    Agree of the reasons, PLUS my disdain for wealthy teams buying talents. It’s not their fault that they have the money, but they make other small market be a pasture for great talent waiting to scoop them. That’s why I commend Giannis for re-signing with Bucks and believing with their FO. He can demand trade if in 2 years they haven’t got enough to win a ring. Getting back, I like the Spurs shoving it to these big teams’ faces that you can win championships with diligence, great coaching, scouting, and just doing your homework.
    Honestly, being a fan of the Spurs for a long time has helped me professionally and personally. I'm thankful for the Spurs for teaching me how to deal with co-workers, knowing what good management is and what bad management is, being socially responsible, etc.

    Lol I’ve used the Spurs on my sales pep talks. Not everybody needs to be a great shooter, or great rebounder. But if you can box out or give the guy a great screen, then he can take a great shot or get the rebound. It’s great teamwork man. Of course living in LA with Lakers fans co-workers makes it harder, but they get mostly what I mean

    I'm not always positive.

    You'll see my negative posts around here if you look hard enough.

    I have reached a certain sweet spot in my fandom for the Spurs - realizing my complaining will not change my team's ways + finding peace and joy in hope for the future.

    So why continue to complain when it affects no one but myself?

    Instead of constantly fighting it, you can choose to make peace with it.

    You're not in complete submission when you make peace with it. First, you ask yourself why you like the team in the first place?

    I love the Spurs because 1. they are a classy organization from top to bottom, 2. Players they draft are usually likable and are good ambassadors for the team + city, 3. they're usually the first in doing progressive things (beautiful game, Hammon as a coach, international scouting)

    So when you remember why you're here in the first place, it helps you enjoy your team much more.

    Now, if you don't know why you like this team at all anymore and you have no connections to it whatsoever but still like NBA basketball... maybe it's time to look for another team?
    Fair post but have been a Spurs fan decades and not abandoning them despite how woeful is their leadership right now

    The Spurs have been a well-run organization for a long time. Sure they've made mistakes and have run into some bad luck, but what organization (or even us as human beings) hasn't had to face adversity at some point. Its how we respond to that adversity that makes us better and hopefully we learn from our setbacks and move forward as better people than we were before.
