[El Torito]

Seems like Kent Alterman, the director of "Semi-Pro" reflected on his memories watching the San Antonio Spurs during their ABA hey dey:

So does that mean Farrell's character is based on David Robinson? You are welcome Spurs fans!!!

So does this mean Semi-Pro will be as boring as watching a Spurs game?

(I know, cheap shot, but I just couldn't resist)

considering that the aba spurs were the ones who brought the slam dunk and 3 point shot to the nba, i wouldnt exactly call them boring.

I don't know many players as exciting to watch as Manu. His passes are unbelievable. Especially that one where he bounce passed it from the sideline at halfcourt on the run, through his defender's legs, and hit Tony in stride in the lane for a layup.

Damn, that's boring.

 

[hornfan_82]

exactly. manu and parker are two of the more exciting players in the league. duncan can be fun to watch as well.....if you appreciate that style of basketball.

most of the star players on whatever team you root for are fun to watch.

And, the ABA Spurs were fun to watch when they were the Dallas Chapparrals...they could hang 130 on you on any given evening.

Hook'em!!!

Yes, it's much more fun watching loser teams like the Mavs and Rockets.

GO SPURS GO!!

69, I was living in Dallas when the Chaparrals were playing and you're absolutely right! They were fund to watch and I hated to see them leave. And when Doug Moe was the coach in SA, it was the same type of BB - run and gun - more fun again.
