Mavs 26 years 0 les

Its funny how Spurs fans brag that the Spurs won 3 championships with the only professional team they have. They better be good...or your city would suck even worse than it does now.

but heres a question: How many professional sports championships does Dallas have over San Antonio? A LOT more.

well spurs fans have been very spoiled even in non championship years, I could be wrong but I believe that the spurs have only had 2 losing seasons in their existense, someone please correct me if I am wrong. Some of their best teams ran in to the incredible lakers in the 80's.


As far as your other question I believe Dallas has 7 championships among their teams, unless you count the championship the stars won when they were the Minnesota north stars then it would be 8. I know this because I am a huge cowboys fans(I have season tickets and go to every game from San Antonio) I am also a pretty big stars fan, I have not really been able to get back into hockey since the strike. the strike season made me realize how unimportant it was to me.

Mavs were a D league team playing in the NBA that year.

was that the year that Jason Kidd was asked what he most wanted for christmas? and he replied " David Robinson."

You don't have to win a le to be a good franchise. Period.

You just have to be good to your fans and make a lagit attempt to win.

Yeah, but the fanbase has to be in existence for at least 10-15 years or so.

Yeah, but the fanbase has to be in existence for at least 10-15 years or so.

That goes hand-in-hand with how the franchise treats the fans. However, these 2 things are not completely inter-related. Case-in-point: New Jersy and Miami.

Terrible fans, despite franchises trying (and succeding) in winning.

No, no, no, Celtic Pride. Spurs fans will tell you that the Spurs franchise is "waaaaaay different" and that they can't be compared that way. I already tried to do that. Lol, nice post. Lets see what kind of response you get.

Quit acting like a , the re your giving props to is as clueless about basketball as you are.

Posting facts doesn't take a whole lot of basketball IQ. You get them off the internet and post em. They're facts that you can't debate and that pisses you off. All you can do is insult me and him/her.

Also, I like the fact that you think you know anything about me or what I know about basketball. Nice. And calling me a ...well I am female so if that makes you feel better, fine by me.

Whats to debate? Until you guys win one then you can look at it in that light. As of right now its still February and there's still a lot of basketball to be played. Nothings guaranteed.

Fair enough.

I'll give you props for being more clueless than I am as I don't think you were around when the Spurs moved from Dallas. I think you jumped on the bandwagon way after that. Get a clue, Celts 16 and Spurs 3.

No dumb ass, the link you have on my life. Since your making the claim that Ive been a spurs fan since they've won championships. I said you were clueless about basketball because of the re ed things you post.

That is the link to your life since your a SFSC.
And the re ed things you say.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

That is the link to your life

Um no, that's a link to the spurs history page on spurs.com. You must be the kind of person that laughs at his own jokes. Good for you.

since your a SFSC.

Again with the lame attempt at being funny. Here's a question, was it this year or last year that you hopped on the mavs bandwagon?

And the re ed things you say.

can you complete a sentence.

Again, your wisdom comes to the fore front. You don't even know your own teams history or you would have known the facts that I brought up. You are the one who started the personal attacks because you feel legit facts don't apply to you or your team. I'm done replying to your ignorant posts.


Spurs took 26 years to win 1st le. FACT Deal with it.

This is so crazy!!!! The Mavs are good, but they are not in the league of those Bulls, the great Celtics teams, etc. Sometimes records simply don't do justice...

Your right! Record season records don't do justice. I know the spurs don't have more les than the bulls, lakers, and celts but they do have at least ONE! Not at best but at least one. At best, The mavs have 0 and spurs least is better than mavs best. So with that said, the mavs can go 73-9 this year and if they don't win it all, it will be a disgrace to their franchise and a HUGE disappointment to their fans. That is all.
