For those of you that understand lfe is a journey...

Basketball is journey allright.

And on that journey, Manu and Pop made some unspoken agreement to rob TD of his fifth title, and give it to Lebron instead.

TD being held back by scrubs, as per usual.

This is a stupid argument. Yes, if I got hit by a bus (and survived) it would allow me to savor all the days when I'm not hit by buses. But that doesn't change the fact that it would fucking suck to get hit by a bus.

The beauty of Spurs like you said is there is another day, well until the big three retire then there will be a different day to look forward to. If you told me in 99 we would have 4 rings I would have said sold! I would have been happy. You get greedy at times though, you want more and more because you are spoiled as a fan. Spurs have been in alot of big games and something bad like .4 and this is bound to happen, 15 years of playoffs will have it's highs and lows.

Yep the '83 NU team was an all-time great offense but the defense was not nearly as strong, unlike 1995 which is widely regarded as the best college football team ever. My buddy's parents were the "Lincoln (NE) Parents" of QB Turner Gill, and I recall him strolling up the driveway one day. "Show us how to dunk Turner" my friend shouted, and he did what an athlete. The buddy and another friend showed up one day at school wearing Gill/Fryar Sun Bowl jerseys their Freshman season. My recollection is while Fryar dropped a big pass that game, NU still went on to score on that last drive leaning on Rozier's backup after he went out with an injury. Rozier solid? Uh yeah, Heisman winner and second player to top 2000 yards in a season, surpassing Marcus Allen's total at the time (later eclipsed by Barry Sanders). I still have a book with many clippings "Heisman Winner Rozier would like a tit" ("title", pre-Orange Bowl article, last part was folded over) and lots of autographs including Roger Craig. That was back when you could get into the locker room just by saying your brother or cousin was on the team, what a great time!

Lest I be accused of being off topic, heck yeah I'm greedy we all are for more Spurs titles! No amount of rings will ever be enough!
