    So, as I saw thread from a guy from Germany few minutes ago, I thought "hey, I should introduce myself too". I truly hope it doesn't bother you.

    I am 18 years old girl from a small country called Slovenia, which you probably know because of Beno Udrih, Rasho Nesterovic and Goran "the dragon" Dragic.

    Since I know for NBA there was always only one team I cheered for - I remember I watched Spurs games in the middle of the night (most of the nba games are when it's around 2, 3 am in the morning here) when I was only 10 years old. My family couldn't (and still doesn't) understand why waking up at 2 am in the morning for "just a basketball game" is so important, but I don't bother with that, because they will probably never understand what it is like when your heart beats so hard for one team. I kept my routine of waking up until now and am planning to keep it on, as much as school allows me.

    The reason why I started to cheer for Spurs is simple - Tim Duncan. He's by far my favourite player not only in NBA, but overall. His basketball skills are amazing, but what I extremely appreciate is his personality - modest, friendly, and always puts team on the first place, not his own stats. I think he should be role model to all young children who want to become basketball players one day. I used to play basketball too (guess which number I had), but then had to stop because of the injury and couldn't find my way back.

    So as you could see, Spurs are the one and the only team I root for in the NBA, the reason is TD, but I love them for more reasons. What I like the most is their way of playing, which involves the whole team, good chemistry without any big stars who think they are the best etc. Of course players like TD, Manu and Tony are big stars, but their behaviour is far away from "I'm the best", if you know what I mean. Spurs system is based on great team chemistry, and this is what I like. In the end, basketball is a team sport, isn't it?

    I just want you to know that Spurs have huge support even here in Europe I know Tim Duncan is not going to play forever, but even when he ends his amazing career, I am 1000% sure I will stay Spurs fan until I watch NBA. And yes, I will keep on waking up in the middle of the night to see them play! Lucky you, who can watch NBA games in the evening, enjoy that! I'm jealous of you, I admit.

    PS: I hope we will celebrate this summer!

    Pics will be necessary to verify authenticity that this isn't a troll. Preferably on a beach in the French Riviera.

    Geetings Smaka, nice intro. I was born in LA, grew up a Laker fan, and jumped shipped for the same reasons you listed (besides moving to Texas in 92). Spur till I die, or until Pop extends Blair.

    Welcome!

    I am hoping (I said hoping, lol) to move back to Italy (I miss it ssoooo much!) sometime in the next couple of years. I'm already an insomniac, so those times don't sound bad to me at all.

    Ciao! Ciao! .. And again, Welcome!

    You can tape the game and watch it later. Just make sure you don't see the score beforehand.

    And welcome to the site .

    There is more than enough posters who do.

    @smaka: torej - nekaj napiši v slovenščini, samo toliko, da se prepričamo.
