Pistons have belts, what should Spurs have?

There was a time when NBA championship teams did not have parades. There was a time when NBA championship teams did not have banner ceremonies the following year.

The belts are original because no other NBA championship team did it before. Sure, it's kind of poking fun of the wrestling. But, if you can't see why it's original or creative for basketball players to floss championship belts, then I don't know what to say.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it??? How is wearing championship belts "FIXING" anything? It's just something to have fun with. I can't believe some of you Spurs fans are even making a deal out of it.

That is the difference between SA and Detriot, we don't have to be a show off to anyone or show off anything.

I suggest clown hats should the Pistons win this year.

Like I said before, I am surprised they didn't decide on "diamond" encrusted goblets.

There's not one person in this thread that said it was a cool idea but all over the league it has been getting a great response. All because the Pistons have it is why the Spurs fans don't like it. They could of rolled up in Corvettes and the S/A fans would have said that was dumb...

I don't really see the big deal about the Pistons having belts....as I have said many times in this forum (even though the Pistons fans in this thread are choosing to ignore it) Its their choice. They won the title and wanted to do something different. So they wore them from the bus into the hotel...who cares? If they had wore them into the SBC...that would be one thing. It wouldn't be my choice of expression but its theirs and as the champs they have that right as long as they keep it in the bounds of good taste as so far, they have.

"Pleasantville" smack.

We'll keep our teenage pregnancy rates and overweight citizens. That just means we like our food and our sex.

You keep your riots, declining economy, cold weather and shitty baseball and football teams.

The Spurs could have gotten the belts and I still would have that it was dumb. So shut your piehole.

It's like that one movie where everything is blk and white until someone shows the town color. San Antonio is THAT town and WE'RE the color..
Don't worry citizens of Texas. We will show you how to live after the series.
You won't be happy with the results, but you will finally have some color. RED-WHITE- BLUE to be exact

---

and the ignorant stereotyping continues....

I think the Spurs should have flowers or ribbons...something like that.

If your team has such a inferiority complex that they need a reminder of their championship around their waist, then more power to them. Did the Spurs go out and get "We're #1" baseball hats made after Phil Jackson questioned the validity of their 99 championship? No.
Personally I think all the belts do is make them look like big blue and white cigars. And the Spurs are about to smoke 'em.

Pop would have pole axed the first Spur dumb enough to bring one of those things out. Spurs actually believe in humility. Pop didn't even want them to call them themselves the champions the following year because he said that was last years' team. Pistons seem to have this insecurity constantly needing validation from without. Not the Spurs style. Fact is as players they simply appear more mature and intelligent. I think the personnas of Duncan vs Rasheed pretty well sums it up.

You know what's sad about all the smack. If I were to pick a group of players I like (not counting the Spurs), it'd be the Pistons.

Rip has been one of my favorite players since college.

'Sheed is so intense when he plays and can hit a jumper. Chauncey went through a lot of downs and worked to make it a big up now (liked him since his days at CU). Tayshaun is just a freak who can play and follows the team concept. Ben has that blue-collar style of play - does all the dirty work without having to have the pub.

The Pistons have players that you love to hate because they're good and not on your team but would probably take in a second (with the exception of 'Sheed for a lot of people).

Too bad people can't talk about basketball.

:lmao :lmao Cool idea? :lmao

If you think it's a cool idea, you a damn nerd who should be watching WWF

The truth is the Pistons did it to clown around, same reason I started this thread. It's you who should relax, the big D has you all uptight.

If the Spurs win will the belt change hands? I think that would be pretty cool :lol

Also, if the Spurs were to win would Malik get a ring?
