Spurs...2k3...NBA Champions!
#3
i met david robinson at an ihop restaurant during his rookie year. i waited until he finsished eating and paying and then i got his autograph...he was really nice about it...as i heard he often was in such matters.

anyway, as a young boy growing up in san antonio, i had posters of him, his basketball cards (including his rookie card), jersies, etc... my favorite spurs line-up included: david robinson, sean elliot, terry cummings, willy anderson, vinny del negro and avery johnson (i know that's six..terry wouldn't usually start)...the big dog, antoine carr, was cool too...lol.

after spurs games at hemisphere arena/alamo dome (god-knows-where now), david and terry would lead a prayer session w/ the fans if you chose to stay (win or lose)....it was touching to be there...because there was an honesty about it...the cameras were gone, marv albert was gone, sponsers were gone...just the players and the fans would remain to worship...i've never been religous but it seemed like a decent thing to do for the community.

anyways, the year i moved to utah, they aquired tim duncan...i'm glad they did...i didn't want to see david end up like recently retired utah jazz star john stockton (also a good guy btw); w/o a championship ring. and now, i am happy that he has a going away "present" to mark the end of an exceptional career...

btw cloud, please encourage the spurs to pick up karl malone too...i offer to pack his bags every year, but god damnit he's still in a jazz jersey at the start of the season.^_^.
