Yeah.............that was lame. Bron didn't even "leave" yet :facepalm

[Just2McFly]

San antonio has the wackest shit ever

[Milbuck]

This constant stream of anti-Heat propaganda from that city/organization is getting real old, real fast. Anything beyond this is pretty pathetic on their end. I have a ton of respect for just about everything Spurs-related, but seriously, take your trophy and shut the **** up.

[Rodmantheman]

San antonio has the wackest shit ever

yup

[stalkerforlife]

:roll:

The old man Spurs are still giving it to Bron.

LeDAMN.

1-1 in the Finals vs the Heat and Lebron hasnt even left yet.

Calm down.

Your irrational hate is so retarded.

The Spurs did more in 6 years than the Knicks have throughout their entire tenure. Let that sink in.

[aboss4real24]

Care to elaborate?

he's better than every player to ever put on a spurs jersey

wat is there to elaborate ?

[Derka]

Stupid-ass billboard considering we don't know where Lebron will end up.

[jstern]

That's not classy, for whoever put that billboard, and promotes their best asset to other teams. So I wouldn't put such billboard.

Had to tank to do it , no dignity

[JT123]

Spurs fans keep on proving they are the least classy in all of sports. Let us count the ways
Starting "Lebroning" after Lebron suffers a serious injury
Making a "bought not built" billboard cause they were bitter about the previous season's Finals
And now this pathetic shit :facepalm

I didn't see Heat fans taking classless jabs at Duncan after winning last year, probably cause they actually have class.

[T_L_P]

Rigged draft for Ewing, signing a big name free agent is worse than tanking.

Clear Channel put the board up...nobody in the organisation would have wanted them put up.

Also, there's a reason they weren't taking jabs at Duncan. Like it or not, he's among the most respected players in the league. LeBron just does everything the wrong way.

[lakerHater]

I dont like it!
San Antonio is better than that!

.... what happens if James takes his talents to south texas!? Or what if that billboard blew the chance at him?

[J Shuttlesworth]

lol whoever made that Billboard clearly doesn't know what opting out is

[edrick]

It must be so difficult for Duncan to remain loyal to one of the best franchises over the last 15 years. :rolleyes:

[Marchesk]

Shouldv put Lebron>Spurs history

wouldv been a true statement

5 > 2?

Duncan and Lebron both top 10. Then you have the Admiral and the Iceman to go with Parker and Ginobli.

SA > Lebron and it's not even close.

[Smook A.]

People hating on the whole city, and every fan just because a couple guys put up a billboard.

[SCdac]

CLEAR CHANNEL is trolling Lebron, and using SA to do it. Pretty cheap jabs at Lebron.

Either way, I'm partial to this sign I saw while driving a week ago

Loyalty would include not fcuking men behind your wife's back or not fcuking your team mates wife.

The former is just BS...do you seriously believe everything media sites tell you?

Stop pinning this on Duncan/Parker/Spurs.

You're a 'tard if you think they commissioned this. The Spurs organisation has the upmost respect for LeBron and the Heat.

All those Duncan stories said he was having an affair with someone he went to college with...they posted a picture of Duncan and Mengke Bateer together and said that's who the guy was, even though Bateer was in China when Duncan was in college.

You're being trolled son.

[TMT]

:oldlol: at all the negative backlash from ISH. Lebron can't even opt back in with the team that got him to 4 Finals and 2 rings. The guy has to "test the waters" and let everyone in the league know to make their pitch and start moving their assets to get him. This could not be a more appropriate and politically correct billboard.

How do you know he's not opting out to restructure his contract? Wouldn't be surprised if Bosh/Wade do the same... but leave it up to haters like TMT to make all the assumptions that opting out means he's trying to leave Miami

According to Windhorst he's already prepared to meet with several teams that are pitching to him. :facepalm Why else would he opt out 6 days before he had to? He's sending a message to the league. Stop being ignorant. You're better than that.

[BasedTom]

Texans are not known for being the most graceful or humble people.

I'll leave it at that.

[pauk]

Only if the loyalty comes with royalty, if not then its actually meaningless, except for the fans of that specific team... because at the end of the day its royalty that gets you up the mountain top, not loyalty... if Lebron stayed with Cleveland he would be perhaps more liked, but he would not sniff a championship, until he retired, he certainly would not end up top 10, which he already is by now....... however if he was in Spurs like Duncan im sure he would be just as loyal and even more royal... Loyalty in the NBA amongst such magnitude of players like especially Kobe/Lebron/Jordan whatever doesnt exist, it happens by pure luck of circumstances/situations, meaning having a supporting cast required enough to contend for/win championships, thats the only thing they care about.... and if no sign of progress every season towards that goal doesnt come in 7 straight years, the patience runs out especially when they at that exact time become free-agents/opt-out and see a situation that is completely set for him to immediately start achieving his goals....

So with that being said, Spurs fans... it might not be Duncans loyalty that kept him with Spurs his entire career, it might be the Spurs very strong championship driven amendment that did....

[aboss4real24]

Im tired of the TD/Spurs hype

they beat a team that was flawed that shouldnt have even been in the finals

nuthn special at all

[Legends66NBA7]

Had to tank to do it

David Robinson got injured twice. Chuck Person missed the whole season. More than half way through the season they had a losing season and there was nothing they could do make the playoffs. They certainly didn't go into the season to tank like the Celtics did in that same season.



they beat a team that was flawed that shouldnt have even been in the finals

So who should have been in the Finals vs the Spurs ?

[Keno]

what a classy organization /s. only if lebron had the luxury of being drafted to a hall of famer and hof coach. maybe, just maybe he would have stayed with the cavs.

Good luck having an offensively struggled team beat the Spurs

[T_L_P]

Popovich was close to getting fired in 98/99. Stop acting like Duncan fell into Phil Jackson's arms. Popovich was a nobody when Duncan entered the league.

You should talk about classy though. You through everyone under the bus not named LeBron, including the guy who owned his soul in the Finals, and you'll probably be a Cavs fan in the coming months.

What a fgt.

I don't agree with the hate LeBron got when he left the Cavs. Promising them a title and "The Decision" were two of the dumbest things I've ever seen, but he had every right to leave that poverty franchise. But potentially leaving a team that you went to four straight Finals with, especially after promising them more championships? Bonehead ring chaser, tbh.

[TMT]

The Spurs put up 105ppg on the defending champs. The Pacers struggled to break 80 on a nightly basis. Please stop posting.

[aboss4real24]

wouldnt matter becuase the spurs would struggle to score on them

and the tempo will b slow because thats how chi plays

every game would be in the 80s very low 90s , which would favor the bulls

and the bulls were 4 0 vs the spurs frum 2010-2012(thats wen rose played)

[Swaggin916]

Shouldv put Lebron>Spurs history

wouldv been a true statement

That's a culture based phenomena due to the NBA and the media hyping the living crap out of individual players. While casual fans will only remember names, true followers will remember how great of a team performance the Spurs put on.

[J Shuttlesworth]

People said the same shit about Bulls vs. Heat in 11, and we all remember how that worked out.

Rose would get shut down by Leonard, and I don't think the Bulls could stop the onslaught of ball movement and 3's that the Spurs bring to the table. Either way, it's irrelevant because Rose is injured and will probably never be the same player again.

[Kungfro]

and the bulls were 4 0 vs the spurs frum 2010-2012(thats wen rose played)

The Nets were 4-0 against the heat this year, and we all saw how that went. Your crazy if you think a win record from 2-3 years ago during the regular season means anything.

Woulda,coulda, shoulda, people don't accept when us Spurs fans talk about game 6, or 2006, or .04 seconds, so we don't need to accept it from you. You questioned the Spurs competion, fact is they beat the other two best teams in the league OKC and the Heat. Are they to blame that they are so effective right now and beat Miami so bad? That just shows what a great "Team" they are. Oh and the Spurs were 0-4 against OKC this year we saw how that turned out.

[Legends66NBA7]

Yup.

Besides, didn't the Bulls have a winning record against the Heat from 10-14 in the regular season ?

Went 2-8 in the playoffs against them in the same time period.

First of all why are they even putting Duncan in the same billboard as LeBron like saying Duncan's team is better than LeBron's team?

Duncan was a role player. Thats like putting Joel Anthony's face and Westbrooks face in the same billboard after the 2012 finals

Duncan as a role player > LeBron as a star. Winners just win, and LeBron is not one of them.

Didn't LeBron JUST win against Duncan LAST finals?

[T_L_P]

Didn't LeBron JUST win against Duncan LAST finals?

Yes, but I'm talking a Russell/Kareem/Duncan like winner.

Of course LeBron is a top 10 player, and he'll probably go down as the best player since Jordan. But his stans acting like he even has a case over Duncan or Shaq right now are absurd. And calling Duncan a role player is even more stupid.

Then again, the people who are calling Duncan a role player are just doing it to call Wade and Bosh one.

Depends what you mean by "a case".

If you mean accolades count, then no. LeBron has no case. Duncan has 10 accolades and LeBron has 8. We all know math. We know that 10 is more than 8. 8 has no case for being more than 10.

2014 playoffs

Parker 17.4 pts / 4.8 assts 48.6%FG
Duncan 16.3 pts / 9.1 rebs / 1.9 assts / 1.3 blks 52.3%
Leonard 14.3 pts / 6.7 rebs / 1.7 assts / 1.7 stls 51%
Manu 14.3 pts / 3.3 rebs / 4.1 assts 43.9%

Neither Duncan nor Westbrook is a ROLE player. If Duncan's a role player, then all Spurs are role players. If you consider his importance anchoring the defense, then Duncan was the most important player on the Spurs during the playoffs.

Yeah, that's pretty much the point we're all making. The entire team are top notch role players.

[miles berg]

he's better than every player to ever put on a spurs jersey

Except that Duncan fella. You seem to have forgotten one of their players, the guy with 5 titles and a 11-5 record in the Finals against LeBron.

You know, the best player at his position in history, best player since Jordan, and the guy that on top of all of that didn't leave his small market team when others (Boston/Orlando) came calling...unlike LeBron.

Hey I'm a Mavs fan that looks for any reason to hate on the Spurs but that billboard, much like Tim Duncan, is more awesome than words can describe.

[Legends66NBA7]

the guy that on top of all of that didn't leave his small market team when others (Boston/Orlando) came calling

I don't remember Boston offering him a deal. Is there an old link to this ?

I know they had the best chance in the 97 lottery to get the #1 pick because they legit tanked their season, but I didn't remember them trying to sign him in the off season too.

[GimmeThat]

how would the fans react if the guy decides to stay, but lets say he "retires" for a few years until Pat Riley rebuilds the team and makes it competitive. Come back on minimum to not affect the payroll, then get bird right signed maximum.

Just curious.

[T_L_P]

Yeah, that's pretty much the point we're all making. The entire team are top notch role players.

That's probably the reputation the Spurs carry, but when you look at the stats and the impact, there's no way they are role players.

A role player is a guy who gives you anywhere from 5-20 minutes off the bench, and they have a very one dimensional role.

Duncan lead the Spurs in minutes, was the second best scorer and defensive anchor, as well as on-court leader, and he's a high-end role player? If Duncan is a role player so is Faried, Nene, Gortat, Igouldala, Klay Thompson, Wade, Rubio. And he still has a bigger impact than any of those guys.

Duncan was second in Win Shares this postseason, behind only LeBron.

If you can name me another role player who did that, I'll believe what you say.

Address the rest of my post if you're being serious. Name me someone else who was a consistent 15-20 point scorer, defensive anchor on one of the best defenses in the league, team's on-court leader, second in Playoff Win Shares, and was a role player.

Stop with your idiotic one sentence responses. Provide some evidence that those guys are role players. Provide me some evidence that Tim Duncan is one. Or Marc Gasol. Or peak Kenyon Martin. Or peak Bill Laimbeer.

1.) Not even from America

2.) Nothing insulting about being called a C, but Duncan isn't one...and you can't provide a good case.

3.) If they are role players it should be easy to explain why, and yet you can't. What you're basically saying is Marc, Pau, Z-Bo are all role players too. Again, equally absurd.

Your grasp of the game is awful. There are levels and tiers: not just stars and role players. Duncan isn't a superstar anymore, but he's way more than a role player. Danny Green is the prototypical role player - not a guy who can score a fifth of his teams points and anchor the defense.

[T_L_P]

Now that I think about it peak K Mart is probably better than peak Duncan

Which, in turn, makes him better than peak LeBron.

LeBron practically just got swept by a team full of role players. Now that's bad. :oldlol:

Because a "role player" isn't an actual thing. I can't provide evidence to factually prove something that doesn't exist. :hammerhead:

They're "role players" because that is the phrase we use to describe players of their skill/value.

As for "providing a case" for Duncan being a center. What case is there to be made? He plays center. There's no matter of opinion about it. It's what he does.

Of course you can. Danny Green is a role player. He provides a solid 20 minutes with the starting lineup, is expected the hit open 3s, and stay in front of his man. His role is to play within the offense, and not handle the ball very much.

That's his role. It's a pretty basic one, and he does it incredibly well.

Now, please do the same for Duncan...and you'll come to the conclusion that he is not a role player.

Why should I apply YOUR definition of "role player" to Duncan? Who the fcuk are you? Who decided "expected to hit open 3s" is a mandatory requirement for "role player"?

Duncan is gay.

Oh, man. That is funny.

Duncan is his team's second leading scorer, defensive anchor and on-court leader. He's closer to a star than a role player. You've been added to my ignore list. Have a good one. :cheers:

Clear Channel are ruining American culture, and more and more people are getting tired of their shit. Appeasing San Antonio with this billboard might earn them a few points with people, but really, they're just horrible-and it has nothing to do with basketball.

Clear Channel put the board up...nobody in the organisation would have wanted them put up.

Also, there's a reason they weren't taking jabs at Duncan. Like it or not, he's among the most respected players in the league. LeBron just does everything the wrong way.
Yes.

Should've included 5/6 > 2/5

I head there's a lot of Mexicans in San Antonio. That's what I heard. Heard it through the grapevine. Yup. Good ol' grapevine. That's where I heard it from. Heard it through a vine of grapes. Concord. Purple. Good juice.

I thought the spurs were a very humble team and classy winners that dont rub it in.....

[houston]

Lebron still going to go down greater than him....so it no big deal lol

Don't be an idiot bro.

If you seriously think Holt or Pop or RC commissioned this, I really don't know what to say.

Texans in general are known for that type of low class behavior. The Dallas Cowboys are still hated even though they haven't won shit since the 90s. Why? Because "America's Team" is just that unbearable. I don't think we have to deal with something like that with these Spurs, but you never know with people.

But it's clear that the Spurs players, staff, and organization have nothing to do with this incident in particular.

ma bad ma bad. :facepalm

ma bad ma bad. :facepalm

No problem.

Except that Duncan fella. You seem to have forgotten one of their players, the guy with 5 titles and a 11-5 record in the Finals against LeBron.

You know, the best player at his position in history, best player since Jordan, and the guy that on top of all of that didn't leave his small market team when others (Boston/Orlando) came calling...unlike LeBron.

Hey I'm a Mavs fan that looks for any reason to hate on the Spurs but that billboard, much like Tim Duncan, is more awesome than words can describe.

One of Lebron's rapper friends need to fire back with a money > bitches billboard with duncan's ex-wife on it.

This guy says Kobe was a Mario Chalmers level player in 2000. Don't take him seriously.

According to Windhorst he's already prepared to meet with several teams that are pitching to him. :facepalm Why else would he opt out 6 days before he had to? He's sending a message to the league. Stop being ignorant. You're better than that.


Not trying to take a jab or anything. You need to find better sources than that. Brian Windhorst may have history with LeBron but most of his articles are utter BS and once something is said he makes up some thing else. I wouldn't take him seriously.
