Two of a Kind

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Let's be fair now. Alamo is very serious about his admiration for David Robinson. Just because we may not feel the exact same way, we do not have the right to ridicule. Mandy, its just like if someone were to insult you about the way you feel about Manu. I like Manu but I am probably not as dedicated of a fan to him as you are and that is cool. I would not have the right to make fun of you because of that. You also might not react the same way to a Gino pic the way Alamo is to the DRob pic. That is ok too. Something that may offend one person does not neccessarily offend the next and we have to respect that. Alamo...bro. Its all good. While I know you would tear Sam a new one in a debate, the young brother is just trying to illustrate a point. He is asking the question about who will step up with Timmy. Although I don't know if I would ever refer to David Robinson as a sidekick. But that's me. <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>

I get it Mikey and thanks for your input but I'm not the one that should be told to "be fair". I wasn't making fun of Alamo's love of DRob...I admire it infact. But in this case he's taking it too far. It's a picture for an article. It's not disrespectful in the least. AND to just post about the damn picture and not on the actual ARTICLE (the actual ART) is ridiculous. Like Misti said...I don't think anyone of us would get so bent out of shape over a PICTURE. We all laughed at that picture made at LG of some of the Spurs as characters in the wizard of oz...and that was taking a shot at the Spurs, sam's picture isn't. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"> <!--EZCODE UNDERLINE START--><span style="text-decoration:underline"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.nba.com/allstar2005/asb/eng/ballot.html" target="top">VOTE GINOBILI 4 ALL-STAR 2005</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE UNDERLINE END--><br>

Ok, allow me to say this as unbiased and unconfrontational as possible. <br>
<br>
Alamo- you admitted yourself that you did not read the article. If you had read the article, you would have clearly seen that the intent was not to make fun of Robinson. Based on the picture alone, I could understand where your assumptions may have led you. But in order to understand it, to appreciate it, you needed to read the article like everyone else.<br>
<br>
I didn't mean to offend you, or anyone else, and I can't believe I'm actually having to explain myself. It was a picture. That was it. In fact, I dare to say that it was a clever picture, if taken in context of the article. You went and blew up on something you didn't even take the time to understand.<br>
<br>
A simple PM to me could have taken down the picture. I'm glad we're all acting like adults here. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

(and I appreciate those who have defended me/the picture/the article. That means a lot. Thanks.) <p>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br>

Good article, Sam. The idea of a group of players being the second option is right on the money. The photo doesn't bother me. Never judge a book by its cover.<br>
<br>
With all due respect to DRob, though, he wasn't the second "scoring" option in his latter years. He was still considered a star. But he was more of a defensive present in the twin tower post presence. <br>

THE PICTURE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE.<br>
<br>
It's relevant to the article. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://supergino.com" target="top"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.supergino.com/images/links/sglink3.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

If TP keeps playing like he is, he may be THE second scoring option. It's a luxery for us to have a group capable of filling that role though <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sahoops.net/jackie/blondie4spursbanner.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

I agree with you totally and I found no offense in it either. I know that you, Misti, Blondie, etc. would not have an issue with someone doing that same thing with a pic of your favorite player. Its all a matter of opinion and we have to respect other's viewpoints, even if we do not agree or see it differently. My point was that because you or I (I mean this in the general sense) do not find something offensive, does not me that someone else will share that opinion. I totally understood what Sam was trying to do and honestly believe that he did not mean any harm. In your opinion, its not disrespectful but in Alamo's opinion it is. Oh and I should have clarified...when I said "be fair" I again meant in general, not you in particular Mandy. I apologize for any misunderstanding on that. <br>

<br>
actually, its not. Sidekick is a secondary figure who accompanies a main character, while a partner is usually someone who shares the billing, as it were. <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>We few, we band of brothers.

Tony is the 2nd scoring option, period. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :wink --><img src=http://www.sahoops.net/smilies/winksmile.gif ALT=":wink"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

I don't care about the contents of the article and the link it has with the picture.<br>
I care about the championship picture on which the man who build the Spurs is dissgraced without a face and is replaced by a question mark knowing very well it is nothing on David himself.<br>
It's just the damn picture that screams dissrespect.<br>
Have some respect boy. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://nl.msnusers.com/_Secure/0OwD7d!kUbmI41zzLQ6DPI*FYQ3ceK!EAGHsn7Ds1fk822dJP8FoQFBq5*nMDTPoFUQzLb73iIzUWLmz5RhMQODGBigU7lIPm/alamo50.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Alamo, I must admit that I respect your admiration for David and standing up for what you believe in. <p></p><i></i>

I appreciate that Sick.<br>
Some people just don't understand that there might be other people around who think differently than themselves. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://nl.msnusers.com/_Secure/0OwD7d!kUbmI41zzLQ6DPI*FYQ3ceK!EAGHsn7Ds1fk822dJP8FoQFBq5*nMDTPoFUQzLb73iIzUWLmz5RhMQODGBigU7lIPm/alamo50.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
