It all started with the Iceman.
I've been a Spurs fan since what seems to me like back in the day. I was a David Robinson fan. Guy owned in college. So the Spurs drafted Mr. Robinson. The Spurs? Huh? Wha? And we got so close so many times. ing Rod Strickland. But not until the Spurs draft Tim Duncan, who? wha?, does The Admiral reach the pinnacle of his profession. It's amazing that it took that much and that the hero from Wake Forest was the embodiment of everything I loved about DRob. It's been a great ride. One of the best, if not the best, rides in professional sports in the last 20 years. I'm literally in tears right now. I love this team. I have friends who love KG and lament the now gone "celtics basketball". I wonder if I'll even like the NBA when Dunc, Obiwan, and Parker are gone. I know we are extremely lucky to be witness to the level of greatness that is Spurs basketball. The other night I woke up and my radio was on and they were sprayin about Lebron's 62 (pfft DRob 71)or whatever it was and all I could see was 28 seconds. It eats at me every single day. 28 in seconds. One rebound. One freethrow. Just make a play and you've got one for the thumb, 5-0, beat the kang twice, . 28 seconds. And here we are best record in the association. Injured all season and here we are, coming down the home stretch, in the lead. I hope the bball gods can be with us one more time. TD deserves it. I don't know if I'll follow the spurs when the heroes are gone...maybe they will be artfully replaced...but let us please enjoy this season. They might get one more run next year, but who knows. We are in position and I pray this team is hungry like they've never been, tbh. Go Spurs Go.

People keep making it a foregone conclusion we'll suck once TD and Manu and eventually TP retire (or leaves the team after the former two retire) but I don't think it's that simple. Who knows who they'll pursue via free agency? I know there's a bunch of wannabe ghetto thugs who think they're too cool to play for the Spurs and will always choose the big market over us but I'm sure we can get someone who'll want to play with Kawhi and I trust in management to keep the team respectable and relevant. While we may eventually become a lottery team, I'm sure that will be a short-term problem headed to another established long-term success because that's what this organization has established since the early 90's and I just can't see that determination going away. We'll see though.
Very fine first post.
Of course, I'm a spurs fan, not a fan of just one player like most ol' sports are. I'll just have a different persona every year
Most likely. Not because I love every aspect of this board, but like FlashZo said above, I love basketball. Plus SA has been part of my life before I was born, so both the city and therefore Spurs mean something to me. Will I be posting all the time? Maybe not, but even if the team is going through a rough period, I'll still be either watching some of the games, attending them or chatting with other Spurs fans when I'm in the mood. It's similar to an old friend, just because I'm not keeping up all the time doesn't change the fact I still hope for the best.
fwiw, I don't think Spurs will just turn to though. There might be some less than great years, but I think the organization has certain standards and iden y to it.
yeah. I still post on Cowboys forums even though they've sucked for 15+ years. lol
Ill be here.
Through thick & thin tbh.
I can't believe that 6 neutered the board so hard. I mean, I get it, but it's not like we're dead in the water now. We're tied for the best record in the NBA with a surging team while the other great teams are struggling. I don't get the Spur fanbase here, whiny babies mostly. Go cry about 6 while the team tries to bring it back home. Can't live in the past forever.
Great thread, will read again 10/10
Richard Jefferson killed some people´s will to post here.
I hope the site is still going then. I'll be here.
We are a very spoiled fan base, tbh.
I barely post anyway, tbh, but I will still continue to lurk around. I have been a lifetime Spurs junky, so why stop then?
