Yeah, I used to root for Michael too. But I think everybody rooted for Michael in some capacity.

But North Carolina is the only college I root for outside of Texas in any sport. It is North Carolina and Texas for basketball and every other sport it is Texas all the way.
Remember all that whole section of people that were booing us from above :lmao That was a fun day even though the Spurs lost :(Quote:

It's gonna be funny to see what happens to this forum when/if the Spurs have to rebuild after the Duncan era. If there's a drought of losing seasons, I'm guessing at least half of the posters here disappear. But I won't be one of them. I suffered through those dark years in the mid-to-late 80's and stuck with them. Jumping on the bandwagon of another team was never an option.
This thread is cool, reminiscing old times with their present and former favorite sports and players. As for me and as far as I could remember I started liking basketball back in 1986. That time I like the Detroit Pistons, Lakers, and the Chicago Bulls. My favorite players were Bill Laimbeer(spelling?) Magic Johnson, James Worthy and the most recent-before finally committing to MANU and the SPURS- was Toni Kukoc. So, I just hope that Manu will stay with the Spurs until he retires or else another story of a next team is yet to tell and the rest is history. :dramaquee :dizzy I don't even want to think about it. :nope :nope :nope :nope I rather :bang :bang :bang :bang

I bandwagoned the Baltimore Ravens the year they won the Superbowl...because I liked their intensity. I bandwagoned the Showtime Lakers during the Spurs last down era...they weren't my favorite teams, they were just the teams I rooted for to win since my team wasn't going be winning anything.
If the Spurs go 21-61...I probably won't be following them near as closely. Because that will suck. Losing sucks. Bad teams suck.
30 years as a Texas Ranger fan has taught me this...ironically enough, I've never followed another baseball team, not for one instant.
Plus if there are great players I liked a whole lot, once they retire it's kind of melancholy watching the team try and replace them. Not a fun feeling.
It was full 2 years before I could really get into the Cowboys again after Emmitt retired.
The Spurs are on a near 20 years streak of being title contenders in one form or another though...I won't say I've followed them closely every year of that time...but most of the time I have, more than any other team in any other sport, longer than any other team in any other sport, and ironically enough basketball is probably my third favorite sport after football and baseball
It's not just that the Spurs have won most of that time...it's that David Robinson is my all time favorite pro athlete...in a landslide. No one else even comes close.
First thing I am going to want to do when the Spurs run is over is catch my breath. I'll be taking a break from basketball for a while...
All you guys that will live and die with lottery/bad teams...
I give you props...you're better fans than I am...you're also masochistic.

I think E20 may be the one person out there who sucks more at forums than I do.

I'm not gonna claim I was a hardcore Spurs fan during this time. But I did watch Spurs games because I was a fan of Alvin Robertson. I was hanging on the hope he would turn things around for the Spurs.Quote:
