I hate no (ex)Spurs.
I hate no (ex)Spurs.
Some can't bring themselves to hate Avery since he hit the game winning shot for the 99' championship. He does tend to whine when the refs don't see the game his way though.
1. Rodman
2. Van Exel
3. Sean Marks
Without Timmy and David Robinson, Avery would not have had that shot to make.
I never felt especially connected to Avery. I liked him okay back in the day, but my favorites were Timmy, Malik, and Antonio Daniels- guys closer to my age. I related to them better than the older guys.
David Robinson was the one exception.
Maybe if I had had more loyalty to Avery when he was here, I would be more inclined to be tolerant of him now.
Sean Marks- worse nomination yet! What did he ever do? Poor Kiwi.
At least you're rid of him.
Nowadays, he's a cohost on a midday weekday show out here on the Laker flagship station with 2 other guys. The main host is at least objective about the team, but the other guy (along with Mychal) is so myopic about the Lamers (and especially Kobe), it's more than enough to make anyone sick.
Perfect example of what I'm talking about: the other day they're all talking about potential playoff seedings in the West (yeah, I know it's August, but the purple and YELLOW psychobabble never stops out here), and Mychal, in all his infinite "wisdom", declares that with the team the Lakers would run out on the court RIGHT NOW, they would be a FIFTH SEED AT WORST if the playoffs started today, and proceeds to declare that teams like Dallas, Golden State, Utah and Houston are weak and haven't proven anything in his eyes!
To his credit, he DID say that the only team that the Lamers would have trouble getting past would be the Spurs, but then he said that they might beat them too.
It's almost comical to listen to the guy speak, since he desn't have a grasp of anything involving sports. He can't be objective on anyone else who doesn't wear a Laker uniform, and he's always got Kobe's groin in his face, so his views are quite skewed to say the least. The only reason he gives the Spurs any credit is because he HAS to. Even a dumb like him can recognize the dominance of the Spurs, but having said that, you know it's just killing him inside that he can't replace "Spurs" with "Lakers".
Why Avery? Because of Dallas??
Avery's association with Mark Cuban has rubbed me wrong too. Especially since he's starting to whine just like Cuban.
1. Rodman (not just because of the 94 series, he dissed the Spurs pretty good too)
2. Samiki Walker (Coattails has no business talking about people being soft)
3. George Karl (Such a whiner, and ugly to boot.)
I forgot about Samaki. He was always such a wannabe that his 'soft' comments were almost comical.
It's weird with Rodman. I think he would have been a horrible teammate, but I appreciated his ability to board. He was never a team guy and I think that was his downfall. He was a great fringe guy, but he played too important a role on the Spurs. He was looked at to be a team leader in SA, something he mentally was never really capable of.
I would never root for the coach of our division rival, I was proud of Avery for getting the job.
If it were not for his whining which I view as poor sportsmanship, I would just wish repeated loses on him our compe ion and leave it at that.
Carlesimo is coaching Seattle now. I won't stop liking him unless he starts acting the fool.
I find it a joke that people hate Van Exel but not Beno.
Van Exel sucked because he had nothing left, but he still gave as much as he had.
Beno just doesn't give a .
I was not referring to Beno in the second part of my post and you know that.
I never hate a Spur...never
My usage of hate is the common usage - "hate" = "I strongly dislike". If I really did hate someone, I'd post my hatred very frequently and be unreasonable in my criticisms. (ducks and Lebron, for instance)I really don't see how you can hate someone that you do not even know.
3. Marc Iavaroni
2. Lloyd Daniels
1. Sydney Green

Two more for good measure:
2. Charles Smith (the one who came from the Knicks)
1. Alfrederick Hughes
Cherokee Parks
Dennis Rodman/Rod Strickland
Avery Johnson/George Karl

I was wondering if we were gonna get some Sidney Green and Charles Smith hate for good measure.3. Marc Iavaroni

They are numbers 4 and 5 on my top three, though. Rodman, Hedo, DA.
Someone explain the Charles Smith hate to me. I understand he didn't work out as a player, but did he say something or do something negative toward the team or the city?
sounded like you were
