Hey. Hi. Hello there. Remember me? It’s been a while. In case you forgot, my name is Michael, and I’m an asshole. Ask anybody, they’ll tell you. Fortunately (or unfortunately for you, dear reader) I’m an asshole who adores the Spurs. In a completely mostly non-gay way, of course. I have enjoyed my off season as much as any terrible bartender and middling intern for a free daily newspaper possibly…
For what it’s worth, Kenny Smith ranks the Spurs best in the West, followed by Phoenix, Dallas, Utah, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles and Oakland. They really didn’t add much to their team. Why? Because the foreign legion team of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan is still the best. (Yes, Duncan is from the Virgin Islands, but they’re foreign to me!) Depth, youth and experience makes them the blueprint…
It’s been a quiet summer here at SpursDynasty.com. Besides the signing of Ian Mahinmi, the release of Vassilis Spanoulis, Tony Parker’s wedding and his play in EuroBasket (including 36 and 31 points against Italy and Slovenia, respectively), our Spurs have stayed out of the news. It’s been quiet because none of our players: stabbed a man in the neck at a Manhattan nightspot saw their father indicted for possession of…
In case you missed it, Charlie Rose interviewed Steve Nash last week. Nash talked about his career and the NBA and gave thoughtful, intelligent and articulate answers to Rose’s questions, including a few that might be of interest to SpursDynasty readers. ROSE: Who do you admire? I mean, who has skills that stun you?NASH: Well, as a point guard, I love Jason Kidd. I think he has a great feel…
From The Onion: SAN ANTONIO—Following a Spurs Sunday victory parade during which Tim Duncan regaled the crowd with uncharacteristically exuberant exclamations of “Thank you very much” and “Please, there’s no need to make so much noise,” the normally reserved power forward expressed his appreciation for his fans by speaking at length on the importance of being financially prepared in an increasingly uncertain world. “I can’t tell you how much I…
There’s really no two ways about it. I’m a horrible person. Our Spurs won their fourth championship like a week ago, and just now I’m getting around to putting my two cents in. (By the way, you’ll notice that I actually took the time to write, “putting my two cents in.” You people who think it’s a cute and clever shortcut to write, “just my $0.02″ need to be repeatedly…
Finals Game 2 Cleveland @ San Antonio: Spurs 103, Cavaliers 92 Sorry, I missed it. Sopranos were on y’ know. I flipped it on at half time, saw the boring Spurs (who wouldn’t even be in this series if the league hadn’t shafted the Suns) and just went to bed and had a nice dream about Raquel Welch. :: hits self in the face, repeatedly :: Whoops, my bad. I…
Duncan Has Parker. James Has Himself. (New York Times) James may be the N.B.A.’s brightest star and its greatest hope, but three of the four best players in this series are wearing silver and black: Duncan, Parker and Manu Ginóbili. The Spurs have all of the experience, the three crisp championship banners and a cast of role players who have been there and done that, then done it again. The…
Have you seen any of the commercials that ABC has produced for the NBA Finals? I just saw this one during “NBA Fastbreak” on ESPN. ANNOUNCER: Cavaliers. [LeBron James heads out onto the court in warm-ups.] ANNOUNCER: Spurs. [Tim Duncan removes his pullover.] ANNOUNCER: Game one. [Pyrotechnics.] ANNOUNCER: Four titles in nine years would cement Tim Duncan’s Spurs as a basketball dynasty. [Tim Duncan holds up the O’Brien trophy; Duncan…
