is definately the best flopper out of those three.

No one is jealous. 92,000 people is not a huge response. :lol

This is the same country that has Amercian Idol as its most popular television show.

[Booyah30]

Pull your heads out. The country doesn't like your team, not because of Duncan, but because of Horry and Bowen

[ChumpDumper]

I give Duncan His Props, just make sure to give Nash his as well. I think you can admit it is much easier for a 7 ft'er to excel than a guy 6ft.Not really.

It's pretty obvious you have some kind of inferiority complex if you have to post this on a spurboard.

Don't be jealous of us.

eat spurs fans?

glad to see that arizona education paying off

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I like Nash a ton, but ask NBA GM's who they'd rather start a franchise with

[ChumpDumper]

Pull your heads out. The country doesn't like your team, not because of Duncan, but because of Horry and BowenAnd we should care because popularity among fans of other teams is the most important thing to which we can hope to aspire.

[Booyah30]

No just want to see what you thought. I can give the Spurs of "THE PAST" props , but when, if, they win it this year, I will give it to them.

[tekdragon]

Wow! That's really cool!

You know what you should do? You should have that printed up on a big banner, and hang it from the rafters in your arena!

[GrandeDavid]

Stephen A. Smith and Scoop Jackson both just said that Tim Duncan is the best player remaining in the playoffs, HANDS DOWN, NO DISCUSSIONS ALLOWED. I've heard many others say that.

The truth is most fans outside of the San Antonio fan base don't know as much about Duncan as his game merits. I'd take Duncan time and again over Nash.

Then again Duncan isn't a pretty white boy like Nash either.

Lame thread. Another fan feeling sorry for himself.

Next useless thread, please!

[ChumpDumper]

No just want to see what you thought.I think we're not jealous.

[Booyah30]

Why support thugs? If they were on another team you would hate them. Danny AINGE, Bill Lambeer for example

[Booyah30]

I said, I do give Duncan his props. He is a phenominal player.

[Booyah30]

OK Shaq, what's your point???

[DDS4]

Tim prefers NBA Finals MVPs anyways.

[GrandeDavid]

nash is definately the best flopper out of those three.

No one is jealous. 92,000 people is not a huge response. :lol

Besides, many are probably fair weather fans and know little about Duncan since Duncan rarely talks to the media. Also, and let's be frank here, MANY vote for Nash because they think he's a handsome white man. I don't say they do it with racist intentions, but I think its intrinsic in their comment. Every woman who voted who is NOT a Spurs fan voted for Nash, for example. And every neutral white male fan probably voted for Nash because he could relate to Nash's game, being that he's not that much taller and thrives without getting up and dunking on people. Lame thread in general, Judaspriestess.

[Booyah30]

Exactly, I don't support Bell when arguements come up about him.

[CosmicCowboy]

:lmao

If the question was "which player below has one or more NBA Championship rings and MVP Finals trophys?" the results would have been dramatically different.

[ChumpDumper]

Exactly, I don't support Bell when arguements come up about him.Why support a team with a thug like that on it?

[duncan228]

Duncan over Nash any day of the week. And I like Nash, I think he's one of the best PG's in the league. But there's no comparison.

Nash has back to back MVP's, so does Duncan.
But Duncan has those three rings. And the MVP's that go with them.

Best player left in the Playoffs? There's only one answer.
Duncan is the best on BOTH sides of the floor. And that's the only way to get it done.

But I smell what your stepping in as far as your reference to the "All-American" image except he's CANADIAN. :lol

So, you resort to "92,000 out of 300,000,000 people, aka the entire country think Nash is better than Duncan" smack.

[clambake]

What pissed me off is that almost every sports reporter, journalist, analyst, commentator, and fan from coast to coast is saying that this series is the worst rigging they have ever seen.

[itzsoweezee]

steve nash, is great. still only the second best point guard in the playoffs though.

[CosmicCowboy]

If I were a casual fan of the NBA with limited knowledge of basketball and not a fan of the Spurs, I might even vote against Duncan in such a poll just to make a petty statement. I'm thinking that by NOT coming off as too friendly in the media, being alarmingly unavailable for national interviews, and having a stoic look about him, I'd peg him for arrogant and condescending. Of course we in San Antonio know that is not the case, but images are powerful as you know.

[SAtoDallas]

Who cares what ESPN thinks.

[clambake]

I'm so tired of this. First they beat up on my boy "W' for being the worst pres. ever, and now they rippin my spurs for tainting the entire NBA season.

[Obstructed_View]

Just further proves to me that everyone that's trying to bypass the rules to give the Suns an unfair advantage are doing so out of a rooting interest rather than an interest in what's right.

[GoSpurs21]

are these the same sheep that voted for that lame ass president and dont take personal responsibility for anything they do?

[SpursWoman]

I like Nash ... but I was in the house for the title clenching games in 2003 & 2005. No fucking way in the world you'll ever convince me that Nash is better. At free throws, maybe (:drunk)... but, he's the same age as Duncan and aside from MVP's (which Duncan also has accomplished), want to compare their resumes?

So no, I'm not jealous.

*shrugs*

[Ballcox]

Hell, I don't have any problem giving Nash his props, he's one of the best PG's I've ever seen play the game.

With that being said, big men-specifically talented big men lead teams to championships, period. So I would take Duncan in a heart beat over Nash without even giving it much consideration. :fro

[dg7md]

Give me Kidd over Nash.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

it says best player in the playoffs, but Nash wont be around too much longer. im sure Spurs fans dont care too much about this poll.

trust me, when you hang around here long enough you know that the three rings is all that matters :lol

[ChumpDumper]

This just in: white people nationwide like white basketball players.

tell that to shawn bradley :lol :lol :lol

[peskypesky]

Since when did sports become a popularity contest? F that. Give me another Spurs Championships and let Steve Nash & the whiny Suns go compete on "American Idol".

I could give a f-ck what the rest of this country thinks.

This is the same country that has Amercian Idol as its most popular television show.

Hey, whatever turns you on, man.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

By the way the correct answer is "Jason Kidd" in my estimation.

Yes, I am a Spurs fan.

But have you seen how J-Kidd is playing? He is at historic levels.

[ATXSPUR]

Oh no!!! I am completely destroyed now that I saw this!!! Our season is going down the drain!!!!!!!

[GrandeDavid]

I repeat, Stephen A. Smith and Scoop Jackson have been all in support of Phoenix during the suspension fiasco, but they both adamantly agreed that Tim Duncan is BY AND FAR the best player still in the playoffs. When they debated the best coach, they both agreed that Gregg Popovich is the best coach in the L, although Smith said and argument could be made for Jerry Sloan.

Again, that was Stephen A. Smith and Scoop Jackson saying that Duncan is the greatest player BY FAR still in the playoffs, and that includes Nash, and that Popovich is the best coach in the League.

And those are two East Coast big mouths, especially Smith. So chew on that Suns fans who live for other people's opinions instead of their own.

lol.. thats too funny... popularity poll.... I'll take a 2 time MVP, 3 time Finals MVP and 9 time first team player over Nash anytime...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Pull your heads out. The country doesn't like your team, not because of Duncan, but because of Horry and Bowen

That's what you guys are trying to show to the country before the series is over.

We don't feel jealous. I don't think so.

[Extra Stout]

It's going to be a heck of a night in November when the Suns unveil the banners for their 2007 ESPN NBA Analyst Sympathy and 2007 ESPN NBA Fan Poll championships.

[Johnny RIngo]

What the fuck is Nash doing above the other 3? Jason Kidd's easily the better pg and Duncan's a 2-time MVP, 3-time Finals MVP, All NBA, All-Defensive, etc.

Nash and his team are a gimmick. Whiners and floppers don't win 'ships.

this is real cute. u should frame that and put it on ur wall cause thats all the suns are gonna accomplish this postseason!

[dbreiden83080]

LOL yeah goes to who you just how uneducated people are out there that vote in these polls. How is a guy that can't play a lick of defense better than Tim Duncan? When Nash is on offense he controls so much and is great but on the other end of the floor he is totally useless. Look at Timmy last night. They double teamed him every time he touched it in the 2nd half. However not only did he get his guys open shots but he rebounded great and played amazing D all night. Tim is so much better than Nash it is a joke.

[Extra Stout]

"Best" in this context may not necessarily mean best in terms of basketball skill.

Nash is certainly the most entertaining and sympathetic superstar left in the playoffs.

[BlackFlagg]

Pull your heads out. The country doesn't like your team, not because of Duncan, but because of Horry and Bowen

And guess what -- we don't give a shit. :lol :lol We're 3 times champions; we don't have to.

[debKISS10]

Too bad those fans couldn't help Nash hit the 3 last nite. BOO YAH KA SHA!!!!1 :elephant :smokin

lol.. thats too funny... popularity poll.... I'll take a 2 time MVP, 3 time Finals MVP and 9 time first team player over Nash anytime...

I don't get that from Non-Spurs fans. Tim Duncan has always come off very humble and quiet to players. Just non-flashy, never snobbish or condescending.
Though I do agree, some vote non-Duncan, just to go away from him for whatever reasons. Whether him always being here. But I don't think media or Image played a part, because I would have thought Lebron would get voted more if it was a national influence of sorts. Based on image alone.
I think Nash is just very likeable in an underdog manner, and Duncan gets overlooked because he's "boring" or it's just expected of him. Basketball fans are so used to Duncan being the best by now.

wow an online voluntary poll of middle class white kids, if Nash didn't win this i'd be shocked. It's good to see Texas in Blue on any map.

[Displaced Spurs Fan]

No just want to see what you thought. I can give the Spurs of "THE PAST" props , but when, if, they win it this year, I will give it to them.


Bullshit. You are just stirring the pot. A feeble attempt at a "In your face". The Spurs fanbase has too much to be proud of to worry about small stuff like that.

Yes, Steve Nash is very good.

[cly2tw]

Were it not for the late series of cheapshots that transpired on the court, I honestly don't think the vote would have been so one-sided in Nash's favor.

[travis2]

:lmao

So, you resort to "92,000 out of 300,000,000 people, aka the entire country think Nash is better than Duncan" smack.

no, actually he went with the "41,678 out of 300,000,000 people, aka the entire country think Nash is better than Duncan" smack.
