if you are a true mavs fan how can you cheer for the spurs???

I was born and raised in L.A, I'm a Lakers fan first. :)

Hate of the Heat > hate of the Spurs

its funny how everyone hates the heat bc 3 good players took less money to play on the same team...

Not everyone hates them because of that.

I hate the egotistical attitudes that they have. Wade isn't as bad as Lebron and Bosh, but he it's exactly quiet either.

Play the game with respect and respect other players. It's okay to get pumped up after dunking on someone, or making them look like a fool on a fast break, but you don't have to get in their face to prove anything. Let your skills do the talking. Another reason I hate the bogus ass acting showing most of the faggits put on with the monster flops when a fly runs into them.

i think you just described every player in the league. its for entertainment...

:slap::facepalm::laughing1:

NBA Fans
 

Of course you like Miami Nic. That's where the Cubans dock and park their rafts. So I guess it okay for you. Spurs!!!

Exactly why I don't watch basketball, and why it hasn't been worth watching and paying attention to since the 90s.

You guys will have to forgive Gary's fairweather fanfare. Since moving to Texas, he's not used to be around so many people and isn't sure who to cheer for or being involved with a sport that doesn't involve peeing in the snow. lol.

Then why are you commenting on it? :shakehead:

NBA Fans
 

Been watching Basketball my whole life. Actually been a Mavs fan my whole life too. Before Cuban was ever the owner.
Also like the Supersonics as a result I'm now an OKC fan.
Always a Bulls fan. Obviously because of the Jordan/pipped days. Jordan was a Carolina boy under Dean Smith.
I hardly consider myself a fair weather fan. I'd rather see that trophy in Texas than in Miami with those I'm larger than life, greatest thing to happen to the NBA, screw ove my hometown fans by having not one, but two circus'.
Go Spurs!!!
PS I've hated Miami before the big 3. Back to the 'ZO days.

Because I want to? :shrug:

Not cheering FOR the Spurs....cheering AGAINST the Heat! :)

I've hated the Heat since that travesty that was the 2006 Finals.

ME TOO. Even Heat fans know that was a rigged, gimme championship. That shit STILL pisses me off bad.

I have relatives in California, that doesn't mean I have to suck cock!!

Lesser of two evils for the Mavs fans

Duncan took a smaller contract for the Spurs before the big 3 even came together. As did the Celtics...

As a kid it was SA (home team), the Bulls (bc of Jordan obviously) and the Rockets (close to home and for some reason I liked them when I was a kid) so I know what you're saying.

Now the list goes SA, Texas based team, then Western Conference team.

Re: NBA Fans
 

This! The whole I need a 1hr espn special to announce where I'm going to take my talents and circus / concert like introduction they had had to be the most self centered "hey look at me" thing I have ever seen. Have a press conference like the rest of the sporting world and I wouldn't have a problem with 3 big names on the same team. I really want to enjoy watching the big 3 because I'm sure it's going to go down in history as one of the best teams of all time but I can't stand people that full of themselves.

Agreed.

Too bad the "big 3" has faded into the "big 2," Bosh isn't needed on that "team." They should free up the salary room and get a big that can play D.

I personally don't pay any attention to the off court antics of the players, hype of the media and owners. It's all bullshit and big business. What matters is the amazing talents and physical abilities that some of these players possess.

As a Lakers fan the media would lead me to beleive that Kobe is the devil himself, but I don't care. He's one of the greatest players ever, someone who can truly be compared to Jordan (not surpass him of course).

I'd personally not rather get caught up in the off court nonsense that takes place because it takes away from the enjoyment of the game itself. I just rather enjoy the amazing talents that I've been able to witness over the years..Jordan, Johnson, Karreem, Bird, Kobe, Shaq, Wade, Lebron etc. Each and every superstar you can find off court fault with if you look, but who cares. They are ball players, not saints.

You forgot Duncan :shrug:

I cant think of a fault with Kevin Durant?:Whoa:

No, I didn't. Duncan is as boring as watching paint dry. I prefer dynamic players.

NBA Fans
 

Durantula is probably my favorite player in the NBA right now.

Tim Duncan = 4 rings
Allen Iverson = 0 rings

I'm just sayin.

That's why Stern hates Pop and the Spurs, fundamental basketball is no fun to watch for most, regardless of how good they've been for 16 straight seasons

Same here, he can't be guarded. He can shoot from anywhere on the floor, over any player or can drive to the hoop stronger than most. He's going to have a great career, maybe he can make his way to a team a little farther down 35!

But those were a boring 4 rings, lol

This and Duncan didn't do it by himself.

Who said anything about Iverson? I didn't.

I said I'm a Lakers fan. Now, you want to compare stats and who is more fun to watch of Duncan vs Kobe? lmao.


5 titles, just sayin..

Yea I agree the press conference was overboard and he even apologized for it. Lebron was the most hyped player to come in the league and he lived up to it IMO

I hate the Lakers, I wish I could bag on them but they'll always be a favorite, big market with big money.

And Duncan will have 5 in a few days!!

He sure has, I'm not a fan of the Heat but how anyone can hate Lebron is beyond me. The guy is simply amazing on the court, there's nothing he can't do. It's only a matter of time before he passes Kobe in the record books, I think he'll be number 2 to Jordan.

Jordan will always be number one, even if he isn't statisically.

Kobe didn't do it by himself either. Just sayin'...

He likes to over hype things it seems...

Duncan always had a supporting cast around him. I don't believe Iverson been on a good team that helped him out any.

NBA Fans
 

I don't deny that Lebron is an incredible player. I just don't care for his antics. Shut up and play. He also lacks the killer/finisher instinct that Jordan and Kobe have.

Re: NBA Fans
 

I do think hate the way he plays, he is amazing to watch just hate how he carries himself. Like I said before can't stand people that full of themselves. Yes we all know your the best in the league but you could at least act a little humbled about it

He showed that off after that block on Splitter. It was a badass block, but then he just stood there reveling about it instead of joining his team down the court on offense.

That's how all basketball ball players are when they get a block like that. So it's just not James that does that. And by the way I think that is when Miller hit a 3 pointer after that so they really didn't need James down the court anyways.

Some guys do some don't, they usually at least walk toward the other side, not that that's any better. The game doesn't take a timeout for a highlight reel! And I don't recall the play that followed but I just remember they were able to completely set up their offense and James was missing before they got a shot off. It wasn't in transition.
