[SpurNation]

Rebounds
Blair needs 2941 total rebounds, or 908 offensive rebounds, or 2147 defensive rebounds, to enter top 10 in each category.



He'll do that this year. :king

Kidding aside. If he maintains an average of 10 per game...He'll do that in 3 and a half years. :wow

[FromWayDowntown]

Not that there was any doubt about it, but I think the list basically validates the idea that Tony Parker is among the 5 most significant players in the history of this franchise.

I think the list also goes to show that relatively few players have spent very long AND very productive tenures with the Spurs.

[will_spurs]

I also decided to consider Finley's 3-pt contribution as significant given the relatively few years he's been with the Spurs and he's on his way to be #3 in 3PM and 3PA. Which indeed validates the idea that few players stayed long and/or had significant contributions over an extended period of time for the Spurs.

[phyzik]

Parker may pass Silas in tomorrow's game.... would be a great vbookie to bet on if he does or doesn't. :hat

[will_spurs]

Updated with latest games.

[Mel_13]

Updated with latest games.

Good stuff.

Periodic updates would be great.

[SenorSpur]

Turnovers
Duncan needs 8 more turnovers to pass Gervin as #1.

Good stuff.

I actually thought by now that Finley would've made it into the club's top-five leaders in Turnovers :lol

[will_spurs]

Good stuff.

Periodic updates would be great.

Yup, I'm not going to update all the stats after each and every game, but I'll keep a watch on the ones that are likely to be beaten soon and we will see how the list of achievements grows.

And of course there's the extra "5th ring" stat! :lobt2:
