<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Spurs are NBA chumps The champs proved one thing: they're the worst of the best By Eliav Applebaum/Sports Writer Sound the trumpets, open the drawbridge, unleash the catapults and let the ranting begin. The greatest game on this planet has been tainted by the San Antonio Spurs. I kept my cool as the news media from 206 countries tried, unsuccessfully, to hype a mediocre NBA Finals series. It felt more like a six-year old's birthday party caught on home video instead of "Clash of the Titans" at the multiplex. The Spurs aren't great. They're not even that good. They're passable. Adequate. Marginal. Boring. Insufferable. The Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan's reign would toss San Antonio into a vat of boiling water and dance in circles around the chumps before closely examining the wine list. These San Antonio Spurs are the worst NBA champions of all time. They're your 2005 NBA chumps. There. I said it. Not only were they plodding, they had less intrigue than a Ricky Williams' journal entry from a wild weekend in Miami Beach. Give me meerkats on Animal Planet. Give me horse flies mating. Give me paint drying. But don't give me the Spurs winning anything. And before I go any further into the rant, let me make this much clear: I have nothing against any of the individual Spurs personally. I enjoying taking unnecessary jabs at athletes making oodles of money for putting a little orange ball in a hoop, running up and down a 90-foot slab of wood and treating the rest of the world like a case of the bubonic plague. Cough. Latrell Sprewell. Cough. The rant is all in the name of fun. Tim Duncan has less sex appeal than Ozzy Osbourne performing his metal rendition of "Let's Get It On." Manu Ginobli reminds me of a sniveling Andy Garcia in "Oceans Eleven." I couldn't like the guy, even if he was handing me a roll of $20 bills for checking his luggage at curbside check-in. There were about 347 times during the playoffs that I felt like flicking Ginobli's ears. Tony Parker is French and he's dating Eva Longoria, two reasons to dislike him. It's freedom fries, right? Rasho Nesterovic looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy was hit with an ugly stick. Playing next to Duncan, he still couldn't keep his starting gig from ... Nazr Mohammed? All "Rash" needed to do was stand on his tippy-toes and stick his hands high in the air. The rest of the bunch? They're less distinctive than the wallpaper in the Chevron can off the I-5 in Santa Clarita. You think anybody's going to recite haiku about Beno Udrih in 20 years? Me neither. The worst part of the whole deal?<font color="Red"> Robert "Big Shot Blob" Horry </font> now has as many championship rings - six - as Jordan. What a shame. He's a schlub fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time. He's <font color="Red">played with </font> Hakeem Olajuwon, <font color="Red">David Robinson</font>, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan in their prime. These Spurs barely defeated an exhausted Detroit Pistons squad that waddled through the regular season before wheezing and stumbling through the playoffs like geriatric gymnasts. The Spurs couldn't finish Detroit at home in Game 6, a game they should have won with their eyes closed, hands tied behind their back and Bob Knight screaming obscenities in their ears. Is that the sign of a champion? That's the sign of a reluctant, weak, undeserving champion. The San Antonio Spurs deserve the 2005 NBA championship banner like Mike Tyson deserves another chance boxing on Pay-Per-View. I like the NBA. Really, I do. And I love basketball. But I want to see more teams employ the Run-'N'-Gun offense. I want attitudes, big hair, intense personal rivalries and nasty tomahawk dunks that reinvent the word "posterize." I want Kevin Garnett, after posting a triple-double on the Lakers - because nobody outside of L.A. likes the Lakers - complimenting TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager for his hideous canary-yellow suit. I want less talk, more rock. I want the NBA that I grew up watching. But what I really want for 2005-06 season... the Bulls to win it all. Hey, a man can dream. And insult the Spurs. </div> Worst team to win a championship? Lmao! and the red part, since when did robert horry play WITH david robinson? looks like this fool needs to get his facts straight. source
I guess when Big Shot Rob hit the game winner for Houston against the Spurs in the playoff and When he hit the game winner in Sac-town to move it to game seven for the Lakers to the NBA Finals was just a fluke HUH! What about game 5 in this year when he single-handedly beat the pistons. When you put a pen in a want to be writer,stupid thing not only come out of his mouth/writing but show what kind of @ss he is. Maybe he should show us what he looks like. I'm sure that we could make fun of her. "opps" of IT!
lol, this dudes funny , talking about Parker and Eva Langoria and most of his facts suck, basically its a Pistons fan of course, those are one of the reasons that I wanted the Spurs to win, because pistons fans just make me sick.

It has to be from a fan who lost to the Spurs in 7 games. Not as If the guy who wrote this is just a moron, just a bitter fan, right? I hate articles comparing past champions. Even If the Spurs are among the worse champions ever, who the hell cares. They still won it all and thats the only thing that matters. They won something that 28 other teams dreamt about heading into this year. Whee they rank in all-time champions is not important.

wow, that wasnt very funny or very nice...u french hater i hope some french dude shoves french fries and escargots (snails) up ur rear end
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">For some reason I forgot to count the Atlanta Hawks as an NBA team. Easy mistake.</div> I think this was the only funny statement I got out of reading this article. What a moron this guy is! I'm especially tired of people making fun of French people for no reason. Enough of this Fox News bullcrap French-bashing for no reason. Keep that garbage out of our forums. I personally don't come to this board for my daily dose of propaganda or intolerance or xenophobia or whatever else you want to call that nonsense. Aside from that, who's to say which champ is better than the other. This sounds like a guy who can't appreciate defense, and therefore likes to watch half of an NBA game. The 80's game spoiled us with high fliers, run and gun, and superstars with million dollar smiles galore. Not so anymore, the game has evolved, and yes, the pendulum will again swing the other way someday, but in the meantime, try to enjoy an entire 48 minute game rather than bashing teams that succeed through different means. He clearly doesn't even know what he's talking about, making up team lineups in so doing. I hope to God I'm not forced to suffer this crap again. But yeah, it's easy to forget the Hawks. I would think of the Bobcats or the Raptors before I thought of the Hawks, and that's saying something.
