That's exactly why I like Duncan. No flash, no cockyness, he just plays ball and in the end that's what it's all about. I hate the Lakers because of their personalities...I rooted for San Antonio because they gave me no reason to dislike them.

You serious?

All basketball players play proper ball, but everyone needs some personality regardless of what your job is. It makes it more fun for viewers and basketball starts themselves. Imagine if no one in the WWE had no personality, that would really suck. If Triple H wasn't the game, if the Rock didn't act like the people's champ, or if Stone Cold wasn't such a bas ass, the WWE wouldn't be as fun. Sure, you can't compare the WWE to the NBA, but seeing Kobe perform some awesome dunks or seeing Shaq complete the alley hoop is what makes the game fun for everyone.

I never see Tim Duncan scream, perform some cool moves, or even do something different than going in the paint and shoot. At least Shaq dunks like a wild animal to open everyone up. This is my opinion, and this is coming from someone who actually plays basketball, every team needs some personality.

I've played basketball too, so don't get all "this is coming from someone who actually plays basketball on me"...I think I admire Duncan because he has a personality more similar to mine. I'm calm and subdued, you don't need to yell or scream or make some funny face, or be a dick to be entertaining. I find all the double-doubles Tim puts up entertainment enough. I suppose we just see things different ways.

You've played basketball too?

Wow...

Why are you getting all offended? No one in the NBA acted like a dick, except for Rodman, and he was an asshole. The Lakers don't have any of that crap, they just have personality that makes watching them fun. And just to let you know, I am serious about my game and I am no phycho when I play, just like every team, but watching the Spurs do the same thing over and over just bores me to death.

That's how I see it.

No, I said "wow..." because you got all offended by me saying "this is coming from someone who plays basketball".

So fine, let's get back to the season...

Im sure everybody in this thread prolly plays ball... i for one play ball and see that you have pretty low ball IQ to think that the lakers dont have any bad personalities for one ... The lakers are good dont get me wrong but they're not a shoe in for the title... minesota has got a legit shot at the title Cassel, Sprewell, Sczerbiak (sp?), KG, and olowakandi ... is a pretty damn good team. Kings and mavs too and spurs ofcoarse.
