Why are you a Spurs fan?

Why am I a spurs fan?

Because I like a lot of pain

[makedamnsure]

I was born in the great city of San Antonio (so I gotta support the hometown team).

My uncle also loved the Spurs and got me a little cheerleader outfit when I was about 1. Been a fan since. I wouldn't trade the memories I've had supporting the team for nothing.

I am very proud to say I was a fan before everyone else jumped on the bandwagon

[SpursWoman]

same reason most of ya'll are catholics, my parents were

Also, as an added bonus, my brother and I figured out at a very young age if we watched the Spurs & the Cowboys with my dad he let us drink beer.

With the first pick in the 1997 NBA Draft, the San Antonio Spurs select.....Tim Duncan from the University of Wake Forest.

I started watching the Spurs when I moved here in 1991, but the moment above was also when I started paying closer attention and became a big fan.

[ShoogarBear]

My family moved to San Antonio from Chicago in July of 1973. At the time I was a Knick and Virginia Squire fan, but I figured my days of watching any pro games live were over.

About a month later the Spurs moved down from Dallas. I was still a Squire fan for a while, but then mid-year their cheap-ass owner sold Gervin to the Spurs.

I am a spurs fan because my friend Peter Holt has agreed to pay for mtv to bring back Celebrity Death Match so there can be a match between.....

Mark Cuban vs. Gorillas

The result can be Rapturing.

Now that they lost I'm not a Spurs fan anymore! 'em if they can't keep on winning then it looks like it's time for me to find another team! Who is the odds on favorites to win this thing now? Well, I'll wait and see who wins between the Heat and the Pistons and that will be my new favorite team.

For some reason I'm starting to think your le needs to be changed to incorporate this cuban being raped by gorilla thing. Oh, and please send your ideas in to MTV, ESPN, and the NBA so that maybe they can make it happen...On second thought, Cuban might enjoy it too much, nevermind.

I will always be a Spurologist. I appreciate your input. My thought all come from my School of Spurology. Mark Cuban vs. Gorillas comes directly from Spurology. I have sent many messages to NBA, MTV, ESPN, NBA regarding this issue. They are still scraping through those message. Did you know the word scraping like rapturing has the word.....nevermind.

Born in SA and my first basketball event was at Hemisfair arena with Captain Lake, Ice and Silas.

Even when this team sucked, I liked how they did play really hard. Heck i even got over Rod Stricklands dumb pass to Sean; who wasn't going to the corner in the first place!!

Probably the best was hanging out with Willie Anderson when he had the Avalon night club. COULD ALWAYS GET IN FOR FREE!! lol

Now it's all about watching the team come out of the toilet and into the penthouse under Pop. I've seen a lot of history and can't waif for more to follow...GO SPURS GO!!

[Mavschick]

The Mavs are my fav team (Mr. Psycho-owner notwithstanding), but the Spurs are a close 2nd because they are a first-class organization with the classiest and best player in the NBA in Tim Duncan (yes I'd take him over Dirk because like Dirk, TD can score but unlike Dirk he can also defend anyone), a fantastic and classy coach in Pop, an extremely talented and classy PG in TP, a fiery and classy SG in Manu, etc. In other words, the Spurs are total class and the organization as a whole is a model for all other NBA teams to emulate.

Give Mavschick Honorary Spurs Fan Status!!

"started during the 2002-2003 postseason. funny thing is, i reallly didn't go all out for them until they played the Mavs. I don't even know why I stuck with them after they lost Game 1 to the Mavs but I did. And that turned out to be a very good decision for me--even now."

it's hard to pick out just one reason to love the team because there are so many. The Spurs are simply the best." Carino Gino


Wow, that is an incrediblly harrowing account of dramatic events! Holy this is possibly the funniest response I've ever read. This person actually wants to have their loyalty recognized for not bailing on a championship-caliber team (that had already in fact won an NBA le) after they lost one game to an upstart Dallas team in a 7 game series they were overwhelmingly favored to win. Your dedication is paralleled only by those Red Sox Fans who bought season tickets for over 80-years of failure and finally experienced triumph.

That reminds me of the time the Spurs beat the Mavericks in game 1 this year...I thought about converting to Spurs fandom, but ultimately my unyielding sense of conviction and perseverance was rewarded in the series, like Penelope waiting 30 years for her husband to return in "The Oddyssey."

...the Spurs fan mentality is pretty funny...I haven't seen such a sense of en lement since I attended a private fundraising dinner for Bush in 2002. I know im gonna take a lot of heat on this one, but some of you guys might want to think about taking a step back to stop taking yourselves so seriously.

what is wrong with you? somebody asked a question and I gave mine. FYI, I consider myself lucky for choosing the Spurs. Call me a bandwagon fan if you will, I don't care. But since then, I've had nothing but love and respect for this team so I don't have to put up with a stupid idiot with the fitting name of pussy face.

I was in the Air Force there in SA in 1972 when Dallas kicked the Chaparrals out of the city and Red McCombs and others brought them to SA as the Spurs. They had a # 1 guard who was known as Captain Late for his last second heroics (James Silas). The radio game announcer was a very poetic person with no vocal pauses who described the games like no one had nor has since he left the Spurs. His name is Terry Stembridge. When the Ice Man arrived on the scene, I was sold forever.

Thirty four years later, I still live and die with them, albeit from afar.

[Dingle Barry]

I am shocked to see so many allegiances based on a single player. I really thought that only applied to the Kobes, Lebrons, and Jordans of the world.

As for me, I grew up in the SATX and I can't imagine not living for Spurs basketball every year.
