I don't get it. I've been a Spurs fan since David Robinson was drafted back in '89-'90. Since that time, the Spurs have never been given the credit they deserve, and most definately have earned. There is only ONE other team capable of playing at the "Championship" level that the Spurs can, and that't the Detroit Pistons.

Now I understand you guys want to see a high flying acrobatic 19 year old kid win it all, or mabye even the young spark people are now calling the "flash". But get real! So long as Tim Duncan remains in the league, and the Wallace brothers stay together, we're looking at the next 2 or possibly 3 NBA Finals.

For those of you who think San Antonio is a boring, knock down, drag out team only capable of scoring in a half court set, think again. Look at the scoring output San Antonio has unleashed against the leagues TOP scoring team! Not only in the playoffs, but during the regular season! With Ginobli, and Parker to help lighten some of the load for Duncan, the Spurs are headed to the championship game like a frieght train.

If Ginobli and Parker's electrifying moves don't excite you, there's something wrong. If you can find nothing else to like the Spurs for, then look no further than the silver and black they wear night in and night out. Some of the coolest looking jerseys there are. So go down to the store, buy a few jerseys, and revel in the fact that you were converted BEFORE everyone else. Because when they win it all, you'll see the bandwagoners hop on for the glory ride.

Peace!!
