I know he didn’t play well this season but thanks Michael Finley for those 3 years.

He took less money doesn’t care if he was starting or coming off the bench.

Had a great series against Dallas in 06, won his 1st ring in 07.

We always read reports about how mad he’s when he not plays well and how hard he works to get better.

Age catch him this season and I don’t think he’ll be back to San Antonio but thanks for those 3 years.

Im glad Findog got his ring with us. It was something he deserved and last year he earned it the hard way.

Good job Fin.

He gave 13 tonight, he just had nothing left.

Alot like the rest of the team.


Thanks for the ring last year Fin, good luck in retirement.

classy thread. We need to seed another like this one for Horry, not the one dissing him. Those vets helped the spurs win 2 tiltles

Fin may have taken less to play with SA but he got his ring and $20+M of Mark Cuban's money to boot.

Time waits for no man (and no franchise). Good luck Fin and thanks for the last two years.

Glad he got his ring but I for one will be very glad when Pop no longer looks down the bench to call Finley's number. The Spurs need to clean Finley's locker out for some youth and athleticism.

But I appreciate the sentiment. And Finley did what he was he could while he was here.

Thanks Finley! He played well tonight. At times I hoped Pop would sit and rest Ginobili and go with Fin and Barry. Thanks for everything and good luck!

Don't retire just yet. We can give you that last partial guarantee in the sign and trade first.

I will always support the former UW Badger Michael Finley.

Thanks for everything!

Concordo Grande, precisamos de um time mais jovem. Vamos ver se o corno do Splitter toma juizo e vem pro Spurs

Classy thread for a classy guy.

Thanks for coming to SA and helping the Spurs for 3 years. I'm glad you won your championship with this team.

Good luck in retirement.

Loved him even when he was a Mav, even more when he was a Spur.

There goes our free throws.

Good luck Findog.

I really hated you this year, Mike. That said, thank you for all the memories, and I'm very glad you got your well deserved ring before retirement.

Ah, Michael Finley, one of my favorite players ever. I liked him when he was with the Mavs, but loved him even more when he was a Spur. Knowing our front office, they would probably resign him, but I don't think it will happen.

He did what he could with whatever he had left in him, and he never gave up.

His ring is very, very well-deserved, and I hope everything goes well for him in his future, whether it's in basketball or doing something else in life. Much love to you Mike.
