What Spurs player from the past should have his jersey hanging in the rafters?

[HemisfairArena]

Gilmore? Robertson?,,,there are plenty who contributed to this great franchise. My vote would be Gilmore over any of the others left out. Willie Anderson? Terry Cummings?

[anakha]

Whoever the majority owner is.

[Robz4000]

The Centerpiece

[HemisfairArena]

Alfredrick Hughes?

[ChumpDumper]

After AJ got one by popular(?) vote, you might as well rafter Bateer.

[MeloHype]

Malik Rose

[manufan10]

James White

I gotta go with Pops Mensah-Bonsu.

[HemisfairArena]

Dwayne Shitus?

[Das Texan]

Mike Smrek.

or

Petur Gundmundsson

[efrem1]

David Greenwood.

[TheyCallMePro]

Malik Rose was the heart and soul of this team for a while. He'd get my vote.

[Jimcs50]

Mike Mitchell was a stud

[Mr. Body]

No one. The next three are all still playing.

Mike Mitchell....maybe. We haven't had that many great players tbh. This current team will have Duncan, Parker and Ginobili for sure. Leonard will soon follow.

I liked Malik Rose. He played with incredible energy and had a pretty reliable jump shot when left open.

The jerseys that should be hanging are hanging IMO.

I wish they only retired two numbers tbh.

44
50

and 21, 20, 9 & Pop when they retire.

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

Nando de Colo for sure..

[will_spurs]

Paul George.

Then that would just double as the Hall of Fame inductees. And there's no point in doing that.

Brickowski. The first stretch 4/5 for the Spurs. He was the original.

I agree. The current set of retired jerseys is just about right. Other than the current Big 3, everyone who played 9 or more seasons with the Spurs has his number retired, plus Bowen with 8 years.

Artis Gilmore would be worthy as a player, but he was only with the Spurs for 5 seasons out of an 18 year ABA/NBA career.

The other three 8-year Spurs are Matt Bonner, Malik Rose, and Coby Dietrick. Matt and Malik have two championships, so they would possibly be the next in line. If Matt plays another season, he'll hit 9, and they'll have to retire his number. :lol

Horry and Barry

[dbestpro]

Larry Kenon. Artis Gilmore and the even more obscure Swen Nater.

God, the wonderful irony of being a professional basketball player named Brickowsi. I'm sure every coach he had just loved that.

Terry Cummings of course, although his best years were with the Clippers and Bucks.

Tony Massenburg!

TMass was badass, but I'd hang up Willis before Massenburg.

Is Willie Anderson's jersey retired because if not he contributed for a lot of years to our franchise?

[dunkman]

Robertson must have his # retired. Gilmore and Kenon could be too.

He was also the reason that Charlie Sheen used to travel with the team

[Obstructed_View]

I think he smoked during practice or something. These cards came out the year I moved to SA and I never saw this dude play for the team.

Mr. Gorbachev tear down this rafter! Tear it down now!

[jhfenton]

Robertson's multiple domestic violence convictions and child sex-trafficking charges make that unlikely. :depressed

Club house lawyer...trade his ass!

[21209]

Good call on Larry Kenon, though playing in SA only four seasons hurt his chances.

[Biggems]

IMHO, the Spurs should have 2 numbers retired....44 and 50. with the rest of those guys, they should have made a Ring of Honor type thing like they do in football. With the Ring of Honor.....Gilmore, Robertson, and Mitchell would also be added.

[The Whopper]

Alvin is the obvious player but he'll never get it and rightly so.

He was certainly a superior player to Johnny Moore, whose number is retired. Alvin started the freaking ALL STAR game and had a quadruple double. Granted, he is one of the worst human beings ever to don an NBA jersey. But seriously, Johnny Moore didn't deserve it either at all. Moore barely had a much of a career, being sidelined with Desert Fever for so long. A desperate ownership group trying to throw a bone to a bored fan base.

[thiste]

What Spurs player from the past should have his jersey hanging in the rafters?

Hmmm, after thinking about it for a while... I've come to the conclusion that I see none other more deserving that #50 David Robinson.

[doobs]

Former Spur Patty Mills

[superbigtime]

Kenon, Mitchell, Gilmore.

[xmas1997]

Unretire Avery as far as I'm concerned.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I think if Gilmore or Mitchell had a longer run in a Spurs uniform that they'd of been worthy of consideration. Robert Horry was pretty instrumental to the Spurs playoff success.

Honestly, though, the big 3 should be the next three jerseys retired.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Tim needs more than a retired jersey. They'll need the Duncan/Pop statues out in front of the AT&T.

[ginobilized]

Pop's tan suit needs to hang from the rafters

[BatManu20]

Unretire Avery as far as I'm concerned.

:lol I'd love to hear how that conversation would go between PATFO and Avery

[BatManu20]

Wouldn't be surprised if Timmy gets a statue tbh. As a matter of fact I think he does.

[BatManu20]

If not for Avery Johnson's retired jersey, Manu would've worn #6 his whole career.

Anybody have that pic of Manu holding up the #6 jersey at his introductory presser?

[FromWayDowntown]

Oh, Alvin's number will be retired:

http://www.zonadostres.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Alvin-Robertson.jpg

It will just have some other dude's name on the banner.

On a related note, the old time readers of this forum will be happy to know that, at long last, Chris Whitney's number will undoubtedly be retired soon:

http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Basketball/2142/2142-673599Fr.jpg

Whitney > Parker, after all.

[Seventyniner]

Not thread-worthy but it has to do with jersey numbers.

The Spurs could potentially (though not realistically) put an amusing lineup out there:

C: Anderson (1)
PF: Leonard (2)
SF: Belinelli (3)
SG: Green (4)
PG: Joseph (5)

It involves 3 players playing out of position, though only one position up each.

[xmas1997]

Isn't Alvin Robertson in prison?

[Jimcs50]

Bruce Bowen

Somebody is not paying attention.
