San Antonio Spurs Tribute - The Beautiful Game

[MrBill]

Great video on the Spurs success as an organization. Magic provides the opening comments and probably the highest praise I have ever heard him give to a team outside of the Lakers.

MrBill, they play like the championship Knicks of the 70s played...a well-oiled machine.

I'm jealous of the way the Spurs run their organization.....it's the complete opposite of the shitfest we've had in NY the past 15 years.

Agreed, they do play basketball like the teams we grew up watching. There were still superstars but nobody was above the coach sitting them down if they weren't playing well or decided to go away from the game plan. I've seen interviews with past players from the Spurs saying that Timmy allowed himself to be held to account by Pop in practice and in games and that that set the tone that nobody was bigger than the team. The comment was loosely "if Pop is up in the grill of one of the best players in NBA history for his mistakes, I better get my act together and buckle down in practice and game situations if I want to stay on this roster".

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.

How many more seasons do you think TD has left in the tank Bill?

I think he is done this season if they win the title, even though he has already said he is coming back next season. Pop has said before that he retires when Timmy does so that is also looming in the future.

After the Pop/TD era is over it will be interesting to see what comes next.....it will be very tough for whoever the next coach is to follow that act

buckeye, Duncan is a big-name player, a superstar. When your superstar buys into the coach's program, it's gravy from there.

But it starts at the top - that's why the Spurs, Heat, Patriots, Steelers, Giants, Cardinals(baseball), etc., have consistent success - smart ownership and one philosophy throughout the organization.

Look at the Knicks - big market team, willing to spend, but only one playoff series win in 14 years. Their dysfunction comes from the top.

So proud to be copying the model of this franchise. Thanks for Coach Bud.

Not denying they've been dominant. Would rather watch grass grow.

I wish my team was as boring.
