if you love the NBA experience, you'll still be unconvinced

Fair enough. I grew up in San Antonio, and watched the ABA Spurs play in Hemisphere Arena.

It is not so much that I love the NBA experience, but heh, the Spurs make the playoffs(or better) every damn year.

Except for the one season before we fired that freak Rodman, the Spurs have always been low key, gentlemanly ball players.

It’s true. What the Spurs have been able to do out of little San Antonio is amazing. It’s like Buffalo being in the hunt year after year in football.

The only thing I can think of that’s close is maybe Oakland in baseball. One of the lowest payrolls in the MLB, in a festering toilet of a city, and all they do is make the playoffs every year.

Couldn't agree more. Tim Duncan impresses me. He's a low key, articulate gentleman. And opposed to a great many other players in the league, has near perfect diction. Though not a Spur, David Robinson is another person cut from the same cloth.
