Will never forget him punking those OKC coaches who always stand up and scream next to whoever is shooting.

I remember that game well and quotes, Horry said he had no clue he wss going to shoot it because his release was so odd, remember that one well. I knew we could beat LA then, it was our year.Quote:

Same game where I owned the whataburger whata shot and owned me that TV damnt :hatQuote:

I'm not talking about his career with other teams.Quote:

No doubt, agreed.Quote:

Game 5 went pretty well, we came somewhat close to blowing a 25+ point lead in that one too, but in game 6 Stephen Jackson and the rest of the shooters made some huge threes in the 4th to keep the Suns at bay and ultimately afford us one more chance to beat the mighty Lakers in the TD/David era with HCA. Which we did.Quote:

He played huge role in getting the spurs over the mental edge the Lakers had against them. I remember that regular season game in which he drilled 8 3's against them was huge for the Spurs psyche. He also brought a toughness in the sense that he was able to wipe the goofy smirks off of Fox,Fisher,Kobe's face. Hell I really do believe part of the reason Fisher and Kobe were crying so hard in that game 6 loss was because Jax's relentless trash talking got to them during the series.
He was one of the few who didn't wet their pants against OKC in the playoffs, but his last year here...wow. He was pretty fuckin awful. At least he has his "rap game" to stave off bankruptcy for a few years.
And :lol at Josh Howard being at his retirement party. Definitely there for the weed.
Agreed... he was truly great in certain moments, but also such a cautionary tale in many ways. He left San Antonio to make more money, helped to ruin a great Indiana team's shot at a title, helped beat a 67 win Dallas team only to get whipped by Utah, got thrown off the Spurs after a 2nd chance... If he was a little more mature and a little less volatile, he might have 4 or 5 rings now, with the same or more money in the bank...Quote:

Loved SJAX. I wanted him to stay in 03/04 but it was impossible with Manu bumped up to starter. Jax was not going to come off the bench and wanted $$$$. But then Manu ended up coming off the bench most of his career here anyway. But even then if Manu came off the bench in '04 you would have had the problem of who plays in crunch time. Instead we got Hedo......
Spurs did need his chutzpah, though.

for us, not for anyone else. Mike Finley isn't a Spurs legend because he was great with the Mavs lol. I don't think he was too special for us IMO. Not a legend. Special player for us that run...legend... Hell noQuote:
