Lebron destroys TD...

How the did it get to some idiot talking about nationalism?

Only at Spurstalk

Stupidest. Post. Ever.

Agreed, I think he creams his pants every time he reads this thread. I'm all for sharing your views and opinions, but to try and go philosophical on a basketball forum is gay. And to generalize all spurs fans on this topic is re ed as well. So what spurs fans responded for TD's defense in this thread? Any fan for any player on any team would do the same, not just spurs fans. And then to try and make it seem as if he made some kind of uproar on spurs talk is comedic. Of coarse none of us play for the spurs, so what? Where the does he think the word fan comes from? What I'm getting from his posts is that hes a big pussy who just sits quietly when watching a game. If that's the way he likes to enjoy basketball then so be it. Hes just wasting his time to try and get people to see things his way.

No big deal. Duncan did not even jump to truly constest LeBron's shot.

1 dunk = 2 points.

Timmy = over the hill

The torch has officially been passed to LeBron...

Yep. No excuse for the Mavs not to win the division again.


Oh, wait...

LOL, thanks for proving the dumb, tribalistic caveman aspect of my argument correct. Using the word gay to describe something that contradicts your testosterone driven fantasy is just plain pathetic. Yep, the gay guy who loves sports and is engaged to a beautiful woman. Cograts, dumbass.

I am a pussy for sitting quietly at the games. Another classically moronic argument. Jesus man, when will you learn that to act like this makes you look much more pathetic and insignificant.

Grow a pair and stop referring to everything different as gay and a pussy.

No, you are a pussy for signing onto a message board for sports fans of a team for which you do not root and acting superior while spouting pseudo-intellectual tripe.

I am a pussy for going into a message board and attempting to find a flaw in their reasoning, and prove a point? Why does the fact that I do not root for the Spurs matter? This is absurd.

It doesn't make somebody a pussy to prove a point, and it doesn't make it any more so to do it in a more hostile environment.

Grow up, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

I agree completely...

And I continue not to understand why it is OK for people who find others aligning with teams compulsive are intellectually superior to those who don't, or why they can come in, express views that has been expressed hundreds of times in the past and claim originality.
Or at least tell me why labelling people who don't agree with their own philosophical views are so civilized and uncaveman-like.

Why do you feel you have to find fault with the way someone roots for a team? One of the great things about being a fan is that you can do it in a way that works best for you. The way you root for your team may be different but mine but neither of us is wrong...just different.

[DirkAB]

no I wouldn't but my original point stands...the definition of success can be subjective.

Dunking on someone is NOT destroying someone. Tim Duncan is still alive, well and playing basketball successfully. If he had been destroyed, he would not be.

You could pretty much make anything subjective. One could say that the Heat were the best team in 2005 even though the Spurs won the le.
They won the same amount of games and the Spurs never beat them in the playoffs to prove they were actually better. But that would be gay because the Spurs won the le and deserve to be considered the best, because they have the have the rings to prove it. Just like the Patriots and Lakers have the rings to prove they are the best teams of the decade...............so far.

3 rings>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2 rings Any other way of trying to stake a claim as the best of the decade is homeristic bull .


As far as Duncan getting destroyed............you're a in' nerd. The Spurs killed the Kings in the playoffs last season, but that can't be because they are still alive. How is this possible? Maybe I need to find a dictionary to clear this up, or maybe.............you should just take the stick out of your ass and not take every word so literally.

While I agree that les are the ultimate measure of success, I also think winning has to do with it. The Lakers have 3 les in the decade and the Spurs have two but the Lakers don't make it back to the playoffs and the Spurs continue to contend for a le....I would place the Spurs ahead of them. I think going into '03, the Lakers had the early hold on team o' the decade...I am not convinced anymore given their performance since their last le.

Then again..that is an opinion, not a fact. Until there is an official, set criteria for who is the best...its all subjective. Which makes for good debate.

You are on a message board for sports fans, decrying "tribal allegiances" when people are having discussions about sports. Again, it's a message board for sports fans. Go look up the origin of the word "fan". Since you have a team affiliation listed, look up "hypocrite" while you have the book open.

Why does the fact that I do not root for the Spurs matter? This is absurd.

Right. Your "ignorant nationalism" post may as well have said, "Your team may be better than mine, but here's why I'm better than you." The irony is that you showed what an ignorant ass you are.

It doesn't make somebody a pussy to prove a point, and it doesn't make it any more so to do it in a more hostile environment.

I guess we'll have to wait until you actually make a point and prove it. We'll see if you stick around that long.

Grow up, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Yeah, you wish. I have no emotional real estate available for holier-than-thou pompous asses like you to inhabit, thanks.

You try and make it sound as if the Lakers have continually missed the playoffs, that isn't even close to the case. They have only missed once this decade, and twice in the last 30 years! They didn't really underachieve the year that they missed the playoffs, they traded away one of the most dominant players ever to play game, and their best player was injured a large part of the season, had a new coach that quit halfway through the season, and lots of new players-many of which suffered injuries that season.

Basically, if you weren't a fan of the Spurs I believe you would see how biased it is to claim team of the decade. Ridiculous. I hate the Lakers and I'm able to admit they have been the most successful team so far this decade.

[Obstructed_View]

I hate to agree with DirkAB, but the Spurs need at least one more le to even argue for "team of the decade" IMHO.

[dirk4mvp]

Got damn! A thread about a nice dunk turns into a psychology class.

I was speaking of the rest of the decade as far as the Lakers making the playoffs. I also said that I felt les were the ultimate measuring stick. Just because I disagree with you...doesn't make me biased. I am the first to come down on the Spurs for screwing up and playing like when they do. I understand where you may think its bias and I don't have the right to try and change your mind nor would I try...I can tell you its not, although I know you will not believe me. You have your opinion and I respect that. I have mine as well. We are not going to agree but that's cool too. Doesn't make either of us wrong...just of differing opinions.

Today I was walking down the street and this guy wearing a Mavs shirt walked right past me. Without any notice, my primitive instincts took over. I pulled out my club from under my sabertooth tiger skin loin cloth and I started to chase him while shouting nonsensical grunts. Then I went back to my cave and rewatched the Spurs vs Suns game on DVR.

This thread has helped me understand why my girlfriend, an A&M graduate, and I, a UT graduate, always end up pulling out our clubs on the Friday after Thanksgiving and knocking each other on top of the head. Things like that are bound to happen when you date outside of your tribe.

Have any of you cavemen out there in spurstalk-land ever clubbed a co-worker or somebody you didn't even know because of a t-shirt or maybe a ball cap of a rival team? Ever been sent into a club wielding rage by a, "hey, did you catch that Yankees game last night?"

Well, first I would suggest that you two pe ion to get your money back from your respective colleges. They are supposed to be able to weed behavior such as that our of people before graduation. Very dissapointing, really.

Second, I am sorry that these problems continue to haunt you. I am sure that some therapy...or perhaps shock treatment, could do you some good.

Third, in all seriousness, you are taking my words a littttle too far. I am saying, and I have repeatedly made this clear, that I have a huge problem with people, such as the fans at UTK, who do things such as cuss at opposing players, hate/yell at people who are fans of opposing teams, and have a typically nationalistic outlook on sports.

That is what I have a problem with. Not fans who prefer one team over the other. Not people who watch every Spurs game, and record the ones they miss. I am a huge fan of the Atlanta Braves and the Tennessee Vols football team. This is not what I mean.

Unless you are a caveman, and typically exude the type of emotionally re ed responses to other teams that I am talking about, then you have no need to worry. You can keep your degree and save the University of Texas the hassle.

wtf the dunk is 1 week old forget it already
