Happy belated birthday, SpursTalk!
Kori...thanks for the roof over our heads for the last 5 years. You're the best.
(oh yeah...thanks to LJ too...)
With less than a month to go before the San Antonio Spurs head into the 2008 NBA Playoffs, it’s time to reflect back and also look forward. Over the course of the last five years, this forum has seen its share of history.
As a group, we’ve been able to chronicle the happenings of every aspect of the Spurs on a 24/7/365 basis. Whether it was an emotional midseason trade, a summer league game or a championship celebration, if it involved the Spurs, our SpursTalk.com community was involved. Although I may be a little bit biased, I truthfully think that SpursTalk.com has been the world’s best source for Spurs information and discussion over the last five years.
While LJ and I may get recognition, I believe it is unwarranted. The true power behind SpursTalk.com is you. You – whether you are an avid poster or just an occasional lurker – are what makes this community what it is today. Sometimes I may be irritated by a post here or a remark there, but overall this community is simply awesome. From the Basketball News Forum to the Political Forum to the Troll Forum, everyday brings new reasons to laugh, to reasons to think and new reasons to argue.
I'd like to especially thank all of those who have been with us from the beginning. There are too many people to begin naming but know that everything you do and have done is appreciated. In an odd way, SpursTalk.com has become a family. It sounds crazy and it can't be explained, however if you stick around long enough you will eventually feel the same.
Perhaps it's because we've gone through incredible highs and incredible lows together throughout the years. We've witnessed the 2003 championship together. We survived the .4 tragedy. We celebrated championship number three in 2005. We held our chins up after losing in 2006. Last season, we watched the Spurs win their fourth championship.
Now here we are. 2008. This team has four championships. Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich could retire tomorrow and they’d be hailed as all-time greats. San Antonio will always remember and cherish their four NBA les.
But I’m not satisfied. As Spurs fans, we shouldn’t be satisfied. There is more winning to be had. Championship number five is out there to be won and I believe that this group can get it done. Will it be easy? No. In fact, this may be the most difficult road the Spurs have ever traversed. Will it be worth it? yes.
It’s time for all Spurs fans to unite as one and help their team get this done. Whether you are a season ticket holder who needs to yell just a little bit louder. Do what you gotta do. Whether you are an international fan who needs to stay up further into the night to follow the game updates over the internet by refreshing the boxscore. Do what you gotta do. Whether you are a fan who religiously sits by your radio while making sure all your game day supers ions are situated perfectly. Do what you gotta do. We need all Spurs fans, young and old, Argentinean and French, old schoolers and new schoolers, to unite to help the Spurs get number five.
Five will happen in 2008. The Spurs will get it done riding the backs of the chosen five: Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Bruce Bowen and Gregg Popovich. In less than a month, these five men will take a look at what appears to be an unscalable mountain. They’ll begin their journey, and while it won’t always be a smooth trip, when it’s all said and done, the chosen five will reach the mountaintop and five will ours.
Happy belated birthday, SpursTalk!

The fact that I'm here at this hour should probably be proof enough of my addiction to this damn place!
Thanks to Kori and LJ for funding the biggest time waster I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of
Happy post #55,555. Hopefully next year there's reason for a similar thread for #66,666.
Best post ever. Seriously.
My favorite ST related moment was the 2003 WCF at Maggie's (RIP) when the Spurs were down 10 to the Mavs and I said "if they get to 12, it's over" Dallas hit a 3 so I thought SA was done. Timvp looks over at me and said "Nahh, they got this" Now I didn't he believed that or was just trying to pump us up but right after that, Steve Kerr started going off and the rest is history.
Kori and LJ have opened their home to us on many occasions, fed us great food and provided us a place to gather and talk all things Spurs. I know I speak for a lot of SpursTalk residents when I say we love it here and we love you two for making it all possible.
Hey Kori! i have not been here a long time compared to many of y'all.. but DEFINITIVELY as you said.. when you stick around enough you sense this board as a family and there are so many different personalities bringing things to the table that makes me think of a successful team... every body has a different role and accepts it and sticks with it... thank you for your words and congrats on all those fives there!
