Your top 10 Favorite Spurs of All time

Who are your top ten favorite spurs of all time? I'm not talking about talent or stats, but the players that are just your favorite for one reason or another. You can't be wrong-unless you pick someone who has never played for the Spurs.... feel free to share why you chose who you did.

Here are mine:
1. David Robinson
2. Tim Duncan
3. Manu Ginobili
4. Sean Elliott
5. Tony Parker
6. Bruce Bowen
7. Avery Johnson
8. Mario Elie
9. George Hill
10. Malik Rose

No Gervin cuz I'm young and started watching during the Del Negro, JR Ried, Doc Rivers, Chuck Person (almost made the list) days, but those were tough times. Everyone on my list has at least one ring but Hill.

I'm a fan since 94 so I'll put players after that

1-Duncan
2 -Robinson
3 - Manu
4 - Bowen
5 - Parker
6 - Elliott
7 - Rose
8 - Jax
9 - AJ
10 - Horry

I get it.. you like the foreign players. Is the a particular reason Rasho is #1? and Parker not on the list?

My Top 10:

1.) Manu Ginobili (style of play; passion for the game)
2.) David Robinson (class act; role model)
3.) Tim Duncan (most sound player I've ever watched)
4.) Bruce Bowen (never failed to inspire me with his defense)
5.) Avery Johnson (always in command on the floor)
6.) Tony Parker (human highlight reel, I mean seriously, routine 1 on 3 fast breaks?)
7.) Malik Rose (who says heart can't make up for height?)
8.) Mario Elie (never took shit from anybody; lit a fire under the teams' ass in '99)
9.) Sean #32 (memorial day miracle alone was enough to make my list!)
10.)Steve Kerr (dude was clutch!)

Honorable Mention: Robert Horry, Vinny Del Negro, George Hill

1- Robinson (reason why I started to root for the spurs)
2- Timmy (rings and class act perfect combination)
3- TP (the frenchie who deserves more love) / Manu (always put manu and tp together on a ranking to avoid a civil war)
4- Bruce
5- Sean
6- Ice Man
7- Jax
8- Horry
9- The beast
10- The coyote

1. Tim Duncan

Angel_luv is a Slovenian trapped in the body of an American.

1. Ginobili
2. Duncan
3. Robinson
4. Elliott
5. Parker
6. Jax
7. Bowen
8. Kerr
9. Horry
10. Rose

The last 2 or 3 could easily get replaced by Blair or Hill later on in their careers if they stick with the franchise...

1. Tim Duncan
2. Manu Ginobili
3. Sean Elliott
4. David Robinson
5. Robert Horry
6. Brent Barry
7. Tony Parker
8. Bruce Bowen
9. Mario Elie
10. Speedy Claxton

Sadly, the Spurs never had that option after Spider got injured in Seattle the previous round. He could have given some decent minutes when Bowen went to the bench.

1. Tim Duncan..
2. David Robinson..
3. Bruce Bowen..
4. Robert Horry..
5-6. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili..
7. Stephen Jackson..
8. Sean Elliott..
9. Steve Kerr..
10. DeJuan Blair..

Quick list off the top of my head.
1. David Robinson - Super star of the human race
2. Tim Duncan - 4 rings
3. Manu Ginobli - I like his style and energy
4. George Gervin - Had his 'ice throne' poster on my wall as a kid
5. Bruce Bowen - The guy was an underdog his whole life and became the best at his job.
6. Tony Parker - Underrated and willing to listen and improve every year
7. Malik Rose - All heart and hustle
8. Robert Horry - for those 2 rings
9. George Hill - Young player who just 'gets it'
10. Sean Elliott - For the best Memorial Day ever!

Ugh. So many Spurs that I left off the list, but appreciate them all. Blair will definitely be on this list soon, but who do you bump? I loved A.J. on and off the court also...

1. Tim Duncan
2. Bruce Bowen
3. David Robinson
4. Tony Parker
5. Manu Ginobili
6. Robert Horry
7. Sean Elliott
8. Stephen Jackson
9. George Hill
10. George Gervin

Other players: Malik Rose, DeJuan Blair, Brent Barry, Fabricio Oberto, Avery Johnson, Mario Elie

Seriously there's alot.

1. Tim Duncan
2. Manu Ginobili
3. Brent Barry
4. Tony Parker (when he's not shooting long jumpers)
5. David Robinson (watched him when he was near retirement, so he falls down the list)
6. Bruce Bowen
7. Robert Horry (Big Shot Rob was unconventional, but he did the right things at their time)
8. Steven Jackson
9. Malik Rose
10. Fabricio Oberto (smart, smart player, I miss all those backdoor cuts he had for a quick lay-in)

Hill and Blair, 3 years down, would be moving up the list.

1-Manu Ginobili
2-Sean Elliott
3-Brent Barry
4-Bruce Bowen
______________________________________ top 4 came easy

1. David Robinson
2. Tim Duncan
3. Manu Ginobili
4. Sean Elliott
5. Avery Johnson
6. Tony Parker
7. Bruce Bowen

1. Gervin
2. Kenon
3. Duncan
4. Robinson
5. Silas
6. Parker
7. Manu
8. Elliott
9. G. Hill
10. Robertson

1. David Robinson Reason i became a Spurs fan...
2. Tim Duncan Does this need explaining?
3. Sean Elliott That 3 ... enough said.
4. Brent Barry I dont know what it was about him, but i just liked his playing style and humour.
5. George Gervin That laugh cracks me up every time.
6. Manu Ginobili / Tony Parker (Tie) Is this cheating? :P
8. Bruce Bowen No rings without this man.
9. Malik Rose It sucked when he was traded, and he was amazing versus the Lakers and Dallas.
10. Dejuan Blair The newcomer!

For me, it was almost impossible to list any player that wasnt really a 'Spur', but more of a loan player - like Robert Horry (dudes more known for the lakers) and Mario Ellie (Rocket through and through) - Brent Barry was the exception, because he won with the Spurs and nowhere else...

1. David Robinson- Second franchise superstar and HOFer.
2. Tim Duncan - Best PF in NBA history
3. George Gervin Franchise best scorer, first superstar & HOFer
4. Sean Elliott - Best SF in Spurs history
5. James Silas - Captain Late; best scoring PG in ABA
6. Larry Kenon- 20-10 PF. Played like SF. Single game steals leader (11 vs PHX)
7. Manu Ginobili- Flat out winner & competitor; best all-around player
8. Alvin Robertson-Best defender in club history. Single-season Stl record
9. Bruce Bowen - 2nd best defender in club history.
10.Tony Parker- Best and quickest PG in club history. 2007 Finals MVP

Honorable Mention:
Robert Horry - Big Shot Rob deserves a place for saving 2005 Finals
Mike Mitchell - Flat-out 20-pt scorer. Laker killer. Part of original Spurs big 3.
Stephen Jackson- Cold-blooded killer with moxie. Didn't stay long enuff
Artis Gilmore - Dominant Center. Part of Spurs original Big 3 (Ice & Mitch). Should be in HOF
George Johnson - Played only 2 years in SA; led NBA in blocked shots both times.
Johnny Moore - Transitional PG after Silas era. Led NBA in stls and ast
