Hi all, I am an Italian fresh NBA supporter!!

I am really fond of the whole NBA show which grabs my attention everyday. Now I would like to route for a team to support: since I am not living in US, and I cannot feel the spirit of the team, I must leverage on different drivers like team history, player attractiveness and super important a bright future ahead.

I would love to receive some insights from you all!!

Thanks

Points for the spurs

5 championships since 1999. Most recent in 2014 with Italian-born Marco Belinelli. If you want to dive deeper into the history, the team just put out a huge documentary series called Ring of the Rowel (a rowel is the spiky rotating part at the end of a spur) we also have the winningest coach in NBA history, Gregg Popovich.

Fairly bright future seeing as we just drafted a highly touted prospect named Victor Wembanyama. He’s 7’4 but has the skills of a guard which is very rare. He leads all players this year in terms of highlights viewed on the NBA YouTube channel or something like that.

Quick caveat

The team isn’t great right now. We’re the youngest team in the league and we’re on a ten game losing streak. We’re still in the experimental stage. But on the bright side, this is the ground floor. There’s nowhere to go but up.

Also worth noting if you're in Italy. Aint a dang chance you're catching more than 2 games live this season without staying up until dawn if you're watching the Spurs
