The San Antonio Spurs Continue To Fly Under The Radar, Like Horror Villains

[ace3g]

The most impressive thing about a classic Jason/Freddy/Michael Meyers horror villain is the stealth. Somehow, no matter how threatening the killer might be, he always manages to move through the darkest night and brightest day without attracting a bit of attention to himself. Be it a maniac wielding a chainsaw or an immortal burn victim slithering through dreams, no one is able to track his location from one minute to the next. Slowly, methodically, the killer makes his way through the township, never drawing attention or wandering eyes, always flying under the radar. It serves him well, of course; to be ignored and overlooked is the villain’s best friend, enabling him to strike where, when and whom he’d like, then disappear back into the shadows.

And such is existence for the Spurs, no matter how thoroughly they destroy their compe ion. They’re constantly winning, yet rarely celebrated. , forget celebrations — they’re hardly even acknowledged. Were the NBA a three-legged race at Camp Crystal Lake, the Spurs would be Jason, dressed in full horror movie regalia and blending in among the campers despite being the largest and most menacing figure hovering over the festivities. For whatever reason, no matter how many times they wreak havoc on the league, they’re ignored.

The author missed the main characteristic about successful horror villains. Even though the folks think they've killed them off, they always come back with renewed vigor in the next year's movie. People have been writing off the Spurs for years and they always come back for more.
