San Antonio Spurs Tribute - The Beautiful Game

[ram29jackson]

uh, then what constitutes a big name player?

Parker, Duncan and Ginobili are all big name players

maybe he means Tony, Manu and Tim are small names ?

This would make sense, since those names are four or less letters each. Big names should be at least six letters long.

They play ball the way it was played when I watched multiple games a week back when I was in high school.

I love watching the fundamentals of the sport rather than the trash we see in the NBA these days. The Spurs play fundamental basketball and win without big name players.

Oh you mean the guys that are 5 years out of their prime and on the downsides of their careers? Yeah exactly.

We can talk when you know something about sports. And no baseball doesn't count.

I'm the #1 most knowledgeable NBA poster on VSN, so I won't belittle you guys for not knowing this, but Tim Duncan has been the NBA MVP twice, and is a 14 time all star. He has 4.28 MVP win shares, which is 9th most all time, and second most among active players.

That seems to meet the definition of a big name player. Buckeye needs to check his facts before posting next time, so he doesn't slam his dick in the door again.

I don't think the Spurs have ever had the most talent in the NBA.

But Buford and the boys have done a great job at keeping the talent level of the squad high, and consistently finding guys in unconventional places to make up for their lack of high draft picks or cap space.

As a Spurs fan, I would agree with that. The front office is the key to everything that happens on the court. Tim Duncan is really the only person drafted that I think most teams would have really gone after. Buford was a pioneer in going to the international leagues and finding players that fit the needs of the team at that given time.

I'm loving how everybody is suddenly an authority on the Spurs. Half of the people in this thread probably couldn't have named the "Big 3" if not for the video in the original post. ESPN would cut away from a Spurs game to show women's synchronized swimming if they got the chance but suddenly everybody on the roster is a household name

Wait, you seriously believe people don't know the names of Duncan, Manu, and Parker?

So you're saying nobody heard of Tony Parker, Manu Ginboli or Tim Duncan before this year other than Spurs fans?

What you guys have said... are some of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent responses were you guys even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul...

Bill.. this is as crazy as your adage that David Stern is out to get the Spurs!!!!

Just because ESPN ball slobs LeBron on a 24/7 basis doesn't mean the casual sports fan doesn't know who Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are. Come on man.

And how many casual fans really know the role players on any of these teams any more?

[ram29jackson]

besides all that-

any half baked NBA fan knows who Duncan is. Parker was in the news constantly purely because of who he was married to. and how many freaking times have we heard
