I bet their strip clubs are boring too

[Koolaid_Man]

I been to SA twice..went to a strip once I think it was XTC it wasn't the best but it was a decent nude...they have another called perfect 10 I hear is better...but yeah I imagine they don't compare to most places around the country

[ambchang]

I never would have guessed the lakers, who had a huge history of winning stretching all the way to Minneapolis, would have more appeal than a small town like San Antonio.

Really, great insight.

Are you sure you're Asian...most Asians I know are pretty ing intuitive and smart...

Again numnuts the point is this is about Kobe's rating vs. The Spurs in the Finals has nothing to do with the Lakers ratings vs. The Spurs....

Kobe played for another team in his career? He was supposed to be ranked with bobby phils in Charlotte but he knew his limitations and forced his way to the lakers and the rest is history - 13 years of coat tail riding and 6 years first round exits/missing playoffs.

[Kidd K]

In other words, the bandwagoning gots like Kool were mad as SA knocked off the team they were sucking that year and boycotted the Finals.

Shocking development.

XTC is a raunchy nude 24/7 skeezey. You only go there for several reasons.
1. You're having a great night and want to keep the party going after hours and you have an ice chest full of drank. Which you can then peddle a beer for $10 a pop.
2. You are a drug dealer mixing business with pleasure.
3. Your pimpin hoes to late night pervs.

You don't however go there for the dancers because just looking to hard might get you an std.

When it comes down to strip clubs no one can with Tampa. So don't even try to hate on SA for that . We get it SA doesn't compare to the hole of America called Los Angeles. But what I hate most about LA not having been there in my life, is the ty people. Can't tell you how many ty snobby poor low down cali putos I've run into that claim cali is this or that. My question is always What the are you doing here? It's always a bull lie in response. The reason they come down here is because they can't afford to live in the hole of LA so they bring the whole raza bag family down to SA and brag about LA. Now every ing corner in SA has a ducking burrito stand. Lol.

Kobe's Final Game 5.4 vs. The Spurs 5.2

Reality shows are hugely popular. They replace actual compe ion.

The number of illegal screens set for Kobe was incredible. Randal grabbing defenders. Kobe pushing off on Heyward and just throwing him down, hilarious. It was like a staged wrestling match. Utah was trying to figure out if they were the Washington Generals, or the new blonde dude wrestler that the dirty villain wails on. It totally confirms what the NBA can still be, horribly funny. The refs had their backs turned and were totally confused on how they should call the game.

yes I would watch that again.

It was amazing to see this play where the only person who knew the script was Kobe. What an image to go out on, an actor. Great stuff. Or really horrible if you wanted to see an actual game.

Any spur finals game that didn't include Lebron probably has lower ratings than the average Post-Buss lakers game.

Like people who watch "basketball" watch it for the good basketball.
The NBA can't touch pro or college football, so there ya go, tertiary sport.

NCAA does fine with fans and they're far less polished while lacking the athletic displays NBA teams have. Spurs just have no appeal, period.

The Spurs have no appeal for people who watch basketball for heroes and personalities.
For people who actually like the real game, the Spurs are it. This is truth, period.

The Spurs don't appeal to people outside of San Antonio and leech off the popularity of other teams. Pure basketball fans would still rather watch the Warriors over the Spurs, they're both technically sound but why eat spoiled beef when you can get steak?

So how long have fans been really interested in the Warriors?

Leech off the popularity of others teams... How's that?

Yes, the only SPurs fans are indeed in San Anonio.
The major contributors to this board are all from San Antonio... Yes indeed...

[Buddy Mignon]

And it was on ESPN2, as Spurfan thought was so funny ...

So basically... you can put Kobe on Telemundo and he'd out-draw the Spurs. That's gotta sting knowing Kobe had the worst season of his life and the Spurs set a franchise best and Kobe is still a better draw.

[lefty]

Everybody wanted to laugh at Kobe taking 50 shots

When the Warriors became successful and talented instead of just the latter. They have crossover appeal, the Spurs have local appeal.

They leech off popularity of others because their best ratings come from popular opponents. It would be illogical to say that most of the board doesn't live in SA or never lived in SA.

Spurs clearly have international appeal. The Warriors have utilized the 2014 Spurs success. They are definitely fun to watch NOW.

And it's too bad for the casual fan if the Spurs dismantle more popular franchises that thrive on personalities. Tearing apart the Lakers and Heat is just sour grapes for the casual fan who does not understand the game.

The fact that one of the most farcical entertaining non sporting events was a Lakers "game" involving Kobe Bryant is the perfect send off for the fans of that franchise. So Bravo, you can keep that. I did enjoy it. The NBA caters to that type of entertainment. You and I watch games for different reasons. But I would definitely watch that "game" again. It was bizarre. Freak shows are fun at a very low dose.
