Bowen evil? Horry cheap shot? well in this era of sissy NBA basketball perhaps.....but in the 80s they wouldn't even sniff the level of violence that was the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons. Bulls.......and definitely not the violence that was the 90s Knicks and Heat.
I like how you single out Duncan for whining, when ever single one of these millionaire prima donna's puts on an Oscar performance with their whine after every play.....if the call didn't go their way or if it went against them. Every NBA player has become nothing but an incessent whiner.
As for Manu flopping, he hardly flopped during this season....Oberto actually became our top flopper...but the league is filled with people that flop as much if not more....Fisher, Bell, Paul, Ben Wallace, Dirk, and the list goes on and on. Every game I watch, players are throwing themselves on the floor. But this has been going on at least since the early 80s. It isnt new at all. It is just popular the last few years to call it out as flopping. The Celtics coach Doc Rivers made a career out of flopping. So did Mo Cheeks, Dennis Rodman, Kurt Rambis, Stockton, Malone, Reggie Miller, etc.
The Spurs are pure class....you can try and argue all you want, but they built this thing the right way. They run it the right way. Their players win and lose with humility. They don't talk trash. They don't make excuses, except to blame themselves, while giving the opponent props. They stay out of trouble off the court and do many positive things within the San Antonio community.
So no more basketball in this thread.....this is a football thread. This version of Dallas reminds me of the Chan Gailey Cowboys......very talented, gets to the playoffs but so far no success, and staying out of trouble off the field.
