San Antonio Spurs -1999-2007 NBA Champions

I've been a Spurs fan since David Robinson was drafted by the team back in 1989. Prior to that, I had no allegiance to any other team. That five-year-old in me really believed that I would be in position to see my favorite player, and team, win championships. Sadly, that wasn't the case for many years.Sure the Spurs improved greatly with David, but a couple years before Duncan came along, the team was the laughing stock of the league again. But when Tim Duncan was drafted, there would be no more embarrassment and only Ws. Thus the title runs began!Here, in this 8 volume, 16 disc set, you can relive the San Antonio Spurs 16 NBA Finals wins that labeled them a dynasty and the team of the last ten years!These are the 16, commercial-free, wins in their four NBA Finals trips. Each game will run, approximately, two hours in length with coverage at the beginning, and a quick re-cap at the end, of each game.However, this set, I feel has a disappointing area in it...what happened to the awesome Spurs players' entrances? I can remember the stunning visuals and music from all four Finals appearances and the 2005 and 2007 entrances are the ones that stick out the most, for me, as being the entrances with the best visuals and music. Everything else is included, but why not the awesome entrances?I also wish that there was a bonus disc, or some extras added on to each disc, with players and coaches talking about their season that year and that specific Finals appearance.The 8 volumes come in a very great-looking case but it's only made of really thin stock cardboard. It would have been nice if it was made of much thicker stock.One more minor gripe, why couldn't we also get the games in which they lost? We, fans, know what the outcome of each NBA Finals appearance was so we wouldn't mind seeing the games in which they lost. The reason for getting those games, as well, is to fully experience those three Finals appearances in which they lost, at least, one game. It would completely bring us back to the 1999, 2003, and 2005 seasons.But having just the 16 games in which they won is a blessing in and of itself. It's an excellent addition to your four Spurs championships DVDs that the NBA releases a month after each championship. These games will take you back to the glory years of 1999, 2003, 2005, and, just recently, June of 2007! This is a MUST-HAVE set for your Spurs fan and, with Christmas right around the corner, it'll make a great gift! Hopefully, this isn't the last we're going to see of future Spurs championship sets!GO SPURS GO!

I want to inform buyers interested in this set to be careful in you're interested in watching each entire Spurs championship series. I started watching my series for the very first time and when i purchase it I was hoping that I was getting each entire championship series and I was very much surprise! In details, the Knicks series, I'm missing game 3. Piston series, I'm missing games 3,4,& 6. Nets series, I'm missing 2 & 4 and Cleveland series is complete . As a Spurs fan, this collection does not have commercials and it does have the originality of halftime features and comments. Why I purchase it because I'm a huge Tim Duncan fan from Atlanta and I watch Tim as he played for Wake Forrest in the ACC. I often travel to SA to watch many games and I have travel to Memphis to watch the Spurs in the 2011 playoff series and I would have travel to SA for game 7. Watching these series of a young Tim Duncan, many would look back and be amazed of his abilities, his basketball IQ and how happy Number 50 was to have TD at his side and how Tim Duncan was a absolute quality for the Spurs. I believe coach Pop took away many years of NBA championship for SA if he only would have paired TD with another player with similar basketball traits and superb abilities. This is a great collection item, however, it missing the complete collection of a great basketball player the world have ever witness in Tim Duncan and of all the bad talk about Tim aging, I see no reason for any fan of SA to say bad things of him after all he have given SA that no other player in SA history ever done---four Championships. I rate this collection as a five because of the great quality and the professionalism of putting this collection together. However, the missing games and the history of a wonderful collection for Spurs fans to enjoy is no excuse. This collection is a must have and Tim Duncan is the baddest and the greatest power forward that have ever played in the history of the NBA. I hope to be in SA to witness his final farewell and I hope it's after winning 3 to 4 more championship rings.

good movie from the good old days. worth watching. Played [perfectly. Was shipped fast and in good condition.

Having been born in San Antonio, I was intrigued when I saw this on cable and wanted to have the DVD. These are very interesting stories. My Wife and I stayed at the Menger Hotel, but didn't encounter anything out of the ordinary other than the couple next door "making noise." (We presume they were alive and not ghosts, but who knows?) I was surprised that in this documentary they didn't speak about the story of the children who were killed when a train hit a school bus in San Antonio. Some people claim that if you stop on the tracks at the crossing and put your car in neutral, the children's ghosts will push your car off the tracks. (My boss tried it and it didn't work.) Others claim that spreading flour at that spot will cause little footprints to inexplicably appear. I don't believe in ghosts, but it's fun to hear the history.

Released during Christmas Week of 1945, this big-budget Technicolor Western with Errol Flynn (whose previous film had been the gritty black-and-white war film "Objective, Burma!" released the previous winter, 5 months before the fall of Berlin) was Hollywood's essential celebration of the end of World War 2.Pay special attention to the main villain's Hitler-like mustache, and the vaguely "fascist/Nazi" style architecture, and bunker-like surroundings, at the heroic conclusion of the film, and it's full-blown celebratory Texas/American triumphalism. Just two years later, in the wake of the horrific revelations of Nuremberg and The Holocaust, the cynicism of a new and pessimistic Hollywood genre would be born: "film noir."

Like the story, actors and Errol Flynn.
