So who has spotted some of the SPURS in the Alamo City and where? I have yet to come into one but i would really like to meet one of the big 3. I would also like to run into George or Dejuan. Im pretty sure they all hang out around The Rim area right?:flag:
stalker
Yeah dood i see duncan at gamestop at la cantera almost every other day
I think I know where Alvin Robertson is.
So thats it? Only one person on this board has ran into one? Just trying to see if any REAL San Antonio natives have ran into them in the streets of SA...
I've run into d-rob 3 times since 1991. K-willis once... and maybe avery johnson back in 1991 or so.
I ran into geogre hill at cowboys dance hall over the summer..He was there on college night stayed for a bit and rode the mechanical bull..
Yeah I was there that night too assuming it was the same night... he took pictures with me and my fiance and was real cool about itQuote:

Saw Robinson and Elliott at a chiropractor once while getting my neck fixed; saw Elliott again at a home depot(was disappointed to not catch him at a taco cabana); not a spur but Peter Holt came to one of our high school basketball games as we beat his son's scrub team. Also saw a lot of Paul Pressey at my elementary school as his kids went there for a year.
I just met Brent Barry on Sunday. Very cool guy.
Met Manu Ginobili at Best Buy near North Star Mall. (Super Cool experience)
Saw Tim Duncan last summer at an Italian restaurant. He was getting something from his car (Challenger). Said "Hi" and got a wave back.
Saw David Robinson at EZ's once. (Didn't speak to him)
I've seen Sean Elliott all over town. First time was his rookie year. He and his parents were walking down St. Mary's Street.
Saw Bruce Bowen at the airport. He was on his way to Las Vegas for Olympic tryouts. (Didn't speak to him)
Saw Robert Horry at a Mixed Martial Arts event. Tim was there too.
(Didn't speak to him)
Saw Malik Rose at Dave and Buster's years ago.
(Didn't speak to him)
Saw Steve Kerr at Paloma Blanca's. (Didn't speak to him)
I've never asked any of them for an autograph. I joked around with Manu and shook his hand. I said "thank you" for the Championships.
I'm sure there are more. When you've lived here 30 years, you're bound to run into people in this Small Town/Big City.
I ran into DeJuan when I was in San Antonio in Feburary. Met him in a Sportstore at the Riverwalk Mall and he bought about 10 caps. Didn't talk to him though. Just stood in the line behind him. Guy is huge. Not lengthwise but wide shoulders...
Met Kevin Willis at North Star once, saw TP at North Star once, David Robinson was at my Best Buy store that I work at, met Malik Rose at the Apple Store at La Cantera. I think that's it.
waited on Devin Brown when I was working at Clear Springs
Brent Barry is a regular at Stonewerks in the Quarry
talked to Robert Horry at CPK in the Huebner Oaks Shopping Center
Saw Tiago Splitter at Fogo de Chau eating with his (wife/girlfriend?) a few weeks ago.
Bagged Speedy Claxton and Danny Ferry groceries when I worked at the H.E.B at basse and broadway back in 02/03.
Met Malik Rose, his uncle, and I think was his little nephew, at AMC huebner back when Aliens vs predetors came out.
Met Manu Ginobili and Stephen Jackson at the first preseason game ever at the SBC/At&t center.
Saw and waved to Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Sean Marks, Barbossa at Rivercenter back in the 2008 playoffs.
Met and shook hands with the Parker family at Petco back in 05. Parker was buying cat supplies.
saw 5-0 at best buy on I-10
Saw neal in a bush at UTSA.
I find myself, once again, wishing I was local. :depressed

I heard you can catch them @ the AT&T Center whenever they are playing a home game.
Actually saw Bruce Bowen on a street in NYC last year It was during the Mavericks series and he was in town doing ESPN stuff. Told him we were from SA and asked if he could do provide some emergency D on Dirk (No luck.) He was super cool and conversational. :toast
Met D-Rob in the movie theater (Fiesta 16) back in the 90's
Met Bruce Bowen when he was withdrawing massive amounts of cash a few years ago at the BoA at Blanco and 1604 (Probably paying for some Yardley's stuff as they were building it at the time)
Saw TP at one of the bars I used to go to called the Back Porch but its out of business (they gave him 2 free bottles of Grey Goose and kicked out the original party in the VIP section. He didn't tip... jerkoff)
Met that jackhole Vinnie Del Negro when I waited tables at Carrabbas in 97. He came in there all the time, spent hundreds of dollars and would tip us change. I despise him as a customer.
Last time I spent a good amount of time in SA. DRob used to frequent Ruth Chris steak house.
Other than that, when growing up used to Elliott at the castle. Went trick or treating at his house several times (invited in once).
Used to see Elliott at the old blockbuster on NW Highway and Huebner. Its since closed down I think.
Bowen used? to frequent the post office at Lockhill and Huebner.
If you get drunk and bend over, Gary Neal might run into you.Quote:

That is just about it. I don't go out much though. Just Spurs games for me. :P:
When I lived in San Antonio I lived about 3 blocks from George Gervin. Saw him outside his house all the time. The guy lives very modestly, but has a really nice Mercedes (or at least he did).
Saw Duncan at Northwoods Theater once and Zio's another time.
Saw Derek Anderson at one of the mall's one time (can't remember which one).
Saw Matt Bonner walking around Minneapolis once too the night before a Spurs game (the season we traded for him).
When I lived in Oklahoma City:
Saw Chris Paul as Verizon Wireless. Bowling Alley. Steak and Shake (with former Spur Speedy Claxton).
Saw Tyson Chandler at CiCi's Pizza. His wife was a bitch and wanted something more upscale so they left.
Saw David West and Byron Scott at Lowe's.
Saw Shaq, Dwayne Wade and Udonis Haslem at the mall in OKC the night before a Hornets game.
Saw Pau Gasol in the mall (Grizzlies days) night before a Hornets game.
Met Dirk in downtown Dallas right after moving back to the states from Germany in '02.
Per a friend that works there the Ounce Steakhouse in Stone Oak is the hot spot this year. All the players all the time apparently, even post game meals with almost the entire team present. Ive been told the Spurs family can spend some serious coin on the wine menu at this place.
I seen Tony at cvs in the condom isle
Saw Brent at the gun shop
Seen Tim go into planet K in disguise with rasta dreads
Saw Spillter at home depot sitting on the bench.
Seen Hill at Walmart trying to developed some pics but was told no due to their naughtiness
Saw old Spur Mario E @ the liquor store
I never seen CIA Pop but I KNOW HE SEES ME.
I also seen Spurs calf tats on someone once. I was like um go SpursS <---with 2 S's
Ran into David Robinson and his wife at North Star mall. 5 minutes later, ran into Dennis Rodman at the other end of the mall.
I also ran into this guy, who says he is the future head coach of the Spurs. Said if I'm ever on Spurstalk, to look up Tjastal.

Bruce was playing with the foursome behind us on the Resort course at La Cantera on Sunday.
I work in a Luxury store and Robert Horry did a commercial there for 5 Star Cleaners I talked to him for a while, I told him about the hip check that he did to Nash in the playoffs and told him that the only problem with that hit was that it was too soft because Nash got up.
Manu,Tony, Eva, Bruce and his wife also go there sometimes and some other basketball players. I saw DRob once there also but I haven't seen Duncan. I saw Antonio Daniels buying a purse, not for him I hope.
I have heard similar things. I know RJ is a regular there and that a lot of spurs come into that place.Quote:

I also saw Devin Brown at Antro years back.
RC ate at the Salsalitos that my ex-wife worked at on Bandera & 1604.
Again with the Ex-wife....She waited on Ginobili at Acenar downtown.
(She also saw Tony Hawk & Will Smith there.)
Another poster reminded me...George Gervin came to my school when I was in the 8th grade I believe.
Oh yeah, & my dads ex worked for Wille Anderson a million years ago. I got a couple of autographs when I was a wee lad.
My father & I were pretty good friends with Chad Bergman the Asst. Trainer. We use to drink with him at the Irish Pub off Wurzbach & Data Point very frequently. I haven't seen him in over a year & a half or so. I always play Where's Waldo(Chad) when I watch the games.
Met my wife last night at a local Rim area restaurant for a drink for her Birthday. I told her that Sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_ and Tony Parker were there to sing her Happy Birthday! She said, yeah, right?!
Turned around and there they were! The rest of the Spurs showed up later. I was wondering if it was a team Christmas Party / dinner.
I wish I had gotten a picture of her with them. Would have made her birthday! Ironic you started this thread, but it was cool to run into them.
:lobt2:
Damnit, caught by the Eliot rule!
:bang:blah
Saw Johnny Moore at my middle school. He was there to speak, at the time I had no clue who he was.
I saw David, Malik, Johnny Moore and Devin Brown at Malik's old sandwhich shop at the quarry. All three at separate times.
Saw Dejuan and George Hill at a bowling alley.
Saw George Hill with his big entourage at 3 in the morning in a IHOP off 281.
Ate dinner at the table next to George Gervin at Los Barrios, just shook his hand and told him I was a big fan. That's it for me, but obviously I don't live in SA.
I played H-O-R-S-E with Tim Duncan at the Concord Athletic Club the summer after his rookie season, when I was 11 years old.
Def one of the best days of my life.
Whoah ! I played H-O-R-S-E against Allan Houston at the same place. Very cool guy and pretty funny too.Quote:

Used to see Elliott at the Castle & various places around Lockhill selma. Same with Rodman. Been in their house whenn Rodman had it.
Used to see Timmy & R-Rob all the time at various places.
Would see many players (visiting & spurs) at Landry's when they still played downtown. Sometimes at Champs too.
Malik used to live in Sonterra (townhomes) when I lived out there. I lived 2 houses down from Russ Bookbinder.
Ran into Horry at a bar that was behind NorthStar, he was hitting on one of my friends. Ran into him at The Falls when it first opened too.
Just look around & you'll see Spurs players in SA. (mostly on the northside of town * semi northwest side too)
I remember that the "Brick" would come into a restuarant I worked at in 1990 and always tipped a 100 dollar bill. I met David when he was a rookie. I was playing that old video game "arch rivals" and just got done beating this guy, when another token hits the slot and there's a shadow standing next to me. I look over and all I see is hips, but up there near the ceiling was this guy with a buster hat on and he was wearing knee shorts. He said "mind if I play". I said "sure". I beat him too, but that was a trip.
I had Willie Anderson come to my apartment back then, he used to come by to see if I wanted to play fast pitch (using tennis balls) down at the tennis court. Weird sight, all these Porche and Mercedes sitting around a middle income apartment complex, and all these giants out playing fast pitch with tennis balls we found around the woods near the court. They called it "strike out". Willie said he used to play it in Georgia, saw me and my cousin playing and asked if they could join. I think Ninja defense dude was there, not sure, in person it's hard to tell.
I met Fabrico in Bass Pro Shops.
I used to talk to Coach Larry Brown on a weekly basis when he would come pick up his photos (I worked in a lab at that time). We would talk about the games of that week. Coach Brown is one of the coolest guys you could meet.
Saw Terry Cummings in a mall with his entourage.
I used to work with James Silas' son.
Never met Pop but wrote to him and got a response from him, that was cool.

Saw derrick dial at heb buying candy for halloween years ago.
And also balled with amal mcaskill at full life.

Look..I know I shouldnt do this, but I have a good feeling about you. Here's a valuable piece of information that should help with your stalking. A certain former Spur, and future Hall of Famer is known to have a residence in The Dominion, and he lives on Admiral's Way. You'll know it's his house by the huge Spur logo painted on center court in his backyard. Good luck.
Wished I have seen any of the players...out of town
Too bad you aint seent da huked on phoniksQuote:

Nice stories though ST :tu
During that 99 Blazers series, a friend and I were bartending and got several of the Blazers skunk drunk on the house. They hung around until we closed at 2am. The Spurs crushed them the next day. Makes you wonder how often this kind of thing happens.
That makes no sense because the Spurs didn't "crush" the Blazers in either game 1 or game 2.Quote:

Seen Manu 3 times at the Best Buy by the Rim.
Seen Tony driving to practice. (I live a few blocks from the spurs practice facility).
Seen Matt Bonner, RC buford, & Danny ferry at Freebirds.
All my experiences came from when i was working at the movie Northwoods movie theater between 2002-2004.
I saw Parker many times, sometimes he would go with Malik, sometimes with his girl Lola or something like that. He would go during the day on a weekday, nobody in line and once just talked to me for about 5 to 10 minutes asking me about the different movies.
Duncan went several times, he would go during peak hours too, he didn't care. I remember ripping his ticket, he was going to watch the Sum of All Fears.
I saw Elliott a few times with his wife. Didn't talk to him.
Malik Rose got fruit punch from concessions, he asked me if it was cold and he touched the side of the cup and said oh yeah, thats how i like it. haha
Stephen jackson came in wearing that huge silver necklace, he definitely got a crowd around him. Never talked to him.
I saw steve smith once, never talked to him.
I saw Mengke Bateer once, he came during a saturday night. I was working the box office and i look up and see four people in line and then right behind them some huge 7 footer. He's a big guy.
And I also saw Michael Vick once and Sean Michaels once too.

I didn't say "Hey EricD, prove me wrong..."
I was sharing an experience, not writing a fucking sporting news column.
What, are you intimidated because you don't have any experiences to share? If you want, you can have some of mine.. really, I won't tell.
Don't you have some nice screenshot from your video game or some cool yourtube link?
I watched The Da Vinci Code a few rows back from Tim and Amy at Silverado theatre. They are both very nice.
When I worked at Academy, a few Spurs frequented the store like Tony Parker and Malik Rose. Helped Devin Brown load some items into his truck.
I used to live in the same neighborhood as Iceman and would see him around, as well as at Academy. That dude loves his boats and fishing gear.
I also saw Robin Lopez when I was in Phoenix driving around the city.

Here's to hope. :toast
No, it's not like that at all. There's a distinct difference between remembering a title year and remembering one game in a playoff series 20 years ago.
Oh please, can I be on your level? Can I also be self-important on a basketball forum and nitpick reminiscing posts for dates?
So admit it, you are intimidated. It's easy to lob shots from behind your obscurity, but what do you have to offer other than a cherubic upturned visage and a gaping maw?
I saw George Hill inside the Frost Bank at 1604 before Blanco last Wednesday. I've been living in SA for about 2 years and that was the first time I had ran into a Spur.
Like I said, you haven't done shit. You just come here to blow the people who have.Quote:

Met Malik at Best Buy at 281 and 1604. He was standing in back of me in the mechandise return line. Asked him if he was coming back to the Spurs, he said "you never know" he smiled as if he wished he could. He was with the Knicks.
Said hi to George Hill at HEB at 281 and Evans.
And my favorite, met the Iceman at the Bank of America on the other side of 281 and Evans.
Oh noz I been called out on the interweb on spelling....my life is ober.....ober I says.Quote:

I've seen Robert Horry at Tiffanys at La Cantera
I see Tim Duncan all around Boerne and The Dominion and I see DROB every now and then at the lifetime at the Rim.
Mailk Rose is occasionally at the Lifetime at 281 playing ball too.
I live next to Bowens Wifes Salon so I see him pretty consistently and Kurt Thomas was always with him when he was here.
I used to see George Hill at the Buffalo Wild Wings at 281 and 1604 when he first got drafted. He even stopped by to one of our parties in 2008. I havent seen him recently
I saw devin brown once one morning on Huebner rolling around in a brand spanking new red ferrari.
I think that's it.
I've never ever seen Ginobili though, damn!
I see Bowen at least a few times a month jogging.
I've seen Antonio Daniels sitting on a bench eating yogurt outside of orange leaf in the vineyards shopping center a few weeks ago. (Old Spur)
I've seen Jefferson at ounce steakhouse several times.
I've seen Timmy and Bowen at the CVS pharmacy on Heubner and Blanco a couple of years ago when Bowen was still playing.
I see Michael Finley and wife at my kids' school family picnics even a few weeks ago in October he was there (one of my little girls used to be in the same class as Finley's last year-his little girl is very, very tall and sweet!)
I see Yardley, Bowen's wife and Spur players at Yardley's Spa (getting massages??)
I've seen TP at Pavil off 1604 and Huebner
I've seen Malik Rose picking up his mail
I almost forgot, I saw Bonner at the movies. I couldn't help but grin when I saw him. :lol
Almost forgot, also have seen of few of the current players at fundraisers!

We were just about finished with desert when I noticed she kept eying them (I was sitting with my back to them). She asked if I had a pen. They got up to leave and my wife went over to cut them off as they walked by our table. She said “I wouldn’t normally do this but it’s our anniversary”. Tim looks big eyed and startled in that "Tim commits a foul" kind of way but he also knew this woman meant business and couldn’t turn her down. I went up and said “she asked me out originally and I couldn’t turn her down either when she approached me”. Tim smiled and Amy laughed. As he left he said Happy Anniversary and we said thanks.
They drove away in some batmobile looking car with heavily tinted windows.
That's my only brush with a Spur.
Man im born and bred in San Antonio and have yet to ever see one on the streets. I stay on the NW side of the city... Cool stories though! :toast
:lol Cool story...Quote:

She declined, had no clue who he was. My dad then walked into the store, not knowing he had just basically asked my mom out, and acted star struck cause he hadn't seen a Spur before.
Saw Kurt Thomas pumping gas at the same Tetco.
Saw Bruce Bowen driving his really dirty SUV right outside the same Tetco. My mom was driving, I was in the passenger seat and he stopped right beside us. She acted all dorky and I calmly gave him a sideways peace sign. He smiled and waved, can tell he's a good dude.
Saw Devin Brown walking into Costco at 1604 with some chick.
Met Dejuan at the Wal-mart on 1604. He was on the cell phone, I walked up to him, he said wait one second to whoever he was talking to on the phone, I said nice to meet you, he said nice to meet you to, and walked off. Was at like 10 p.m.
The old Spurs announcer before Bill Land (don't remember him) used to frequent Kennedy's. He also hit on my mom religiously cause my parents and him frequented the place on weekends. Offered my mom floor-level seats and an apartment if she ever decided to leave my dad (lol).
Mom also met Robert Horry, but don't recollect what happened.
No I'm not posting pics of my mom.
Cool thread btw.
I use to see Bonner, Parker, Mason, and Vaughn all the time last season going too a from the practice facility. I have seen Pop at the cleaners and a gas station.
Long ago I saw Marcus Bryant and Bruce Bowen at Stonewerks. I saw Terry Cummings about 10 years ago at Northstar Mall. I met George Hill at a basketball camp. I made a sundae for David Robinson at Dairy Queen in Rolling Oaks mall, that was my first job in 1994. I have also seen David at the airport. I also use to see Antonio Daniels at some night clubs as well as Samaki Walker and Malik Rose.
I see quite a few of them from time to time, particularly in and around my folks' neighborhood. I also see David Robinson and Bruce Bowen regularly at church.
He banged her.Quote:

I've decided to share more details about when I met Manu because its a pretty cool story. I shared it once before but I think it was on another Spurs forum :rolleyes.
Everyone remembers how Manu was a stud during the Championship run in 2005. During the opening round against Denver, he absolutely went out and ripped the heart out of the Nugget fans. They were so pissed that he was nailing 3's and making short work of them that they booed him every time he touched the ball or entered the game. Hard fouls, intentional fouls, nothing could stop Manu...not even Ditka.
During Game 3, after Manu had sealed the game, I shook my head in amazement and told my wife, "Honey, I love you but if I see that man walking down the street I'm going to give him a hug. Just warning you now."
Well, fast forward a few weeks and I'm still on a high from the Spurs winning their 3rd championship against the defending Champs in a 7 game series. I went to Best Buy near NSMall to get a firewire cable for my video camera. When I walked in, there was Manu. At that time I was 34 years old and I've never been an autograph seeker. Anyhoo, I didn't approach him and just left it at that.
Well, I didn't find what I was looking for in the camera department so I asked someone for some help. The customer service rep obliged me and took me over to the Computer area. Absolutely no one was there except for Manu Ginobili. He was looking for the same thing apparently. So there I am, standing right next to him. What was I supposed to do ?
I decided to talk to him. I first told him the "hug" story which started him laughing and then said "don't worry, I'm not going to hug you but I'd like to shake your hand and say "Thank you for the Championships you've helped bring to the city". He shook my hand and said "Thank you, sir. I appreciate that."
It's funny, he called me "sir", yet I felt like a little kid meeting Santa Clause. Probably one of the coolest moments for me.
I remembered a few other Spur sightings. I saw Nazr Mohammed and his family as well as Bruce Bowen at PF Changs in the Quarry.
If you didn't see Terry Cummings at the Mall, you weren't looking.
I saw Doc Rivers at NSM.
I saw Danny Ferry leaving the HEB near Nacogdoches and N. New Braunfels right before the season started.
I saw Dwayne Schintzius at NSM.
I saw Chris Whitney at NSM. It's funny, he stopped me and asked if I was the one who installed his car stereo. No.
I saw Dennis Rodman at a throwback clothing / boutique store on St. Mary's street. He used to drive an obnoxiously big pickup truck. Very cool guy.
I saw JR Reid at Las Palapas with his girlfriend one night. He wasn't even a Spur anymore. I told him he deserved royalties for the "And 1" phrase and he looked at his girlfriend and said "I told you !" They were both laughing about it. He's the first person I ever heard use it.
I spoke with Johnny Moore at the Acura dealership for a while. We were both waiting for our cars at the service department.
I've seen George Gervin at Best Buy and the Concord.
I used to see Coby Deitrich around Alamo Heights. Does that count ?
Whoah, I had more sightings than I thought. I'll end it here.
I forgot to mention the best of all when Rasho and Beno played here...I went to a night club and accidentally crashed a VIP Beno and Rasho party...Myself and a buddy went to an alleged restricted area upstairs that was not blocked off at the time and hung out with them until someone called us out.
Funniest part was a guy from Rasho's party asking my buddy how we knew Rasho and Beno... and my buddy responds with "We are with Rasho.." So when the guy says "Rasho, you know these guys?? he shakes his head no..." Then we are escorted to the lower level of the club where Robert Horry is standing at the end of the stairs...I guess he was not invited to that party, but he was surrounded by a few young females.
Good times... to this day my buddy and I use that line "We are with Rasho" but for some strange reason it really has not gotten us anywhere yet...
Sounds like something right out of a DeNiro / Pacino mobster movie. :lolQuote:

Saw tony and eva and some of his french buddies at the bowling alley. He made one of his buds "do fucking pushups" when tony had made a strike. They were making a scene and going nuts yelling in french/english.
Tim and Antonio Daniels were sitting behind us at Champps during the 99 lockout.
David Robinson and family (including his parents) sat right next to us at PF Changs a few years ago.
My son saw DRob at Best Buy last summer.
My friend was good friends with Antonio Daniels' wife, Sonia (they used to work together at USAA).
Forgot one--Terry Cummings' twin daughters played against my son's Y team back when he was like in 4th grade.
And thus endeth my Spurs sightings
I saw David Robinson at Fiesta 16 theatre near Clark High school about 7 years ago. He was with his boys. they went to go see Kangaroo Jack. Then i saw D-Rob again at Mcdonalds on DeZavala in the same. I ve seen Antonio Daniels, Tony Parker and Steve Kerr a few times at Six Flags Fiesta Tx were I once worked about 6 years ago. Ive seen Samaki walker at Papa Daux by himself at the bar once. He looked sad.
