[Budkin]

Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Parker
Ginobili

[DAF86]

I guess that people from other teams are voting as well. If this poll'd be among Spurs fans only Manu and Sean would be much higher.

[ambchang]

So who are the two idiots who didn't vote for Robinson and the 38 idiots who didn't vote for Gervin?

(945 votes for Duncan, 943 for Robinson and 907 for Gervin).

[NASpurs]

It's interesting to think that we have three of the five greatest Spurs of all time playing on our team right now.

Tim Duncan
George Gervin

I voted for Artic Gilmore. There is a conspiracy to keep him out of the hall of fame.

No way is Artis above Duncan, Manu, Tony, David, or George.

How can you forget Sean Elliot? One of the Foreigners has to go.


And wtf is up with that dirk is my daddy crap

[greens]

Duncan
Ginobili
Parker
Elliott
Robinson



If Bruce Bowen was on the list, I would have voted for him instead of Sean Elliott.

You need to learn how to spell Elliott, son.

Well, that's rude. Let's take Manu/Tony off the list because they are foreigners? Um...no comment.

[carina_gino20]

no Gervin?

Because you are stupid.

You know Duncan's a foreigner, too, right?

[JustSpurs]

Iceman
Robinson
Timmy
Manu
Parker



Was hard to pick just 5.

[Findog]

Zarko Paspalj
Dwayne Schintzius
Jon Sundvold
Will Perdue
Jaren Jackson

[Strike]

5. Elliott
4. Parker
3. Gervin
2. Robinson
1. Duncan

[DespЏrado]

Leaving Manu or Tony off the list is so incredibly difficult as to be almost impossible.

They have meant more to the Spurs actually winning the rings than either Gervin or Elliott.

I think as Tony and Manu finish their career in San Antonio, it will be only that much more difficult to leave them out of the best ever to suit up in silver and black. And they will probably both edge out Elliott off the top 5 list. Even given his heroics of playing with a bad kidney, but really he was only a part of one championship run. I'm sad to say it, but Manu and Parker have earned the right to be in the top 5.

Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Manu
Tony

Dwayne Schintzius




LOL...he did have an awsome mullet! :lmao

[dbreiden83080]

Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Parker
Ginobili

Agreed

[Obstructed_View]

Zarko Paspalj
Dwayne Schintzius
Jon Sundvold
Mengke Bateer
Lloyd Daniels

Fixed.

[samikeyp]

Gervin
Robinson
Duncan
Parker
Elliott*

*-right now. I think by the end of his career, Manu takes that spot.

[jestersmash]

Duncan, Parker, Robinson, Elliott, Ginobili

[dunkman]

Parker
Ginobili
Gervin
Duncan
Robinson

[TMTTRIO]

Not that it really matter much but it's kind of interesting though Manu is the only one on that list (other than Mitchell) that isn't a two time All Star or anything. I think he still has a little bit of time :).

[spurspf]

5. Elliott
4. Parker
3. Gervin
2. Robinson
1. Duncan

With that team on the floor, we would still defend, OK maybe not so much, but who could stop the Spurs from scoring?

Four of those guys are top notch defenders. All you have to do is tell Ice to force his man baseline and you've got the best defensive Spurs team ever.

[Texas_Ranger]

Tp

[Jimcs50]

In order:

TD
DRob
Ice
Parker
Sean

They are asking who are greatest Spurs of all time.

Ice > Manu or TP There is not a player today in the NBA that could keep Ice from averaging 30 pts a game.

Remember, he averaged over that back when hand checking was legal.

[DAF86]

I think that if Manu and Tony play their entire NBA careers in SA they are going to get a bigger status among spurs fans than Gervin

[rAm]

I feel like those who left out Dirk_is_my_daddy_Dirk_is_my_daddy_Dirk_is_my_daddy _Dirk_is_my_daddy_Dirk_is_my_daddy_Dirk_is_my_dadd y_ weren't around when he played. He was as much a Spur as anyone else on that list.

[rAm]

I don't get that shit? Why does that even happen.

I would disagree. They might achieve similar status but never bigger. Without Gervin, Parker and Ginobili still have great careers but not in San Antonio because the Spurs would be elsewhere or not at all.

The mods still have that little javascript that turns Elliott (if you leave of one of the t's) into that Dirk=ShawnKemp thingy.

[rAm]

ahhh I see, I am misspelling his name!

Considering he used to be my favorite player growing up, I should be ashamed :bang

That would be my rationale.

You almost have to have Robinson and Gervin on the list, no matter what. That's like leaving Hank Aaron and Dale Murphy off of a Braves list, for example.

[timvp]

USAToday listing Robertson, Kenon and Mitchell but not Bowen is a joke. Bowen and Elliott are the sixth and seventh best players in Spurs history. It's tough saying who is better but I think Bowen gets the nod due to the championships.

At least Steve Kerr didn't make their top ten :rolleyes

[Galileo]

looks like the big three will make it.

[greens]

I also think Bruce should be on the list!

And I find it rather interesting that some people even here are not choosing Manu in the top five. How is that possible? I don't know.

Because a lot of us choose to give George Gervin his proper respect by putting him in the top five. The guy is in the Hall of Fame, won 4 scoring titles, made 5 All-NBA first teams and was a 12-time all-star. He also was the face of this franchise for the first 15 years of its existence and a big reason why the Spurs stayed in SA and was brought into the NBA.

You can still put Manu instead of Tony or Sean

[samikeyp]

You can still put Manu instead of Tony or Sean

Yes you can but not instead of Gervin. That is why I put the * by Sean's name and that note about Manu. To me they are virtually tied but Manu still has a lot of ball left. I do think that TP has established himself as the best PG the Spurs have ever had. But no top 5 should be without Gervin. IMO any list of all-time Spurs starts with Ice, DRob and Duncan, in any order you want but you have to start with those three.

[ShoogarBear]

Only from the young and/or dumb. Without Ice there wouldn't be a San Antonio Spurs basketball team today.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Interestingly, Shaq is top five on both the Magic and the Heat.

If he's selected for the Lakers top 5 he'll complete the trifecta.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Only from the young and/or dumb. Without Ice there wouldn't be a San Antonio Spurs basketball team today.

There will never be another Iceman.

[Spurminator]

Is Larry Kenon getting the shaft here? I know next to nothing about him but 20 and 10 is nothing to sneeze at.

I would say yes. He wasn't a popular guy, but if you're just talking about overall basketball skills, he was probably better than Eliott.

[Biggems]

1. Robinson
2. Duncan
3. Gervin
4. Parker
5. Manu

if you look at only his body of work, Alvin Robertson was awesome, especially having done what he did being surrounded by scrubs in the late 80s.

any lifelong Spurs fan, born before the 90s will totally have your back on this one.

I was way too young when Kenon played....what position did he play?
