~Spurs Fans.....Why are you a fan of this team?~

[TMSKILZ]

I'm a fan of this team (Spurs) because of the great David Robinson. Even though I never lived outside of NYC, I became a huge of of DROB & following him & then following the arrival of Duncan & Parker & Bowen & Manu & other parts to this Dynasty machine has been a pleasure.

Pop is an excellent coach & I just love these Spurs. I have & we all have been blessed w/ players such as DROB & TD & others.

Thank you S.A. for the Spurs & thank you Jesus for both the Spurs & their many great players on & off the NBA Hardwood Court over the past & current years.

G0 Spurs! NYC luvs ya!

fee fi fo fum.... i smell the blood of a ing troll!!!

[BiZNicK]

i asked a simple question....this is a discussion forum correct?

so discuss mutha a!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry your giant font still failed to catch my interest



this is a stupid topic to discuss, especially since your intention is to just talk , instead of actually wanting to know why we like the Spurs.

[Kamala]

so you'd rather be a fan of a team who complains about EVERY and i mean EVERY call that goes against them, a team who has by far the dirtiest player in the NBA, a team whose idea of defense is flopping all over the floor like a fish outta water...

Thats what you guys want to be a fan of????

The Spurs are doing a public service to the city of Los Angeles by winning all of our rings. Every time your team wins you ing animals loot, riot, and burn . By eliminating your team in the WCF we prevent at least one of your many reasons to riot.

[Gino]

To answer the question, probably because they live in San Antonio.

But Lakers fans are the most band-wagon group of cholos Ive ever encountered.

[underdawg]

I'm a Spurs fan because they are what a professional team should be. They truly are a team that relies on each other instead of trying to "get theirs." Their players don't complain about the coach or management and then demand a trade. They inspire each other to perform above their capabilities. They obey the law and are the "role models" that most parents want their kids to aspire to be. Most of all - they're the underdog. San Antonio is in a small market with probably the lowest net worth of any owner/ownership group in professional sports. Plus, we've been able to hold on to a core of players that have agreed to take less money for the good of the team. They understand that stats are superficial and at the end of the day success is measured by rings. Name another NBA team - no, name another professional team that has that dynamic. As a person that doesn't make millions of dollars a year to play a sport, I can't think of any other team I'd rather root for. By the way, watch any NBA game and you'll see almost every player complain about a call. Timmy gets a bad rap because he usually shows no other emotion than when questioning a call. Unfortunately, that has become a necessity of the game. If you feel comfortable rooting for a team that traded away a dominant player because their "star" player didn't like sharing the limelight, that's your choice. Also, don't dismiss the fact that Kobe was suspected of rape, he wanted to be traded at the beginning of the year and he has more talent than MJ but has less charisma than MJ had in his pinky. Quesiton is - why do you root for the Lakers?

I'm a Spurs fan mostly coz DAVID ROBINSON is my all-time favorite professional athlete. Now Ginobili is my 2nd.

[Axl Van Dam]

Is it because its the only sport is that rep'd by SA?

Why??

Because I just love this damn team despite of all the things being blabbered by the haters

a team who has more wins and more les than any other team in the NBA!!! A team who's been holding it down strong for ten years and counting. i've never seen any of the spurs members cry on the court! but i do recall the time the lakers got eliminated out of the playoffs by the spurs and kobe and fisher were crying on the bench while holding each others hands lol

[Robinzine]

With a team that has no chance to win this series unless a convicted rapist scores 35 points a game maybe the better question is why are you a fan of your team?

Kobe was never convicted, moron, but you conveniently let that slide. It's OK to be bitter, mouse. Your team ALWAYS chokes in the playoffs. Your idiot owner would rather shoot off his big mouth during games than let his coaches coach and players play. Enjoy next season full of mediocrity.

[mouse]

Kobe was never convicted,

Neither was Hitler or your OJ, WTF that does that mean?

moron,

You see! this is where you ed up! You went and said a word only people who still have AOL use. That word is so played out, and shows how new you are to the WWW......... Pssssst!... a heads up! talk to the hand?
it's out of date also.

but you conveniently let that slide.

The only slide you will feel tonight will be the tip of my smack talk bat that I have inserted in your precious young tender Kobe loving ass. Really, by the time your favorite step dad wakes his crusty loser ass out of his air mattress bed to report for Friday's probation? your inbred tender ass you will be trying to change his IP address so his 1998 windows doesn't crash after he gets 401 replies on his mySpace page about how his 16 year old step son got his very chapped ass raped for all the world to see on a Spurs website never the less!.

But if it happens please host it on YouTube.

It's OK to be bitter, mouse. Your team ALWAYS chokes in the playoffs.

I rather choke early now than to have to drink a Spurs milkshake, unlike Laker fans, Mav fans don't swallow!

Your idiot owner would rather shoot off his big mouth during games than let his coaches coach and players play. Enjoy next season full of mediocrity.

When was the last time your team was in the finals? I never said I was in love with Mark Cuban, I picked a team and I stand by them, by the way where was your Hanna Montana ass before Lakers won game one?

[Robinzine]

I rather choke early now than to have to drink a Spurs milkshake, unlike Laker fans, Mav fans don't swallow!

That's because Mav fans would rather take it up the ass. So you'd rather choke early -
You've had good practice at it!

i might not agree with everything you said...but i appreciate you answering my question while others provide childish responses while assuming my sole purpose of making this thread was to talk which was not my intention...

Thank You

In all honesty i did actually want to know, why else would i have made the thread? YOU started talking first if i recall correctly...

[Los Spurs]

It's better to complain now than to cry later.

[GaryJohnston]

Because this team does it right, no prima donnas, no bad citizens.

Oh, and because of Duncan, Parker, Ginobilli, Bruce, and Pop
