Congrats Fin!
My mother, who is also a big spurs fan, asked me if she was white or black.... In "that tone".
Sometimes I feel like punching her...
Does anyone else have parents like that?
For the record Im white..... in San Antonio *gasp*
Please, dont get my mom wrong, she has lots of black friends, she is just against interracial marrage for some reason.
Ok that's funny.
he was just playing......
what ever happened to first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage?
I think Shawn Kemp is what happened to it...
Stop sucking up to spurs fans. They will not like you no matter what.
Nobody is sucking up to spurs fans. I was a big fan of Michael Finley when he was here. Any mav fan from the 90's has to like Michael Finley.
Ditto here, Finley's always going to be a good guy no matter where he ends up.
when you're rich like that, you can play that combo any which way you want...besides, they lived together in dallas like a married couple so who cares about formalities? as long as they're happy and taking care of their kid, that's all that matters...some married couples can't even do that
Yeah true but now he's on the spurs and I can't root for anyone on that team. He even aggravated me when he jumped on Terry for that jump ball. That was unnecessary.
And I am sure it completely justified Terry massaging Fin's nutsack with his knuckles, right?
i understand, i would never root for him as long as he's in a spurs uniform just like i doubt spurs fans would root for aj if they liked him before he became the mavs coach...it's all part of the game, but i still like finley and if he had jumped on a ball like that when playing for the mavs i'd probably be cheering...sure it was f*cked up for two guys to jump on terry like that but it was just as messed up for terry to do what he did too, esp. cause people like to blow stuff out of proportion...if finley got his nuts punched i doubt he would've been up off that ground so quickly but hey, if it helped them for terry to sit a game then all the better for the spurs
he went after a loose ball? what a jackass! that pretty much erases anything positive he's ever done.
Congrats Fin
I wouldn't get too wound up about that. I'm sure just as many if not more black people asked the same question. I'm convinced that racism and feelings about interracial marriage are completely seperate.
It's a touchy subject but I believe their is a kind of "primal" feeling of protectionism when it comes to people and their race. It also exists in regards to religion and nationality.
Just my 2 cents.
Dampier had no work ethic even before he came to Dallas.
Yo shoogardude, you want another obvious statement?
Your 'Skins are going down tonight!!!
thanks, its still annoying though. I personally will probably never marry a black woman but if I met the right one, hey what the ?
I just believe the human race will never advance as long as we keep up these beliefs of seperatism.
Umm, you just described racism when describing that "primal" feeling. You're right about the whole religion/nationality protectionist feelings but all three of these are prejudices that stem from negative feelings.
The only other thing that would have made his offseason and honeymoon complete would been having a 2006 NBA Championship ring bestowed upon him at the regular season opener. That would have been the second greatest ring he would have received this year.
It sure sounds like it doesn't it ? Well, I'm not sure they all stem from negative feelings. Some of it just stems from wanting to see your own race/religion survive. Of course, here in America we are all becoming muts, but hey that's what makes this country so great.
Indian families will just about disown their kids if they marry outside of their race. Jews are known to be pretty firm on wanting to see their race and religion advance as well. Anyhoo...sorry for this becoming a non-basketball issue in this forum.
