My wife is more or less a Dirk fan, which I can support considering he's one of my favorite non-Spurs players. She's already said that when he retires, she'll cheer for the Spurs.
Im an Astros and Texans fan and have a lot of family and friends in Houston. They always pull for the spurs after the rockets. Of course there are those who hate us but we all hate the Mavs just the same. Im sure its part of the overall Dallas hate. Most of us Texans hate Cowboys fans for their iness(I know most of you are cowboys fans so sorry hahaha)and I think that carries over to the NBA. For some reason too the Rangers fans hate us astros and im not sure why?? I dont hate the Rangers and I root for them in the AL, but I have to admit its kind of funny seeing them fail year in and year out.

I have a "friend" hahah who lives in SA and she is in love with Dirk and hates the spurs.
Hah.
It's weird - it's like everyone I know HATES Duncan, and that's the reason why they hate the Spurs. I'm always like, WTF why do you hate him? They just say he's boring. in haters.
I dont get it either, we are witnessing which is quite possible the best PF to play the game. Top 5 for sure!!
I think Doug is right about Houston being a huge bandwagon town (outside the Texans, for whom exists a perplexing level of interest and love, that I guess owes to being a football team).
I don't mind the Rockets, and the legit Rockets fans are often complimentary of the Spurs, at least in my 12 years of experience in Houston. They may talk some trash as division rivals with a history will, but I know some great Rockets fans.
My temporary boss is a huge basketball fan. He supports the Rockets, but the Spurs are one of his favorite teams, primarily because of Duncan and the system. He bought his mini-season pack the day before the news on Yao came out and said that if it includes a Spurs game, he'll give us the tickets since we've never seen them play in person. He is so much fun to talk to about basketball; I'll be sad when he leaves.
Because the Texans are new.
It's funny, because the hands down best team in this town is the Dynamo, yet they had to fight and claw to get a new stadium - which they freaking deserved! Those are some fun games to go to.
Are you in Houston? I have been wanting to go see the Dynamo cause i hear they are fun.
Go spurs go!
Go texans!
Go stros!
Yup, I'm in Houston.
