Hi from Slovenia!

So, as I saw thread from a guy from Germany few minutes ago, I thought "hey, I should introduce myself too". I truly hope it doesn't bother you.

I am 18 years old girl from a small country called Slovenia, which you probably know because of Beno Udrih, Rasho Nesterovic and Goran "the dragon" Dragic.

Since I know for NBA there was always only one team I cheered for - I remember I watched Spurs games in the middle of the night (most of the nba games are when it's around 2, 3 am in the morning here) when I was only 10 years old. My family couldn't (and still doesn't) understand why waking up at 2 am in the morning for "just a basketball game" is so important, but I don't bother with that, because they will probably never understand what it is like when your heart beats so hard for one team. I kept my routine of waking up until now and am planning to keep it on, as much as school allows me.

The reason why I started to cheer for Spurs is simple - Tim Duncan. He's by far my favourite player not only in NBA, but overall. His basketball skills are amazing, but what I extremely appreciate is his personality - modest, friendly, and always puts team on the first place, not his own stats. I think he should be role model to all young children who want to become basketball players one day. I used to play basketball too (guess which number I had), but then had to stop because of the injury and couldn't find my way back.

So as you could see, Spurs are the one and the only team I root for in the NBA, the reason is TD, but I love them for more reasons. What I like the most is their way of playing, which involves the whole team, good chemistry without any big stars who think they are the best etc. Of course players like TD, Manu and Tony are big stars, but their behaviour is far away from "I'm the best", if you know what I mean. Spurs system is based on great team chemistry, and this is what I like. In the end, basketball is a team sport, isn't it?

I just want you to know that Spurs have huge support even here in Europe I know Tim Duncan is not going to play forever, but even when he ends his amazing career, I am 1000% sure I will stay Spurs fan until I watch NBA. And yes, I will keep on waking up in the middle of the night to see them play! Lucky you, who can watch NBA games in the evening, enjoy that! I'm jealous of you, I admit.

PS: I hope we will celebrate this summer!

Saying this to someone from Slovenia makes as much sense as me replying "Te quiero" to you when you tell me you're from the States.

[Gagnrath]

Kobayagi, considering that the US has no official language and is made up of sections formerly owned by England, France, Mexico, Russia and Spain. I would expect a large number of people there to speak Spanish. I would also expect a large number to speak English and French, but a majority of the place is former Mexican and Spanish territory.

but a majority of the place is former Mexican and Spanish territory.

And that's the reason I used Spanish. Slovenia used to be a part of the country whose language was used by Whisky Dog, however, that's not Slovenian language.
