whos the one spur you wish was still on the team?

[SgtSpur]

I'm gonna have to go with Malik rose. I really liked his hustle.

Are we talking at present, or are you allowing time travel?

[BanditHiro]

2003 Duncan...

[Darkwaters]

Stephen Jackson






Oh wait...

[Kobayagi]

D-rob

[Vito Corleone]

David or Antoine Carr




Mostly David

[Juggity]

Does Scola count even though he never played a game in silver and black?

[TJastal]

Scola

[Darkwaters]

D-rob

Definitely. David Robinson in his prime was something amazing to behold.

[Hoops Czar]

Luis Scola

[ffadicted]

Drew Gooden

[Robz4000]

Currently: Scola

Time-Travel Allowed: prime D-Rob or prime Duncan

[Whisky Dog]

If it's at a certain period of time player then it's such a no brainer there's no reason to ask. 1995 David Robinson added to this team this year and we'd sweep at least 2 series on the way to blitzing our way to the title.

[shyne]

Robert Horry.

[foodie2]

What, nobody said Bowen?

Bowen.

[Solid D]

David Robinson

[Chachachango]

D Rob or Bowen.

[dirkdirkastan]

George Gervin

[Proxy]

Bowen easily

[TheSkeptic]

So many Spurs I've enjoyed over the years.

Bowen, Horry, and Robinson for basketball reasons.

I've always kinda liked Steve Kerr and Brent Barry as well.

[William Hung]

Admiral\Splitter\Bonner
Duncan\Blair\Diaw
Manu\Green

Parker\Neal

Only weakness I see is PG depth but I would take DROB over anyone.

[sananspursfan21]

I liked drew gooden unlike a lot of people on this forum so either him or bowen

[Darius Bieber]

Steve Novak.

[cheguevara]

DRob
Bowen
and this bad mofo

Hehe

[FlAVaK]

!

and K-Will, for sure.

[timvp]

C 1995 Robinson
PF 2003 Duncan
SF 1979 Gervin
SG 2005 Ginobili
PG 2009 Parker

Coach 2002 Popovich

[timvp]

why? this version of pop was sent straight to the tree of woe by LA.

2003 Pop :tu

58 wins when a 19-year-old Tony Parker is your third best player and you're forced to start a washed up Steve Smith at shooting guard = Greatest coaching job I've ever seen from Pop. His intensity that year was pretty amazing. He literally didn't let TP2 make a mistake without screaming in his face. And in the playoffs, the Spurs gave the Lakers a damn good series even though they had much less talented (the already talent-starved team had a crippled Robinson).

He did great work in 2003 but that team was much, much more talented.

[TDMVPDPOY]

how sweet would it be willis or massenburg was on this team...hard fouls ftw

[baseline bum]

DRob. The only other acceptable answer is Ice.

[Arcadian]

C 1995 Robinson
PF 2003 Duncan
SF 1979 Gervin

PG 2009 Parker

Coach 2002 Popovich

Nice, except I'd have to go with 1980 Gervin because he averaged 33 ppg, and they actually made the playoffs that year.

[Sidney Green]

Rod Strickland. FYI for those of you who didn't know, I'm th OG #21 on the spurs.

[timvp]

Nice, except I'd have to go with 1980 Gervin because he averaged 33 ppg, and they actually made the playoffs that year.

?

1979 Gervin was one win away from the Finals after going up 3-1 over the Bullets in the conference finals. 1980 Gervin was .500 in the regular season and lost the Rockets in the first round, who ended up getting destroyed by the Celtics in the next round.

[Agloco]

I'm gonna have to go with Malik rose. I really liked his hustle.


:flag::flag:

Any answer except D-Rob fails here IMO.

Top three would be

DRob, Bowen and K Willis. Ninja and Horry are tied for fourth.

I say this in the context of our current big man shortage.


DRob. The only other acceptable answer is Ice.

Crap!!! I was going big, and forgot G-square.

[Spurious]

I'm adding either James Silas or Johnny Moore at the point, so our PG depth no longer is an issue.

[Obstructed_View]

Five Oh.

[Biggems]

no love for Alvin in his prime?

btw, I pick David.....but if you gave me 3 guys.....David, Bruce, Alvin.

[SgtSpur]

lol novak no way...horry 4 sure too! but yeah i like claxton as well!!

[SgtSpur]

dang i didnt know that...gervin was badass!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

was 92 robinson better then mvp robinson??

[urunobili]

D-Rob any year of his career TBH

[DMC]

Luis Scola

[rudwick]

No time travel-

Udonis Haslem
Kurt Thomas
Fabricio Oberto

[mkurts]

The Admiral! David Robinson.

He's always been my favorite player and the all round offense/defense/versatility he brings is terribly missed by this team. Bring back the TWIN TOWERS and get rid of Defensive 3 second violations !

[TDMVPDPOY]

you know how weak the center position is when even banteer or will perdue is enough

[TDomination]

2007 Bonner :) - used to perfection lol

but seriously, current players I would have to go with Beno Udrih. Only because of our backup pg needs. I wouldn't want to pay him much, but I liked him as a player.

All time - it would be early 90's David Robinson. Him and the Duncan of today would beast the frontcourt

[dunkman]

1. Luis Scola, he's very talented bigman, those are good for the playoffs.
2. George Hill, he could run the point, play defense, score efficiently, play well from the bench.
3. Antonio McDyess, he had size and could play defense, not sure if he has anything left in the tank though.
4. Ian Mahinmi, the Spurs give up on him too soon he has size and some talent, but he still fouls a lot.
5. Hedo Turkoglu, for a smaller contract, however with Jack, Kawhi and Diaw he's not really needed.

Gooden was a black hole on offense, not sure if he can help. DRob retired in 03, Bowen and Horry must have +40.

[pgardn]

Gervin

Watching Pop blow up over his defense would be great fun.
Gervin with those half close eyes..."I gotcha coach, defense" and then let someone go by and promptly react by hitting a 3.

[Nick, the Nazi]

James white!

[SenorSpur]

D-Rob in any year.

Other than that, 1991 version of Rod Strickland

[210Max]

anthony goldwire

[Spurtacus]

For the 2012 team...

Retired-David Robinson

Currently in NBA-Nazr Mohammed

[bigfan]

Gene Banks

[Brutalis]

1994 Robinson + 2003 Duncan = win.

[100%duncan]

#12

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Hard to argue against David Robinson of the mid-1990s. With Duncan, a young Robinson, Parker, Ginobili, all together on the court, Spurs would probably be the NBA's dominant team at the moment.

[dav4463]

Since I did not see him mentioned and since he is one of my childhood heroes....I will take Larry Kenon.

[Manufan909]

For the 2012 team...

Crap!!! I was going big, and forgot G-square.
I would consider 1983 Artis Gilmore

[100%duncan]

Big Shot Rob. Only play him in the last seconds with that age won't matter.

[BoricuaSpursFan]

TBH James Anderson. Oh waitt! http://ct.fra.bz/ol/fz/sw/i45/5/2/21/fbz_7b67f0a09edb067a17d58e206a01a380.jpg

[spursnatic]

Steve Novak.You say Novak?...Maybe the current Novak not the Novak he was when the Spurs had him...A totally different player...

[Old School 44]

So many Spurs I've enjoyed over the years.

Bowen, Horry, and Robinson for basketball reasons.

I've always kinda liked Steve Kerr and Brent Barry as well.

The above would be interesting! :hat

BUT I'd have to go with DRob anytime even right now or my all-time favorite, prime Iceman.

[Darius Bieber]

You say Novak?...Maybe the current Novak not the Novak he was when the Spurs had him...A totally different player...

Yeah, he basically only played garbage time here in San Antonio. He's been given a chance in New York.

[maverick1948]

If not, DRob then the man with these stats 33 yrs old

82 games
34.1 mins
62.6 FG%
74 % FT %
18 pts
12 reb
1.5 asst
2.3 Blocks

7'2 240 lbs Center

Artis Gilmore 82-83

[shraediggz]

If any of ya'll think Dwight Howard is a beast in the pivot, just imagine how effortlessly a prime David Robinson could tear this league up. No Shaq. No Akeem. No Problem.

[Rapper]

Steve kerr . just remind me of game 6 of the 2003 western confernce final

[MannyIsGod]

Man I miss Drob.

KkpT0QdUDIY

LOL The court reminded me of NBA Live 95

[Thomas82]

Prime David Robinson.

[Blake]

PG 2009 Parker


2009 Parker was better than current Parker?

Not so sure....

[Blake]

Dennis Rodman was great entertainment. Was a little sad to see him go.

[Horry For 3!]

<<<<<<<< Horry...... then he makes the 3!

[angelbelow]

Prime David Robinson would be lovely. He fits well as a big and as... you know... a hall of famer.

Thought about Bruce but interested in seeing how Kawhi develops.

I used to do this with NBA2k from like 2007 to 2010. Would either create or look for a player that looked like the Admiral and rename and adjust ratings.

[dallasmaverickslose]

Richard Jefferson. No question about it.

[admiralsnackbar]

Time machine:Any prime version of DRob, A-Train, Special K; Dice, KT, Cummings; Truth, and/or Horry in the front-court. Alvin Robertson (Gary Neal on defensive steroids) on combo-guard duty, and Rod Strickland, Van Exel, or Moore on bk-up PG.

Present day: Scola (duh), Hedo, and Nazr in front, and Hill or (much as it pains me to say it) V-Span as back-up PG. Add Devin for sentimental reasons.

Populating this mental exercise is fun, but if anything, it makes me realize how lucky we are to have the team we currently do. It could be argued that this is one of our shallowest (certainly our shortest) front-court rotations as legit contenders, but taken as a whole, it is one of the smartest, most talented groups we've ever fielded. Been a long time since we could feel this good about our post-season chances.

[silverblackfan]

Big 50. Hell, I would not mind him suited up now. He still looks in great shape.

[temujin]

Former player: Robert Horry.
Active player: Luis Scola.

[SilverSpur]

David Robinson, Derek Anderson, JR Reid(Mr Hustle)
Hard to pick just one.

[TimmehC]

2003 Duncan would just decimate everything in his path. Same with mid-90's D-Rob(I'm partial to the '96 version).

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Dave, Bruce, & Alvin Robertson for the intimidation factor.

[SPURadic]

Aside from the obvious picks like DRob, Iceman and Prime TD

I'd like to have someone in the current team to take on the 2005 role Glenn Robinson played.

I'm hoping Jack can play that role. Glenn Robinson surprised me in the playoffs of 2005 wherein for some reason, he knew how to play defense for the first time in his life. He was able to get some buckets when called upon. Didn't hear nary a complain that season, although if I remember correctly, he wanted superstar salary again after the season when he became a free agent?

[reckless05]

I cannot believe nobody mentioned Derek Anderson here.. in 2001 or 2002 i think..

He was really doing great with the Spurs before stupid Juwan Howard dislocated his damn shoulder..

http://s14.postimage.org/lzojx1pbh/ff8f2e4a.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/lzojx1pbh/)

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Not even close. Prime DRob and we win in a canter. Prime Bruce Bowen second. Big Shot Rob third.

[Biggems]

Gervin

Watching Pop blow up over his defense would be great fun.
Gervin with those half close eyes..."I gotcha coach, defense" and then let someone go by and promptly react by hitting a 3.

Ice was a pretty damn good defender....sure he was no Alvin or Bruce....but he could hold his own. Go look at his stats, at one time he was the team leader in blocks and steals.

[Biggems]

Just give me this team


Coach: Pop

C: David, Artis, Splitter
PF: Duncan, Larry K, TC
SF: Bruce, Mitchell, Sean
SG: Ice, Manu, Jax/Willie
PG: Parker, Moore, Silas

[mabrignani]
