You mean like Robert Horry?
 
I acknowledge that the Spurs are currently the best team in the NBA.  They are slightly better than the Phoenix Suns.  I say this because if the Suns were truly better, they never would have gotten behind in that series, and they wouldn\'t have let the outcome be decided by a few calls / noncalls / suspensions / etc.
 
HOWEVER, you must acknowledge that the Spurs got a little help along the way from David Stern when he suspended Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw in game 5.  The fact that the Spurs made it to the Finals instead of being eliminated in the 2nd round was not entirely due to their own abilities.  They had a little assistance from the league at a critical moment.

How can it be the NBA\'s fault that America doesn\'t like the Spurs? Do you want the NBA to decide on the most entertaining teams to go to the finals instead of letting them play it out? I don\'t know what to make from that comment.

Entertainment today seems to be big-headed players (Kobe or Shaq) or ones that start fights with people. The Spurs are the best example of teamwork and ego-less basketball. But since America could care less about those qualities they will always get low ratings.


No, the cavs are way in over their fucking heads which means the games are absolutely heartbreaking to watch.
Wrong. There are two other people who can.

MBP: Most Band-wagoning Player
 
 
It is such a huge shame that Robert Horry will go down in the history books as the player with the most championships than anyone non-Celtic. One of the greatest travesties in this scenario is that Robert Horry will have more championships than one of the greatest, if not the greatest, basketball players to have ever played the game in Michael Jordan. Throw Scottie Pippen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, or even the Celtic Larry Bird into the mix, and Robert Horry can claim that he has out-ringed all these great players. Robert Horry is the worst player ever to be named into the category of \'Most Championships Won\', as he isn\'t even a tenth of the skill, talent, or will of any of the preceding players mentioned above. It is ridiculous. That is why Full Court has decided to award Robert Horry with the MBP, in recognition that no other player in the next century will be able to even closely mimic what Horry has achieved. Robert Horry jumps from team to team and analyzes his prospects very well. If he doesn\'t see a championship in the team\'s future within the next 3 years, he will throw a towel in the face of his coach, get himself suspended, and be traded to another team more to his liking. It was evident that Horry felt the foreboding of a Laker-team-meltdown, so he swam in the free agent pool and found himself in the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. What a genius. Robert Horry now has 7 championship rings, one more than Michael Jordan.

First off, Robert Horry left LA because they didn\'t want him. He played like shit against the Spurs so they let him go. Second, bash him all you want but everyone knows they would have him attempt that game-winning shot for their team.

What a waste of time to write an article so long.
