Hey, hope we beat Toronto tonight, bro. Gotta start playing "7 Nation Army". :lol

If ESPN says you're a Spurs fan, you're probably not. That's how accurate they are.

The quiz is automatically biased because the participant tries to match what they think their team would represent instead of what they themselves would actually want.


You're not a Spurs fan because of how they do business. Your geographical location shouldn't be ignored. It's like how odd it is that most Houston Rockets fans are actually living in Houston.

Besides, where's this option: You prefer an organization that allows the weakest link to run the show most of the time, because that link earned it by suffering through traumatic verbal abuse from your owner for years.

Heat :lol

smh ESPN Spurs Folk Hero: Matt Bonner

I was called a Heat fan but seeing how some over at ESPN seem to devalue most things Spurs, I am not sure if what they think a Spur is, is what a Spur truly is. Then again I respect the Heat, liked the Showtime Lakers as long as they didn't say I was a Laker or much worse a Rocket.

Basically this. I tried not reading the descriptions before taking the quiz, then got all worried about answering in a biased way. Then I retook the quiz and actually tried to be a Spur and got it.

I don't think the thing is to try to get if we're just fans, but rather try to see if we think like them.
However, for people who are not from SA like me, the way the franchise conducts itself is a factor in how much we like it or not.

Who's the weakest link option there?

It's all in fun bro.

Your point about location is well taken, but, hey, there's like a billion Rockets fans in China. :lol For what its worth, I'm a diehard Spurs fan raised in Nevada, educated in Providence, and living in Latvia (for 12 more days). I've never even been to San Antonio.

The quiz is pretty transparent. You can obviously spot the spurs and Lakers answers. I got the rockets which I'm o.k.with.

The issue is how hard you work. There is NO workplace championship, so adopting a spurs like mind set would only lead to misery.

Houston rockets are bad because they took too much risk. But their culture is ok. They've tried to be relevant and have almost succeeded. I'm o.k. With being a rocket

Agree.

Quiz says I'm a Spur, but who cares?

Result: You are a San Antonio Spur!

Holy shit. I lost the quiz.

Result: You are a Los Angeles Laker!

Heat.

Go Heat Go!
I say we have a coup and change the name from SPURSTALK to HEATTALK!

:bobo

I'm a Spur!

The "You're a Houston Rocket" page has a picture of James Harden. Or so I've heard.

Yeah, I don't look to ESPN to tell me about sports. I'm pretty sure I'm not letting them tell me who I am.


"You're a Houston Rocket." Fuck you, ESPN!

Result: You are a Houston Rocket! Can confirm Harden was staring at me on the page.

:lol

I agree. I will say that the Spurs are more global than most, so it's not a given that proximity to SA makes a big point. But too often people want to compare a fan to their teams, like assuming being a Spurs fan makes you smarter and classier.

Well at least I visited once, went by the alamo and the river walk,

I took the test, but the only thing that happened is:

Result: You are a Houston Rocket!

You're inspired by innovation and the chance to develop new ideas.
They're not always popular, but the data speaks!


Bummer :depressed
I didn't like the team but loved the description :lol

It doesn't?

So being a Lebron or Kobe fan doesn't make my friends dumb, mindless and borderline not basketball fans?
