You think?
Maybe it's just because I am a Spurs fan, but it seems like the Spurs are never featured in NBA TV spots.
The one for the HOOP Troop or whatever it's called....the one where "fastbreak meets fantasy", MVP's meet OMG, dunks meet whatever....no Spurs in the highlights.
The Lenny Kravitz song.....no Spurs in the highlights.
Even the NBA power rankings....Spurs have best record, yet the #1 ranked team will always be the Heat or the Lakers, maybe the Celtics...then one of them will lose and one of the other replaces them while the Spurs stay #2 or #3.
If the Lakers or Celtics had the record the Spurs have, their entire starting lineup would probably be on the All Star team!
Sportscenter always leads off with Laker highlights, unless they lose....then it's the Heat or Celtics. If all three lose on the same night.....what will they do???
You think?
Yes. The national media not only ignores them, it runs them down when it does talk about them. You need to get used to this as a Spurs fan since there is nothing you can do about it.
I know. It's irritating though isn't it?
Frankly, I almost never watch national telecasts unless it's the Spurs and the local feed is off that night. Tuning out is my way of saying "kiss my ass".
Miami baby...the Heat is on....
My sig with it.
It's all a gigantic conspiracy. The overlords hate the Spurs.
/too lazy to put in blue
we'll always have HEB
The Spurs will always be shunned in the national spotlight! Its the way its always been. The entire League is jealous of what the spurs have accomplished in the past decade.
It's not the entire league, just the association part of it, the part that's headed by Stern. The teams in the leagues, well they like what the Spurs are doing, which is why so many teams have former Spurs on their team, most in a major capacity like Coach or GM. But yeah...since a small market team led by Internationals who kick ass over teams led by All-Americans, the 4-letter and it's ilk tend to not want to talk about that.
Get use to it buddy. They'll be in commercials when they're getting dunked on. You'll learn to notice that too.
Lol I think I saw a commercial a while ago about the league pass, and several highlights included instances were players dunked on the Spurs. I would like to say I saw two. I'm not sure about that. But it is funny.
Yup and the sky is blue and oceans are wide. Air is breathable, water is drinkable and Spurs aren't popular. Everything seems to be in good order.
Manu has appeared in NBA ads from time to time, a remember a couple of years ago the typical NBA copyright clip featured plays from 4-7 players..the significance is that they were very few of the whole league, and Manu was one. Now that I think about it:
Interesting..they chose Manu for the where amazing happens, there can only be one, and David Blaine series...but I guess for pretty much all of these they were either NBA playoff or finals commercials, so that explains why they were more inclined to put some Spurs.
WTF???? DID YOU NOT SEE THE NORTHSIDE FORD COMMERCIAL WITH TIAGO?
Golden.
I remember they Nike had a few badass commercials metaphorically comparing players to animals... If my memory is correct, the combos were Dirk/Hawk, Boykins/Frog, Nash/Cyclone, Sheed/Wild Fire....
and the Spurs as a collective defense (Bruce, Manu, and I think Tony) were compared piranhas... I've searched all over for this video to no avail... I only saw it aired twice... it was badass though.
here is the Dirk, Sheed, and Boykins ones

if anyone could post the Spurs commercial, I would be eternally grateful
ahhh yes, good memory. The Spurs version had to have been aired minimally compared to the others.
Damn it, now you have me searching everywhere for it as well but this is the closest I come:

Yeah the Spurs are not getting any attention they deserve and yes nobody gives a about the spurs and they are mostly ignored. It has always been that way. Like said above, that's just something to get used to. I don't mind it, I like it tbh.
But, they are futured in commercials though and short clips with footage from time to time. Maybe not as much as other teams, but they are. Not just the team, but also clips with just Duncan, TP or Manu.
It is an Intl conspiracy since Intl TV almost never consider Spurs
I think Spurs #1 Standing is considered an ocasional anomaly
I've seen the Spurs in a lot of NBA national TV spots (at least in game footage shown).
Usually on defense while Kobe, Pierce, LBJ, etc are scoring....
