dolamite Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hate the Spurs, but love Vince. VC has been my favorite NBA player ever since he won the dunk contest what seems like forever ago. With Vince now on the downslope of his career, being mainly a superstar always on a bad team I would really like to see him win a ring. I do feel Vince has a lot of ball left in him, and on the right team could push them to a title. The Spurs are one of those teams, and quite frankly giving up basically Bowen and Mason isn't over-doing it to get him by any means. Popovich is great at taking role players and polishing them into solid contributors. Bowen does have great D, and Mason is emerging as one of the best shooters in the league, but whether or not those two would have the same success on another team is yet to be determined. Vince on the otherhand you know is going to ball no matter where he goes. As for Oberto and Hill,....who really cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 ^:lol: I think I hate the Spurs more than the Yankees, Steelers, or Louisville Cardinals. Everything about them makes me want to puke. :puke: Yet another example of championship envy. :bunny: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 :lol: The funny thing is, when I was there, we beat you guys at least twice, maybe 3 times in 4 years....:sssh: :clap::ylsuper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only year in which I actually played varsity, junior year, we won. I do have to say that losing to Brossart was not as bad as losing to other schools because they handled themselves with class. Like the Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I understand. Physical, efficient, and unselfish basketball is so unappealing. :lol: :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfback20 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Actually I think you have to be able to pout and cry better than anyone else to be able to play there. I mean I've never seen guys cry more than Duncan, Manu, and Bowen in my life, and they all play for the same team. And many Spurs haters deal with this make believe "crying" with their own whining and crying. Funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill is a good young player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dolamite Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I understand. Physical, efficient, and unselfish basketball is so unappealing. Or maybe because they are a walking International team. If the NBA had its All-Star game like the NHL then it would just be NBA vs. The Spurs. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uphill Battle Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Roger Mason has hit some big shots for the Spurs this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSpikes Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 This would be a bad trade for San Antonio IMO, George Hill is going to be a great Point one day, Bowen is still a top three defender in the NBA. But Oberto is useless and Mason takes a legit 3 point shooter away from their team. Carter may help in the short term, but in the long run-like Hammertime said, would kill them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they have Parker, Duncan and Ginobili they will compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarHeel Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 With Vince being my favorite player in the NBA and probably my favorite player of all time along with "Pistol", I would LOVE to see this trade happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's top 3 either, but he is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
