Worst Spur of all time?

[mardigan]

Seeing how we just got rid of Rasho, it made me wonder, who is the worst Spur of all time? Doesnt nesecarily have to be from a talent standpoint either, maybe just fitting in ( Charlie Ward) or by screwing us over (Derek Anderson). My vote: Jack Haley

[mandoman]

Charles Smith.

[sa_butta]

Dwayne Schintzius

[Mr. Body]

Ron Mercer. I actually hoped he'd have some offensive impact off the bench. So bad they cut him mid-season.

[Big Pimp_21]

Mengke Bateer

[mardigan]

Damn I forgot about Mercer, he was a fucking joke. Is he still in the league anymore?
And Charles Smith, thats pretty fuckin funny, forgot about him too. Didnt we have Uwe Blab a couple years?

[mardigan]

Bateer=Greatest Mongolian Basketball legend of all time

[ChumpDumper]

Rodman.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

First time i ever disagree with the dumper.

[mardigan]

Rodman.
Really?

[ChumpDumper]

Those other guys merely sucked.

Rodman quit.

[Frank Brickowski]

Alfederick Hughes, waste of a first round pick.

[mardigan]

What was the fuckers name that had one good year on are 99 championship team that started at shooting guard, its been bugging me all day. It was his only good year

[sa_butta]

What was the fuckers name that had one good year on are 99 championship team that started at shooting guard, its been bugging me all day. It was his only good yearAre you talking about Jaren Jackson??

[mardigan]

Alfederick Hughes, waste of a first round pick.
Shit, remember Bill Curley? Former Boston College standout, never even saw the floor

[Cant_Be_Faded]

What about Rod Strickland for doing a no look spinning pass to an unintentional cutter at a crucial time in the game against Houston back in 98 or so

[mardigan]

That was his name, double J. Whatever happened to that guy?

[sa_butta]

What about Rod Strickland for doing a no look spinning pass to an unintentional cutter at a crucial time in the game against Houston back in 98 or soDamn that fucker chocked big for us.

[mardigan]

The same Rod Strickland that lost the western Conference Finals to Portland? I think David Wingate was on that team too. Man we used to have some shitty players. And I will never forgive Strickland

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Strickland turned his body 95degrees, looked the other half of the court, passed the ball without looking, and it hit a rocket in the arm. Can any of you imagine the uproar spurstalk would get if parker had done this against Dallas or against any closely matched team in a crucial moment of a crucial game?

They'd be crying to get him tarred and feathered

[ChumpDumper]

Damn, had we not let Strickland walk, we'd have four or five trophies by now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

lol i forgot chuck ward was a spur

[NBA Junkie]

Tim Kempton

[mardigan]

strickland was good back in the day before he started hanging with Wingate and Kersey, bad influences

[mardigan]

Rod barely made it back out of SA alive for that one, he was gone the next season I think. Tim Kempton, wow

[polandprzem]

Cheerokie Parks and Felton Spencer

[2centsworth]

Mengke Bateer

:tu He's the worst NBA player I've ever seen.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

My vote goes for van exel and derrick dial.

[NBA Junkie]

I changed my mind. I choose Derrick Dial instead.

In all fairness to Kempton, he was only around for 10 games in '96-97.

Dial was around for a few years and was horrible in terms of FG and FT% for a guard.

[mardigan]

Cheerokie Parks and Felton Spencer

DAmn bro those are probably the best ones Ive seen, but unfortunately I just looked it up and Uwe Blab was on the Spurs for a season

[mardigan]

Jason Sasser, Vernon Maxwell, Carl Herrera

[mardigan]

JAMIE FIECK, Brad Lohaus, damn we really have had some bad players

[Mr. Body]

I changed my vote. Cherokee Parks might have been the worst NBA player of all time. He played for the Spurs. Ergo, the worst Spur of all time.

[mardigan]

Monty Williams, Andrew Gaze, Samaki Walker, I am on a roll. Seriously? Andrew Gaze?

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Zarko Paspalj, Uwe Blab, Dwayne Schintzius -- Shitty games, Great names.

[sanman53]

I thought Samaki Walker was a turnover waiting to happen.

[mardigan]

Anthony Carter, remember how he was supposed to solve our back up point problem? We mine as well signed Shane Heal again

[Mr. Body]

There was a year where Malik Rose and Samaki Walker seemed equal off the bench. Similar stats, everything.

[j-6]

Seeing how we just got rid of Rasho, it made me wonder, who is the worst Spur of all time? Doesnt nesecarily have to be from a talent standpoint either, maybe just fitting in ( Charlie Ward) or by screwing us over (Derek Anderson). My vote: Jack Haley


That's Charlie "Heisman" Ward to you.

[MoSpur]

Too many to name. Uwe Blab.

[ALVAREZ6]

Nve

[Paulie]

Stan Kelly

[mardigan]

Negele mother fucking Knight, doubt we can top that one

[FromWayDowntown]

Bill Curley deserves no place in this conversation -- he was drafted to be traded to Detroit for Sean Elliott. In some ways, if Curley was ever a Spur, he was one of the most valuable because of what he brought back.

And I have no idea how Strickland was negatively influenced as a Spur by hanging out with Jerome Kersey, given that Kersey was in Portland at the time. Perhaps that's just me.

As far as names: Julius Nwosu and Gerard King are both up there somewhere on this list.

[ShoogarBear]

You can't just say "worst Spur of all time". That's not meaningful.

What is meaningful is worst production-to-expectations. Guys who were supposed to come here and do something but didn't.

On that list, you have Alfredrick Hughes and Charlie Ward. Probably Charles Smith, too.

[Texas_Ranger]

Bateer

[DarrinS]

It's not even close,

Carl Hererra

[polandprzem]

Well there was one guy who occured to be a pussy when in matters.
The guy was tall - about 7'1" and could not take a team to the goal and screw everythings up when he should showed that he is the man.
He wasn't. He was so dominated by another center from the same State that wasn't even funny.....

[ChumpDumper]

That's weak whotttbaittt.

Blasphemer

[Dingle Barry]

TIE

Cadillac Anderson and Carl Herrera.

Whoever said Monty Williams is retarded. He was productive.

[Useruser666]

Llyod Daniels

I was in a Spurs Basketball camp and George Gervin introduced him to us as the Spurs' "secret weapon" for the next season. He said he "played" just like Magic Johnson!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!

[mabber]

Van Exel

[Uncle Donnie]

Rodman.

:tu

[SPARKY]

Charles Smith (the original).

[ATX Spur]

espectations to production? NVE. What happens if he doesn't completely suck ALL the time? only back to back titles in franchise history?

[redskinfan]

Sidney Green has to be the worst ever

[NBAFAN001]

Avery Johnson because he went to the dark-side by accepting that coaching job in Dallas :frying:

[DarrinS]

TIE

Cadillac Anderson and Carl Herrera.

Whoever said Monty Williams is retarded. He was productive.


I forgot about Cadillac Anderson. That guy had no game AND no forehead. Didn't his hairline start about 1 cm above his eyebrows. Dude was was almost as ugly as Marquis Daniels.

[djohn14]

Oberto :depressed

[exstatic]

Dwayne Schintzius, followed closely by Shane Heal. Charles Smith I sucked ass, but it wasn't his fault. SA should have never traded for someone with a bone-on-bone knee.

[Russ]

All of the above + Paul Pressey.

Also, Hedo = Hedon't.

[shelshor]

Cherokee Parks

And another one who went tho the Dark Side: George Karl

[my2sons]

ed neely
wiley peck
oliver robinson
denis rodman's babysitter

[SA Gunslinger]

Sidney Green has to be the worst ever

:tu

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Hedo tops the list of biggest dissapointments, imo, cuz he reached a consistent level of goign 3-4 three pointers or 4-5 three pointers per game, then totally choked to the lakers with every other spur but bowen

[CubanMustGo]

David Wood.

[horrorshow]

Vinny del Negro... don't actually think he was the worst, just felt like saying that.... :wakeup

[rayray2k8]

I'll go with Samaki Walker.
what a piece of shit.

Okay.. who's the worst shooter in spurs history?
Shane Heal or NVE ?
:lol

[thekingrobert]

hands down anthony carter, was so bad we paid him to leave

[jman3000]

hands down anthony carter, was so bad we paid him to leave

Ahhh ... back when the days that we defended Avery.

I remember when Carter left he made a remark regarding "snakes in the grass" and it was supposedly a stab at AJ wanting him off the team.

[tw05baller]

Cherokee Parks

[ShoogarBear]

I can't believe this hasn't been Charlie Ward in a runaway.

[baseline bum]

My bottom 3:

1. Rodman - quitter who somehow never got called out for it by the lame-ass media who shit all over David Robinson

2. Samaki Walker - the king of tantalizing preseasons and frustrating playoffs

3. Alfrederick Hughes - lost a coin flip and thus lost out on Karl Malone instead of this piece of crap who lasted one half of a season in the NBA... how big of a bust do you have to be to be sent home halfway into your first season? That's unheard of for a top-15 pick... and it's not like the Spurs had an itchy trigger-finger or anything, because this guy never made it back with anyone else.

[baseline bum]

I can't believe this hasn't been Charlie Ward in a runaway.

Charlie Ward == Nick Van Exel

Ward was supposed to be the guy who'd let us esacpe from having to use Jason 8-second Hart to bring the ball up the floor. NVE was our answer to Benu halfcourt-trap Udrih. Same to me.... two washed-up backup PGs who were worthless here.

[ShoogarBear]

I can remember a couple of good things NVE did during the regular season.

I can't remember if Ward hit a single shot while he was here. Beno would have beaten out Charlie Ward.

[baseline bum]

I saw this one game in Boston where Ward hit a couple of threes for us. Maybe Beno would have beaten him out, but then again I don't see how he didn't beat NVE too.

[AFE7FATMAN]

Zarko Paspalj

The first Euro to blow big time in the NBA. He was a direct result of POP
going to Europe to SCOUT :lol

Zarko = King of Cigarettes and PIZZA

[Extra Stout]

Ahhh ... back when the days that we defended Avery.

I remember when Carter left he made a remark regarding "snakes in the grass" and it was supposedly a stab at AJ wanting him off the team.
???
Avery's last season in San Antonio was 2000-01.

Anthony Carter only played in SA for the first few games of the 2003-04 season before getting cut.

[ShoogarBear]

Ahhh ... back when the days that we defended Avery.

I remember when Carter left he made a remark regarding "snakes in the grass" and it was supposedly a stab at AJ wanting him off the team.That wasn't Carter. That was Chuckie Brown.

[Trainwreck2100]

All this and nobody brought up Tarkanian.

[ShoogarBear]

They did say Lloyd Daniels.

[strangeweather]

All this and nobody brought up Tarkanian.
The one and only good thing from the Tark era was the little arena blimp they had painted to look like a shark.

That was pretty cool. :lol

[SenorSpur]

Van Exel
Charles Smith

[jman3000]

That wasn't Carter. That was Chuckie Brown.

son of a bitch
:pctoss

[jman3000]

fine then... i nominate chuckie brown

:drunk

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Jack Haley.

[dav4463]

Paul Griffin

[AFE7FATMAN]

Jack Haley.

Haley cannot be nominated.


He was cojoined with Rodman

[spursmike.]

of course Bateer

[Dre_7]

I didnt think NVE completely sucked. He ran the offense fine. Didnt hit as many shots as was expected, but ran the offense. I dont recall him effing up too bad in the playoffs. He was a slow on D, but he was old so that is to be expected with an old guy with bad knees. He did nothing to warrant being called the "worst Spur of all time."

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Haley cannot be nominated.


He was cojoined with Rodman

:D

His own personal towel boy slash cheerleader.

[LakerHater]

didn't the spurs have 2 players by the name of Charles Smith?

[whottt]

I can't believe someone mentioned Jaren Jackson as one of the worst Spurs of all time. That's insane....he belongs on the lits of postseason heroes(and getting lazy after getting a nice contract)...but no way is he one of the worst Spurs ever.



My vote goes to Anthony Carter...followed by Charles Smith.

[LakerHater]

what about mo cheeks! He was a good player but he never liked it in San Antonio.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

didn't the spurs have 2 players by the name of Charles Smith?

One was liked, one was a 7 foot stiff.

I'm sure you can figure out which one these guys are hating on. :D

[jman3000]

I'm sure you can figure out which one these guys are hating on. :D

Spider-Man woulda done well with us if he hadn't acquired all those health problems. I know we traded him... but a big part of that was because of his health.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Spider-Man woulda done well with us if he hadn't acquired all those health problems. I know we traded him... but a big part of that was because of his health.

Really?

I thought a big part of trading him was to get Kerr back in SA. Spider-man was a hell of a player. That dude had RIDICULOUS ups. I remember the play he got injured on was where he went up for arebound and got undercut. The dude's crotch was at eye-level with the defender.


That said, his outside jumper was suspect and he wasn't exactly a physical player. He'd be a nice player to bring off the bench though, a 10th man type of the Maurice Evans mold.

[jman3000]

highlight of his life was that game against michael jordan where he blocked a couple... if not a few of his shots.

we did trade him in the deal for steve kerr... and im not 100% sure but im confident one of the reasons was because he has some condition... i need to look it up.

[jman3000]

i'm too fucking tired to look up his info

[LakerHater]

But don't you have to take a physical.

[jman3000]

and whottt's right about jaren... the guy almost single handedly beat the lakers that year.

[jman3000]

shit... if you look at the stats on his bio, he practically falls off the face of the earth after his pretty good season with the spurs.

[Obstructed_View]

1. Dennis Rodman
2. Sidney Green
3. Charles Smith

[Parker 09]

Cherokee parks or andrew gaze.
Has any one played nba live 2000?
gaze was in that game and he was so crap that he had no dribble moves.
no crossover, no spin, nothing.

Sounds about right.

Gaze was the "australian jordan". Tells you a little bit about Aussie basketball.

[Obstructed_View]

Gaze was the "australian jordan". Tells you a little bit about Aussie basketball.
I think he was over the hill when he played his dozen or so games as a Spur. Although that's a better way to judge him than how badass he was on a video game.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

He was a Steve Kerr. Minus the ball going through the hoop.

[Obstructed_View]

He was a Steve Kerr. Minus the ball going through the hoop.
:lol

...or the defense, or the rebounding, or the playmaking. Steve Kerr could have gone to Australia to play and might have ended up ruling the country.

[polandprzem]

Andrew Gaze has played in a record five Olympic Games, he is the highest point scorer in Olympic history, he has played in four world championships and is the second highest point scorer in world championship history. In 16 seasons he has scored more than 16,000 points at an average of almost 34 points per game, he has won two championships, he has recorded almost 3,000 assists and has been named the league’s most valuable player (MVP) a record seven times. He has been selected as a member of the All-NBL All-Star Team for a record 12 consecutive years. Gaze won the NBL's Most Efficient Player Award for each year of its existence (8 years)

[v2freak]

There were no "small" Spurs

[manustarting2gd]

Derek Anderson "DA" . Dude came in talkin bout loyalty and all this crap, he breaks his collarbone or whatever(courtesy of Juwa(ck)n Howard) and comes out talking about he wants a 6yr contract and we offer him a 5yr and he bounces. Damn i hated D.A. for that and for dicking the Spurs over for loot and puttin up that front with that loyalty crap. Eh good riddance, we won some titles and he got his with Miami this season. But I am so freakin glad he had absolutely no part in winning it. The beyotch.

[ShoogarBear]

My vote goes to Anthony Carter...That wouldn't have anything to do with this?

[ducks]

tp ask spurs fans

[cherylsteele]

Paul Griffin
Your kidding right?
He was one of the original Bruise Brothers along with Corzine along with the Coby Dietrick.

How about:
Morris Mchone
Walter Berry
Mark Bryant
Kevin Duckworth
Peter Gudmundsson
Marc Ivaroni
Albert King.....Bernard's brother
Brad Lohaus
Moses Malone....although his career was basically over when he got here.
Mark McNamara
J.R. Reid
Larry Smith....Mr. Mean...but he wasn't.

[wildbill2u]

What about Rod Strickland for doing a no look spinning pass to an unintentional cutter at a crucial time in the game against Houston back in 98 or so

Strickland's pass was against Portland in the playoffs if I'm not mistaken. It was in the waning seconds of the game and most people felt it cost us the playoffs that year.

However, I was thinking about Strickland as the worst Spur in a close race with Rodman because of their utter contempt for the city. They didn't want to play here.

[wildbill2u]

There was a year where Malik Rose and Samaki Walker seemed equal off the bench. Similar stats, everything.

My God! You've blasphemed against the sainted Malik! Get ready for some flames and watch your back. :rolleyes

Carl Herrera. All that money we paid to lure him away from Houston got us NOTHING in return.

[MrChug]

The Spurs that chapped my azz everytime they touched the ball because they were worthless:

#5. Carl Herrera-the original stonehands
#4. Mysucky Walker-hated that dude...bad things happened when he went to the scorers table
#3. The big Charles Smith-biggest bust with the biggest expectations
#2. Anthony Carter-pulled the wool over our eyes
#1. Negele Knight-imagine Anthony Carter's game...just suckier. Imagine a worse shooter than Carter (I know it's hard, but try).
