I’ll have to take these sentiments by Bramlet in order so I don’t lose my train of thought… First and foremost, I have to declare that I am 99.9% certain that at no time this season or any subsequent seasons will you ever catch me pining for ‘Sho or T-Rex. They both had their moments of… well greatness isn’t the word certainly, but let’s just say moments of adequateness. In…
Elizabeth White writes for the Associated Press: Spurs guard Tony Parker said Friday the finger he broke last month while preparing for the world championships is “100 percent.” “I’m fully healed, 100 percent, the bone is back to normal,” Parker said. “The doctors told me I can go as hard as we can and practice normally.” “Everybody’s got to go through Dallas until somebody beats them,” Spurs general manager R.C….
Hi. Hello there! Like the other three amigos on SpursDynasty, I feverishly follow the last honorable professional sports club in America. Why do I like them? Well, I just kinda sorta climbed aboard the David Robinson train in 1989. (Please note that the phrase “climb aboard the David Robinson train” would take on a decidedly different meaning among NBA groupies from 1990-1993.) I liked that a 7 foot dude could…
Thanks to Sloan, our resident Mavericks fanatic, for passing along Bill Simmons’ hilarious take on NBA players trade value. I especially got a kick out of Simmons’ World Cup digression. We’ve played the same game ourselves, asking, which NBA players would do well in soccer? Manu Ginobili comes to mind, as does Steve Nash. In fact, I think that their games have a lot to do with the fact they…
Dave D’Alessandro writes in the Sporting News: If memory serves, this season was supposed to be about the Spurs’ coronation — as what, we may never know. A team for the ages, perhaps. Or maybe the last great dynasty until a new era of parity sets in. Or at least “Team of the Decade,” given that they could have been going for their fourth straight championship this spring, if not…
I’m not the only one who thinks the US should have better athletes playing soccer. Neither am I alone in thinking that soccer players are revolutionizing the way basketball is played in the US. Imagine if Americans were able to do for World Cup soccer what Europeans have done for the NBA? Here in America, a German was marking basketball with a kind of creative progress. And there in Germany,…
After the Spurs went down 3 games to 1 in their series with the Mavericks, most of the sports media wrote them off. We here at SpursDynasty had our doubts, but never lost faith. And now that the series has gone to 7, fate and the odds are back on the Spurs side. The dynasty continues. NBA teams are 77-17 at home in Game 7s Starting with the 2001 postseason,…
Newsworthy? Not really, but this stuff is interesting as long as Eva sticks with Tony Parker. Eva Longoria tops Maxim’s seventh annual “Hot 100″ list of the most successful women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion for the second year in a row. “I was actually really shocked last year when I made the list,” said the 31-year-old Longoria, who ranked No. 91 on the 2004 roster. “So 91…
I know there are people out there reading this who think they’re Spurs fans. You go to some games, you own a Spurs shirt or two and maybe even a jersey, you cheer good plays, you read some articles. (And you obviously haven’t taken the SpursDynasty Purity Test.) Let me break this to you gently: If the Spurs are eliminated from the playoffs tonight by the _allas motherfucking Mavericks, it’s…
It was a great game last night … Should Dallas win again, fans might be disappointed to see the series end. Expectations have been building since it became obvious in December this would be a second-round matchup, and four games later it’s close to being a classic. This was the third one decided at the end, the first that required overtime. It’s been exhilarating to watch the two best teams…
