Don't be impressed by flowery words that don't have much meaning. Parsimony is better. It's not like the Spurs just started down this road and the two above have been trying to take a wet on them for years. This "god" they speak of is pragmatism while the team they elected to follow, of their own free will of course, chose time and again to allow one player to destroy their franchise, even though all stops were removed to give this individual the lion's share of NBA big men to remain compe ive. Kobe is their god, and he's a false one.
Don't be misled by false praise. They still prefer player worship over how the Spurs play and they'd chose to follow a bottom level team with a star player over a perennial contender with no true superstar.
