Can't escape the internetHoly what a ing got, that.That now pisses me off. ing Rockets fan. Laughing during 6? Oh man...
This 's career with the Spurs better make it up for me to forgive that .
Simmons with the greatest Heel Turn since Hulk Hogan joined NWO
In all seriousness though, who gives a ? Tbh. He grew up a Rockets fan, of course he was going to root against the Spurs. Now he plays for us and I'm sure if you asked him, he'd pledge his allegiance to SA. Kawhi grew up a Lakers fan too. No matter. Superfan still just not over 6 tbh
Plus, it could always be worse
yeah it's not like he called Duncan a got or sucker in one of his tweets, not a huge deal
Lmaooooo
Breaking; these guys were people before they came to the nba
It's not like he said lol holocaust
Breaking, thisBreaking; these guys were people before they came to the nba
It's not like he said lol holocaustwasnt a normal person before the nba.
Well then, what do you folks make about his tweet showing Patty Mills legs turn to jello guarding Crawford?
That his private personality is very different from his interviews maybe? Has a large ego, making fun of NBA players?
... definitely in the troll business?
WOW hahahahaPlus, it could always be worse
Is Nance still a Laker?
This lol
but seriously tho, the people who bumped his tweet
I'm not surprised and not even because he's from Houston. This is obviously a generalization backed up by no facts, but I'd imagine the Spurs aren't the most popular team among "African Americans" (funny how white Americans aren't referred to as European Americans, but I digress). For the most part, they don't have players that look or sound like them nor do they play the style generally associated with them, so they're probably seen as something like the Duke of the NBA.
I wouldn't go that far.... he's from Houston. Houston Rockets are a big Spurs rival. I am pretty sure he equally hates the Mavs.
Of course there's some bit of truth that 'light skin dudes' prefer the Spurs kind of play. Kyle Anderson is one of those light skin dudes. In fact, that's probably what Kobe Bryant was referring to when he told Clarkson to be more aggressive taking it too the hoop.
It indeed a fact that the Spurs are composed of a lot of light-skin dudes that does make an impression. There are only 3 dark-skin dudes in the Spurs, that is Leonard, LMA and Butler. Oh... although Patty make look African... he doesn't have a drop of African blood... he's Australian Aborigine.
Yeah, he's already better than Julian Randle
Really. So Randle is a bust then?
i can confirm, Spurs are not very popular among AA around my age anyway.
Is it because of the personnel or is it because of the style of play?
I wouldn't say that he has a large ego just because he shared that vine of Patty getting crossed up. When stuff like that happens it always spreads across social media.
I was speaking more in general.
Just because he's not mixed, Aldridge doesn't quality as a "dark skin dude". Leonard is the only one, but he doesn't fit the stereotype. Besides, let's face it, this predates him and is more about the big three, who are the faces of this era.
Obviously, there's no way of proving this, but I suspect they're highly popular among mixed people (particularly those that grew up in a predominately white environment) and foreigners.

Okay... then you are referring to "at ude"... so the only "Dark Skin dude" is Simmons?
Is there a meme on his twitter of Lebroning?
That right there did get spread out all over social media during the 2014 finals.
No, Aldridge is just not dark skinned.
What I'm saying is, his hatred of the Spurs probably goes back to way before they even had Leonard and it was probably at least in part because they didn't have someone who looked like Leonard (at least in a prominent role) and didn't act, sound and play like he'd probably expect someone who looks like him to. In other words, he couldn't relate to them.
i would say so, but we gotta see where he is in a couple years to really say.
probaby more play style than personnel if I was going that angle. Spurs don't run up the score and showboat much... Maybe a little personnel though. Kawhi gets a lot of love, he could possibly convert that AA audience. But for the most part, I think it's because these guys are more casual fans of the game than they would like to think and get most of their sports rhetoric from ESPN. I've seen the opinion shift the last few years though with the Spurs getting more love from the media. It used to be that the Spurs were boring whenever I would talk about them with people irl or in person.. now it's still that the Spurs are boring, but they hate em for being so good too lol
i live in Detroit so a lot of people here are still bitter about the 2005 finals lol but I follow people my age (early 20s) from around the country on Twitter, and the general consensus is the same. I've also went to university in Indiana my first two and have friends Illinois, Indiana, etc
