If you could bring back one ex-spur from the Tim Duncan Era...

[SPURS21]

Who would it be? Outside of the obvious choice of David Robinson and keep in mind our current needs.

I'd have to vote for Stephen Jackson. He's long, athletic, a solid defender and a fierce competitor. Oh and he's a balla!

Noteworthy:
Sean Elliott
Hedo Turkoglu

[WildcardManu]

Captain Jacko

[HarlemHeat37]

either Stephen Jackson or a prime Robert Horry..

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

[romad_20]

Kevin Willis and those badass elbow pads.

[MaNu4Tres]

Malik Rose of from the 2001-2003 era....or Nazr from 05

[Sean Cagney]

Jackson!!!!!!! In 03 Mode. I would bring back Lik too from the earlier days for his hustle and grit.

[romad_20]

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/img/03-07/0330willis.jpg

Boo yaa!

I like Jackson, but Sean a close second.

[milkyway21]

SJax. He looked at home here from what I saw last week after the game...

or Hedo too but I don't think he'd be that interested to return

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jax every time.

Second, '05 Horry.

[ShoogarBear]

If we have to keep in mind our current needs like you said, it would be Horry or Hedo over SJax.

It would have been bad-ass to have Jack in the Laker series last year, though.

[benefactor]

Capt. Jack...

[scanry]

It has to be Captain Jack. I think Tim misses him more because of how clutch Statjack was. I think if we had Stephen Jackson in 2004, we would've probably won the championship. He was the missing piece and Turgulo had clankfest against the lakers that year.


BTW this video is probably the best sports anthem.

exactly:tu

2008 Spurs + SJax against the Lakers would be tough one to beat

[hater]

is this a joke????

DROB!

[Yawn Maheenmee]

Cherokee Parks and those crazy inked up arms! j/k

[ShoogarBear]

Damn, how did I forget Malik?

[romad_20]

DROB!


Outside of the obvious choice of David Robinson and keep in mind our current needs

[SPURS21]

Turk likely wouldn't work in our system; especially with Manu out there.
Sean Elliott without the knee problems would be nice but I honestly feel like if we somehow had retained Buckets we'd atleast have a threepeat under our belts.

Especially when you consider his ability to defend Dirk.

[peskypesky]

SJax fer sure.

[milkyway21]

I am not closing my expectations on Horry in the playoffs if we need him.
There's always be a 10-day contract right?

[TMTTRIO]

Horry

[hater]

After reading the OP correctly I pick sean elliott

[RobinsontoDuncan]

rasho

[silverblackfan]

Malik in his prime.

[spurs1990]

Assuming the OP meant the player at his prime between '98 until now, I'll go with:

1) 1999 Sean Elliott - crucial plays in the (asterisk) championship.
2) 2001 Derek Anderson - To date the most exciting swing man I've seen in SilverNBlack
3) 2003 Stephen Jackson - clutch 3's during the postseason run lead to 1st real title
4) 2003 Speedy Claxton - Splendid and reliable finishing games for a still green TP in postseason.
5) 1999 Jaren Jackson - dagger three's in the lockout run
6) 2000 Avery Johnson - best production out of him ppg wise

[nkdlunch]

Mario Elie!!!!!

[dougp]

Since you said current needs - DRob, DRob, DRob. We need bigs, plain and simple.

[z0sa]

Yeah, David Robinson's a no brainer on this one. But for the fun of it, i'd want SJax back.

[tav1]

Robinson hands down.

[SpursDynasty]

Cherokee Parks

[johnnyblues]

DRob (of course) and Beno. :D

[Vito Corleone]

Will Perdue or that guy we drafted from Argentina who now resides in Harris county.

[tp2021]

Hedo Turkoglu

Since Sean was never healthy after 96 (and therefore when playing with Tim) and we can't pcick David, I'd go with Jack #1, AJ #2, and Malik #3.

[dougp]

to the guy who multiquoted and then showed the OP - no shit?! But do we really need another PG or SG? Nope - SF? Not really ... But we need a f'in center, not the PF's who start C.

[lefty]

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax

[peskypesky]

to the guy who multiquoted and then showed the OP - no shit?! But do we really need another PG or SG? Nope - SF? Not really ... But we need a f'in center, not the PF's who start C.

Well, then you can always pick Rasho, Nazr or Elson.

[honestfool84]

sean.

[milkyway21]

SJax

who wouldn't like to take SJAX back

tonight vs the Bucks:

Villanueva had his shot literally taken out of his hands on the way up by Stephen Jackson, who fired the steal down court to Azubuike, who was streaking towards the hoop and finished his run with a powerful slam, stretching the Golden State to a game-high 20 points(+7 rbds+7 assts:D)

he's always on fire

[GSH]

I wanna say Will Perdue, but someone might think I'm serious.

Based on current needs? If you get to pick a Spur that played with Robinson, but at his prime - hands down Kevin Willis. 7-footer, averaged a double-double, and got to the line 4+ times per game. Put a young Kevin Willis on the floor with Duncan, and Pau Gasol might decide to move back to Spain. (Honorable mention in that category would be a young Jerome Kersey, even though he didn't have the height.)

If you have to pick them from the year(s) they played with the Spurs? A young, healthy Terry Cummings would be a great addition to this team. Sean Elliott would be a good addition to any team.

And if we are allowed to throw in heavy-duty medication, or a frontal lobotomy? Dennis Rodman's 17 boards per game would really come in handy.

[m33p0]

Nazr.

[TwAnKiEs]

Mario Elie!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

definitely S-Jax or Horry in his prime. I still miss having both of these guys on the Spurs. I also miss Malik, Nazr, and Barry, but S-Jax and Horry were the main ones.

[TDMVPDPOY]

no mention of dennis rodman or JR REID? ANTOINE CARR? gilmore? even a fkn scrub center from the 80s is better than what we have upfront besides duncan

[Capt Bringdown]

SJax, the one who got away, and Elie.
I love the attitude that they brought to the team. We ain't seen it since.

[SlovenianGuy]

Rasho!

[024]

Who would it be? Outside of the obvious choice of David Robinson and keep in mind our current needs.

i would bring back tim duncan of 2003. then the spurs will have two tim duncans.

Jack with his skills now and his head screwed on straight, but Sean had some awesome all-around game and discipline that would be invaluable.

Wow you guys are young. Remember who had the keys to the team under Tark the Shark:

http://www.kerryknoll.com/archive/1999/images/jpegs/lloyd2.jpg

Just kidding. The only answer is Sean Elliott. In his prime, which I take it is the premise of the question.

[mexicanjunior]

If we couldn't take Robinson back, I would say...

1.) 2003 Stephen Jackson,
2.) 2004 Robert Horry
3.) 2003 Malik Rose
4.) 1999 Sean Elliott
5.) 1999 Mario Eilie

[Blake]

other than Elliott and DRob in their primes, it would almost have to be SJax. The dude is fearless.

[I Love Me Some Me]

Luis Scola

[Dex]

If we couldn't take Robinson back, I would say...

1.) 2003 Stephen Jackson,
2.) 2004 Robert Horry
3.) 2003 Malik Rose
4.) 1999 Sean Elliott
5.) 1999 Mario Eilie

Nice list, 'cept I have to go with '05 Robert Horry because '04 Horry choked it up against the Lakers.

Sean would be higher if the team wasn't so stacked on the wing right now. But damn it would be nice to have either Horry or Rose in the fold right now.

[TampaDude]

Other than DRob (the obvious choice), I'd have to go with Horry in his prime...his clutchness was otherworldly.

SJax would be a good choice, too.

[YODA]

Other than DRob (the obvious choice), I'd have to go with Horry in his prime...his clutchness was otherworldly.

SJax would be a good choice, too.

While he is the obvious best player, he doesnt help our needs. Were a little over crowded at gaurds.

So best SF or big men?
At there all time best? Id go with Willis, Kersey and Sean. Now if asking their best during how they played for the spurs, then its gotta be Sean. There was alot of decent big men, but nothing worthy of a selection.

Now all time Spurs?
Terry Cummings, Artis gilmore, Frank Brickaski, Mike Mitchell

for fun, ZARKO PASPAI, however its spelled

[Megabreath]

Speedy Claxton...(a position we need)

[MoSpur]

DROB or SJAX. It would be tough to pick.

[BlackBellamy]

Mario Elie!!!!!

^Werd up. That guy could eat lightening and sh*t thunder. Wish we had gotten him a bit earlier in his career.

[BlackBellamy]

Sweet pea. Ngaaa, jus' playin'.

[galvatron3000]

Stephen Jackson who would hold done the starting SF spot and Manu and Bowen can rotate the Sg. Changes the dynamic of what the Spurs could do and possibly could have brought the first back to back in 2004 when Jak was improved.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Buckets could easily play small ball PF, hell he had Dirk pissing his pants in the Dallas series a couple of years ago.

Outside of him, you'd have to say Malik when he was playing for the minimum, Horry before he got old, and just to stir the pot (I thought about this last night but didn't want to say it) you'd have to consider Scola as well.

[superbigtime]

Other than DRob (the obvious choice), I'd have to go with Horry in his prime...his clutchness was otherworldly.

SJax would be a good choice, too.

Horry's prime was about 11 or 12 years. He only was a liability the last two years.

[texasqb2]

No doubt........

Jackie Butler with Vassilis Spanoulis as a close second

[El Fuego]

I cant believe no one has mention George The Iceman Gervin. With him on the presant team there wouldn't be a scoring droubt ever again. Just imagine though if we could get back David and Gervin with a line up of:

pg. parker
sg. ginobili
sf. gervin
pf. duncan
c. robinson

I think we we would go 81-1 through the season.

I hate to be a smartass here (not really), but did you even read the title? That may be the reason they haven't brought him up.

[El Fuego]

Oh ok I miss read the title from the Tim Duncan era. i get ya now. but yeah if we cant pick robinson then jackson would be a fine choice followed by claxton i would imagine

[El Fuego]

I hate to be a smartass here (not really), but did you even read the title? That may be the reason they haven't brought him up.

yes i finally read it and i made my correction, i gues not fast enough. And again I must have missed when reading names like Rodman and Gillmore

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I can. He said someone who played during TD's era. You can't count Gervin unless you're talking about the All-Star weekend geriatric legends contests of the past...

[romad_20]

Oh ok I miss read the title from the Tim Duncan era. i get ya now. but yeah if we cant pick robinson then jackson would be a fine choice followed by claxton i would imagine

No problem but I figured f@#$ it, I'm a smartass in real life, too. :lol

[wisnub]

If we can bring back one ex spur from TD era...which still can play now..the answer will be obvious: STEPHEN JACKSON !!!!

oh wait a minute...did Scola count? ahh forget it

[Taco]

Mario Ellie

[MrChug]

While he is the obvious best player, he doesnt help our needs. Were a little over crowded at gaurds.

So...we're guessing Hooked on Phonics didn't work for you.

He said D-Rob was the obvious choice. And no, we don't need GAURDS either. Horry? Even Bonner 2008-09 is tearing the shit out of what Horry would do game for game his entire career with us in the last few weeks. Horry was a scrub until the playoffs...
