[Bontemps] Dirk: “I’m not gonna lie, I used to hate the Spurs.” Said they were the “big brother” always in Dallas’ way until the Mavericks finally beat them in the playoffs, but said there was a ton of mutual respect on both sides for the way they went about competing.

Mario Chalmers said the reason he always played poorly against the Spurs is because they were always so nice to him.
Someone should
Let him know that beating them once does not make you equals
They were both absolute juggernauts. Big brother isn’t a good word for the rivalry they had at the time
Says a lot about the Spurs organization the way they said good bye to Dirk in the last game. Goosebumps moment.
Hated those le classy flopping spurs too
2006 WCSF G7 is one the best Game 7 ever
Bruce Bowen made a lot of people hate the Spurs
That is what a rivalry should be
Fierce competitors but at the end of the day you need eachother to push you to the limit
Wonder what Dirk would had said if he was gonna lie.
“Everyone was rooting for Brent to get his revenge!”
I don’t know a single spurs fan who doesn’t appreciate and respect the fuck out of Dirk.
