[George Gervin's Afro]

Ok it's a summer thread

center- David Robinson
PF-Tim Duncan
SF-Sean Elliott

The 2 guard and small forward are the toughest choices in my opinion.. manu, Bowen, Alvin Robertson...

I'm still drunk off the championship to think of two people of the same caliber as Beno to put in the last category, but I had to fill a 15 man roster.

TOM COPA was the ultimate HUMAN VICTORY CIGAR. If anyone remembers, fans would be chanting COPA during blowouts hoping to see just a mere glimpse of his greatness. I wonder why Beno never gets a chant?

[MrChug]

You young.

He may be (and he's not) but if you can seriously compare the greatness of Johnny Moore and say he's better than Tony Parker I'd reply:

You stupid.

[spursfaninla]

Sean at his Peak vs. bowen is tough. I think what Sean brings on offense makes up for the difference between him and Bowen on D, which was significant but not outrageous. Sean was a very good defender. Bowen is all-time.

Now, Gervin vs. Manu has a similar problem. Gervin is easily the most talented scoring wing in Spurs history. But he played when the team couldn't defend its own shadow. Its hard to evaluate how well he would have fit into the Spurs system because of this. On the face of it, manu's offensive numbers vs Gervin's are a crush for Gervin, but Manu's defense kills' Gervins.

Manu, on the other hand, is a good defender with a history of winning (and occasionally losing) playoff series for his team. He has become a very good 3pt shooter, manages his ego better than 99% of the NBA by being the 6th man and took a salary hit for the team. Some say if he was the main option, he would score like the top wings in the league. To his detriment has been his inability to play more than 30 minutes a game for a season and perhaps more tellingly his inability to be effective with the second unit when he is the only "creating" scorer on the floor; teams just double him and then run back on the spot-up shooters. Gervin would have never been neutralized so easily, and he was the main guy on his team when he played so we know that for a fact; of course, they didn't play defense until the 90's (or so they say)...

In the end, an interesting question but impossible to know because they played in vastly different systems. It would be Interesting to see what Manu would do as the primary option in a system correctly built to use him correctly. It would also be interesting to see how Gervin did in the demanding Defensive system so key to the Spurs current success. My guess: Gervin was simply unstoppable offensively, and his individual defensive lacking would be helped out by team defense. With Parker, Sean, David (both at peak) and Tim, either Gervin or Manu would make juggernaut that only all-history combinations of players would match.

ha ha, so much for dream world imaginations.

Sixth Man:

[jdaveah]

I'm assuming we're talking about players at the peak of their tenure with the Spurs...players like Nique and Finley would be on the team if it was their normal peak we're talking about and not their best years with us. Operating under this assumption..

C - Robinson
PF - Duncan
SF - Gervin
SG - Manu
PG - Parker

BENCH
PG - Moore
SG - Silas
SF - Elliott
PF - Kenon
C - Gilmore
SF - Bowen
PF - Paultz (Gotta have the Whopper guys, come on)

I only put players that I saw, since I'm a fan since 94 I didn't see Ice plays

[barbacoataco]

fan since 1988
1st Team 2nd Team 3rd Team

Center- D. Robinson A. Gilmore B. Paultz
PF- T. Duncan L. Kenon T. Cummings
SF- S. Elliott B. Bowen A. Robertson (not really a SF)
SG- G. Gervin M. Ginobili James Silas
PG- T. Parker A. Johnson J. Moore

OK so replace Marks with Copa and my all time roster wins championships easily.

[bdictjames]

Parker
Gervin
Bowen

[SequSpur]

bonner, rasho, paspalj, herrera, carter

[jdaveah]

Wasnt ice more of a small forward?

[inconvertible]

David Robinson
Tim Duncan
George Gervin
Tony Parker
Mike Mitchell

this line up would be dominating.

[whottt]

Jackie Butler
Malik Rose
Stephen Jackson
Devin Brown

6th Man: Scola


You beat me to it..

I'd definitely replace Malik with Scola though.


And you left out the immortal Bob Hill as coach. :smokin

To me, they're all no-brainers. Granted I never saw Si play, but I never heard of Si scoring 19 in a quarter on the road in a conference finals game, being the best player on the floor in a series as big as the Finals, outplaying a first ballot hall of famer like Nash almost every time they meet up in the playoffs, and so on.

Ice was a SG his whole career. It's the position he was voted to all star teams as, the position he got All-NBA selections as, and the position he defended.

No love for Alvin Robertson? does anyone remember he was our best player for a while.. even had a quadruple double..

What some of you guys say is mind boggeling....

[samikeyp]

This being an "all-time" Spurs team....any starting lineup that does not include George Gervin should be immediately thrown out and forgotten.

C-Robinson
PF-Duncan
SF-Elliott
SG-Ice
PG-Parker

Bench:
Ginobili
Cummings
Rodman
Moore
Silas
Gilmore
Mitchell

Oh and my IR AKA "Human Victory Cigar"...

Uwe Blab! :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fan since 1990, so only considering players since then, the team I'd like to see play (although I think the bench is a little long :lol ):

Robinson
Duncan
Elliot
Ginobili
Parker

Big Dog Carr
Terry Cummings
Chuck Person
Bruce Bowen
Robert Horry
Malik Rose
Stephen Jackson
Willie Anderson
Speedy Claxton
Antonio Daniels

and...

Will Purdue! The season DRob went out with the back injury (the 'Nique year) he was a beast - 8.7ppg, 9.8rpg!, 1.57bpg :lol

I thought Ice played a lot of his ABA career at the SF. If Ice ever objected to playing SF, then I'd move him to SG and let Manu play the three on my all-time team. There's no way I could leave Ginobili off my all-time Spurs lineup. I love Sean's first step, Mitchell's J, and Kenon's size and athleticism, but none of them is the jack of all trades that Manu is.

[spurscenter]

My Starting All Time Five

Pg - Tony Parker
Sg - Manu Ginobili
Sf - Uwe Blab
Pf - Tim Duncan
C - Tom Copa

[Brutalis]

Guys Gervin was not a SF so why list him there?

The SL is obvious except at SF ironically. If you want to win the title, you go with Bowen. If you're trying to come back from 20 down, you go with Sean.

DRob/Timmy/Bowen/Gervin/Parker is mine.
Sean, Manu 6th and 7th

[slayermin]

Admiral
TD
Bowen
Iceman

Because Gervin was a SF too.

Given the actual 15 men roster :

pm Parker - Silas - Moore
