Apologies to Elliott, I just can't put him above any of these guys.

[Budkin]

1. David Robinson - The reason I started following the Spurs
2. Tim Duncan - What can I say? The man.
3. Manu Ginobili - El Contusion FTW
4. Tony Parker - Not even at his peak yet. He's gonna be good for a long time.
5. George Gervin - He could finger-roll

[The Go For 4]

Will add Manu as tied for 5th.

[mrsmaalox]

All the lists aregood but Sean Elliot needs to be there somewhere. Also, after the way Kerr was such an a-hole during the Suns series, he may not even make my bottom 5!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

1. Ginobili
2. Duncan
3. Parker
4. Robinson
5. Bowen

[ALVAREZ6]

1. Manu-no real surprise here
2. Bowen-love the guy's attitude towards the game and life in general
3. Tim-he's the reason for the Spurs success
4. Robinson-He'd probably be 2 on this list had I seen him play more
5. TP-his dedication to the tear drop and lay-ups impress me, they set him apart from most other PGs

[mrsmaalox]

Wow, Avery Johnson hasn't made anyone's list? I didn't live here when he played but I thought he was pretty popular.

[bdictjames]

1. Duncan (of course)
2. David
3. Manu
4. Tony
5. Bruce

That also can be a starting 5ive right there.

[bdictjames]

Wow, Avery Johnson hasn't made anyone's list? I didn't live here when he played but I thought he was pretty popular.
Yeah I know its not like he now coaches a rival team or something like that. I wonder why.. :lol

[makedamnsure]

I feel like a loser because all the players I could mention would be from the 90s and beyond since I'm 16 and didn't get to see the Iceman or anyone in that era play

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

1. Duncan
2. Manu
3. Bowen
4. Robinson
5. TP


(Horry gets honorable mention, by game 5 in 2005 alone)

[fyatuk]

Wow, Avery Johnson hasn't made anyone's list? I didn't live here when he played but I thought he was pretty popular.

I never liked him. He annoyed me, and I always thought he was just good enough that the Spurs didn't try for someone better, but not good enough to be Robinson's partner in a championship.

[MI21]

1. David Robinson - My favourite sportsperson of all time.
2. Tim Duncan
3. Malik Rose
4. Stephen Jackson
5. Bruce Bowen

That's just what I'm feeling at the moment, ask me another time and the list might inclue some of Tony, Manu, Person, Elie etc...

(I'm to young to have seen the Iceman)

[DynastyBuilder]

1. Ice
2. Timmy
3. Admiral
4. TC
5. Dominique Wilkins

[Strike]

1. David Robinson, C, #50 - My favorite NBA player of all time. Great player, great
guy. The main reason why I followed professional basketball in my youth

2. Sean Elliott, SF, #32 - I was bummed when he was traded to Detroit and
elated when he returned. The Memorial Day Miracle was a top 5 highlight
in Spurs history.

3. Tim Duncan, PF, #21 - Quite possible the greatest power forward ever to play
the game. Cool under pressure, efficient, hardworking. What's not to like?

4. Bruce Bowen, SF, #12 - Call him dirty if you want. He's a great defender and a
hard working son of a bitch! Any coach would want a guy like this defending
the best opposing player night in and night out.

5. Avery Johnson, PG, #6 - Though he now coaches the rival Dallas Mavericks,
Avery helped bring home San Antonio's 1st championship, and validation for
my years of almosts and could have been's as a Spurs fan since 1989.

HONORABLE MENTIONS

George Gervin, G-F, #44 - The original star of the Spurs. Though he played
before I followed basketball, watching archive footage of the Iceman's finger
roll and his smooth, cool play makes his nickname obvious. Was that cheesy
enough?

Willie Anderson, SG, #40 - He didn't have the career people expected he
would have, but he was always a player I rooted for even after he left San Antonio.

[SenorSpur]

1. Robinson - the most athletic 5-man to ever play the game.
2. Duncan - the best PF to ever play the game
3. Gervin - one of the most unstoppable offensive scorers to ever play the game
4. Silas - the Spurs first true PG and consummate floor general. Clutch shooter
5. Elliott - best SF to ever grace the Spurs roster.

Honorable mention:
Larry Kenon - awesome scorer and rebounder
Artis Gilmore - dominant rebounder and defensive force for the Spurs in the early '80's
Alvin Robertson - gets more recent attention for his off-the-court issues, but was the preeminent backcourt defender in the league during his first 4-5 years. Versatile guard who could do it all - rebound, score, pass and defend.

[Kent_in_Atlanta]

I've only been following the Spurs for 15 years, but I'll give you my favorite 5 over that span:

1 - Duncan
2 - Robinson
3 - Ginobili
4 - Sean Elliot
5 - Chuck Peson (Hey... what can I say? I like guys who can get hot and knock down 3's from half-court. Brent Barry would be #6)

Those were my farvorite 5 of the last 15, but here are the BEST 5 of the last 15 years:

1 - Duncan
2 - Robinson
3 - Ginobili
4 - Parker
5 - Elliot

5. Sean Elliot - Believe (in Miracles).

[BigBeezie]

Duncan (best PF to ever play the game, the reason we have championships)

Robinson (classy guy, that has given so much to this city. I met him and he was great)

Manu (no ball check needed here, this guy loves the pressure and has guts)

Bruce (best defender ever, he could contain MJ...no doubt)

Sean Elliot (great all around player, and I met him and he was nothing but nice)

Honorable Mention:

Parker (he should have been in that beer commercial, regarding how fast he is)

Avery Johnson (very nice guy, a little annoying when speaks but won some games for us)

Dennis Rodman (the novelty of having a Rodman was great for us)

George Gervin (I never really had a chance to watch this guy play)
