Haha, eeeeeeeeeasy, Anon.

Although you are generally correct about the reasons people hate the Spurs, that can be said for any team that wins consistently (i.e. Patriots, Yankees, Red Sox, Lakers, etc.). I don't fall into your "jealousy" category, however, as my favorite team is the Lakers -- pretty sure I've had plenty to cheer about over the years. I don't even hate the Spurs, and actually appreciate their brand of basketball for the most part.

This is a blog, and even YOU have to admit your Spurs are an easy target!
