San Antonio Spurs Aren’t Back, but They’re Close

San Antonio Spurs Aren’t Back, but They’re Close

It’s no secret: Throughout the current campaign, the San Antonio Spurs haven’t displayed the same dominance that keyed a convincing run to the 2013-14 NBA championship. Nevertheless, we’ve been waiting for the Spurs to and regain their title-winning form. After all, every player on the roster who logged meaningful playing time last year is still [...]

What Makes an NBA Champion?

What Makes an NBA Champion?

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

Entering his fourth season, 2014 NBA Finals MVP is up for a contract extension, and talks are going almost nowhere, according to Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski: As Kawhi Leonard holds firm on his desire for a maximum contract, extension talks with the San Antonio [...]

Spurs Expect Duncan, Ginobili, Coach Pop to be Back in 2014-15

Spurs Expect Duncan, Ginobili, Coach Pop to be Back in 2014-15

Going out as winners is for losers. Right now, anyway. Fourth title of the Big Three era in hand, the San Antonio Spurs could call it quits. Not disband as a franchise literally, but cease to exist as we know them. Tim Duncan could retire with five rings, his most recent memory that of becoming [...]

Creighton’s Doug McDermott Likes Spurs

Creighton’s Doug McDermott Likes Spurs

Doug McDermott doesn’t think the San Antonio Spurs are boring. Across casual NBA circles, the Spurs aren’t always held in high esteem. The age, boring, humdrum, they-must-be-flawed-because-they-just-must-be narratives remain overplayed and, unfortunately, prevalent. Diehards know better. Media members know better. Smart people know better. McDermott, who is preparing to enter the NBA after four years [...]

Manu Ginobili Tears Thru Bottom Of Nike Air Max Closer V During Spurs/Pistons Game

Unlike back in the 2011-12 NBA Playoffs when Blake Griffin had his Nike Hyperdunk 2011 Elite rip from the upper, Manu Ginobili actually had his foot go straight thru the bottom of the Nike Air Max Closer V (5) separating the entire sole unit of the sneaker. Manu: I'll begin playing in the new LeBron [...]

Spurs’ Danny Green: NBA Finals Memories Linger

Spurs’ Danny Green: NBA Finals Memories Linger

The San Antonio Spurs are still good, but they’re also hurting. Excuse me if I’m telling you something you already know; I just felt compelled to remind everyone. Because they’re good. Really good. Second-best-record-in-the-NBA good. A few jokesters (idiots?) probably predicted their demise. And by “probably,” I mean definitely. It happens every year. People mistake [...]

Chris Paul Sees Himself Retiring from NBA ‘Early’

Chris Paul Sees Himself Retiring from NBA ‘Early’

Chris Paul isn’t going to play in the NBA forever. No one is (I don’t think). All players have a shelf life; every single one of them. Most play until they can’t play anymore. Some walk away on top, after winning a title and/or while they still have something left. During an “HBO Real Sports” [...]
