Absolutely Med ...LMFAO at the superiority complex on here. Overall the quality of posts are better their because their mods are soo strict. But here is more fun but also overall more ty. Kobe is overrated on there but also hated on by Shaq loyalists and even those that object to his extension. Here Duncan although the GOAT PF and arguably best overall big since KAreem definitely since Hakeem is overrated by some ... but that makes sense. Surprisingly Tony and Pop are underrated here. Manu is also overrated here as well but as his "haters".

Tbh, the NBA Forum used to be MILES above LG. Now, the gap isn't so wide.

The Aussie wanker took the Tony hate to a whole another level. tbh Spurs fans have always had this love hate thing with Tony since 2004. Dude s the bed in the post season way too often. In 2005, Duncan & Manu played their asses off against Seattle & Detroit and Tony had like 8 pts in game 7 (finals).

Pop is definitely not underated here. Like every other franchise, fans will always be critical of their coach.

If Kobe actually had more individual accolades, they might have had a case. But they're too stupid to swallow their pride and always rank Kobe above Magic for some reason. Don't they know that Magic was arguibly the GOAT before Jordan three peated.

I could understand fans of his generation ranking Kobe above some, especially for those haven't seen players of previous eras. But to take insult when someone says Kobe isn't the best player in the game anymore, that's a whole another level of disorder.

I've been a member of both Spurstalk and Lakersground for over 10 years now...both have ty posters who are delusional and unrealistic in their portrayal of their team and its players. That's what fans do.

That's actually what I tried to say with my last post one page earlier. The real Laker fans over there are mostly okay (except for a few idiots) like the one the OP cited in his first post of this thread. Those guys are fine and are not blinded by sheer homerism. However, the most delusional bunch over there are the Kobe nuthuggers who have basically lost every contact to reality IMO as proven with countless quotes.

Gino has been heavily underrated here since having an off season in 2013, tbh... he just posted the #2 PER on the team in a championship playoff run, while he rarely gets the recognition he deserves, particularly upstairs...

Outside of Duncan and Pop Gino is my fave Spur with KL coming on strong. Never liked Tony but I respect him more than some Hard core Spur fans ...

truth be told, the ST crowd isn't really representative of your average fan... plus there's plenty of trolling/schticks going around...

Whoever said Manu is overrated should take a hard look in the mirror and revaluate his whole existence.

Another week, another gem




And a direct answer to this post





Jesus Christ, how on God's green earth can you be that dumb and delusional? Seriously, no fan base in the entire NBA is so far away from reality than the Kobe homers. This is just embarrassing. Not even the worst LeBron or Jordan homers can have such idiotic thoughts.

Those two posts are so re ed they actually anger me tbh.

Good one

[spurraider21]

The only people that don't like Pop are the trolls upstairs tbh. Ginobili is typically hated on by the posters typically age 17 and under who have zero understanding of what Manu really is. Green and Splitter had been cruelly underrated by spurfans, thought I think that tide has turned. Leonard is overrated by quite a few

He is by some, underrated by plenty of others. Personally I love the guy ... wild turnovers and all.

By some he is and when I say here I include upstairs. I have seen plenty of posts where people have argued "well sure Kobe/Wade are great and have more hype but I would rather have Manu because ... when tbh despite both those guys being assholes ... not a strong case can be made for Manu over either player. That is overrating him. At SG outside of the big 2 (since MJ) Manu has to be at least "considered" at the #3 spot along with Miller and Ray Allen since I value les a lot more than most do when discussing player legacy. But acting as though Manu is not overrated by some on a SPURS site is like me acting as though Kobe, Magic etc are not overrated on the LG.

But I get why some overrate him he plays with no fear he has huge cajones and although he doesnt have shot selection quite as ty he really does remind me of Kobe. A guy that in his prime could easily get you 25 5 and 5 with a highlight block steal thrown in for good measure.

[Killakobe81]

Maybe I am guilty of overrating Manu as well ... I would probably take Manu over Ray (who was also a great all-around talent and clutch in his prime) probably not over Miller I am biased though he is a Bruin and I watched him play since college.

to be honest evaluating Manu is a dilemma because of the role he was limited to in his career. he has played the OKC James Harden role for us, and he never took the chance to bolt and have "his" Houston run. So i think much of the overrating you speak of comes from guys thinking he could make that transition and take on the bigger load without issue. His per minute numbers are up there with anybody despite almost never being the #1 option

I'm sure you still don't know how good he really is.

Really? I Lived in SA for 3 years. Saw him play live, in -person and he was my favorite player to watch.
Saw him destroy Pau and his Spainards in the Olympics as well as some over-hyped Greek and Brazilian teams.
I absolutely know how good he is better than plenty on this forum. But I dont overrate him as much as others do.
YOu know who else loves Manu? Kobe respects the out of him.

[Killakobe81]

I also was one of the Non spur fans arguing he deserved some Finals MVP consideration in 2005 ...at least co-MVP. Going back I think duncan deserved it but at the time it just seemed anytime a clutch play was needed (besides HOrry) it was always Man who orchestrated it.

Then why do you say he is "generally overrated" here. Outside of a few dumb s nobody says he is better than Kobe and Wade, although he is right now, being the oldest of the 3.

I get he is Argentinian so you may be over-sensitive but you do realize it's natural for fans to overrate and over criticize their own players ...right? I should have said "that Manu is generally poorly rated on here. Some undderrate him but his haters after the 2013 Finals have gotten louder".

Dont see why you are so salty about this. Big surprise that people would overrate a fan favorite like Manu on a Spurs board? Live in Dallas now guess what they overrate Dirk here too. Just like Laker fans do Kobe. It happens.

Not salty at all, just curious as to see why you would think Manu is overrated here when most of the folks either rate him just fine or bash him, tbh.

They really think Kobe is going to come off a ruptured achilles + missed playoffs and knee injury + missed 76 games and average 27/5/5 at 36 or 37 years old...
