C'mon, the question is "who's your favorite Spur", not "who's the best Spur". I think every Spurs fan know how much we owe to Timmy.
Nevertheless, Tony's bigger in my heart as Manu is in most people's here... But Duncan's a close second. You don't explain love: even if Duncan is one of the best ballers ever, Tony will ever be my favorite b-ball player.

#3. Bruce Bowen - The guy has a work ethic that some players could only dream about. He plays hard defense and isn't afraid to push the envelope. Maybe he gets a little dirty sometimes, but all the best defenders do.
#2. Manu Ginobili - He's unpredictable, a little wild, and one of the best. He risks his body every time he sets his feet on the hardwood. He plays a knockout, drag-out, balls-out game that few can match. He's a little streaky at times, but in the cruch, you want him on the floor.
#1. Tim Duncan - Since 1997, he has been the epitome of Spurs basketball. Unassuming, calculated, focused. He doesn't beat his chest, star in music videos, rant about "practice", or yank his jersey to one side to "show he has heart". He goes out there, does his job, and wins titles. He's the #1 reason why San Antonio is the new "Titletown, U.S.A." He doesn't talk trash or disrespect the competition, and doesn't think he's above reproach. He's always looking to improve his skills. He is, without a doubt, the greatest power foward to ever play the game. But he'd never say it. It's just not his way.
the people that picked ginobili would probably vote for john mccain too

So yeah, I think it's pretty fair to say Manu was a FIBA star prior to becoming a Spur and had he entered the draft with such status he'd have been a sure fire lottery pick.Quote:

Yeah well, that was my exact reaction when I read the argument which prompted my reply, which didn't seem to take that well known fact into consideration.Quote:

Manu beating Tim by this much is embarassing, you call yourselves Spurs fans. :ihit
I'm not surprised Manu is more popular. The thread is about favorites, not about the best player on the team or the reason we have 4 titles. Manu has personality and an incredibly gutsy, flashy game. He stands out, I'm not at all surprised that he's the favorite Spur on ST.Quote:

I think the whole team makes each other better. But to say that Manu and Tony are only good because TD is on the team is ridiculous.
Tony has improved every single year on his own. His jump shot improvement has nothing to do with TD. He also has matured and become a smarter player, also on his own.
And when Manu came to the Spurs team in 2002, he was already an accomplished player...who has won numerous accolades. Not to mention, he has an Olympic gold medal and a bunch of MVPs and etc...That's his own development. And he is a proven clutch player.
I think it helps The Big Three to play together because they make each other better and because it takes pressure off of them. Plus, it's good to have three superstars on one team. But give some credit to Tony and Manu. The Spurs are what they are due to four players: Tim/Manu/Tony/Bruce. All four of them.

I am a Spurs fan because of Manu Ginobili.
Tim Duncan for me man. The post moves, the same game every game, and no one still able to stop him. You think he doesn't have much of an impact at the game, look at the statsheet and he has 20 points 10 rebounds, 3 blocks lol.
That guy is the reason Im a Spurs fan. I just watched some basketball, Spurs v. Lakers, and this guy was killing them. I knew the Lakers were popular but I never knew about the Spurs. The next year I rooted for the Spurs all the way while my family was against them lol for some reason, and they won the championship.
Tony Parker is my man, when I was in High School I played Basketball for my school and I always used to copy Tony's game. I have a similar body size to him so it wasn't too hard to learn a few moves from watching him. Tony's the man.
