When Tony was with Eva they'd always go to Stonewerks at the Quarry or Kona Grill at La Cantera.
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!
Last year my wife and I went to Silo for our anniversary and Tim and Amy showed up. I'm not the type to go up and bother him but towards the end of our dinner she said to go to the restroom. So I did and I crossed Tim in the hallway. He said "hi", I said "hi" and I figured that would be it.
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
Seen Antonio Daniels at lifetime. He has also asked out my mom on two occasions. Don't know the second story, but the first time was at the Tetco on Stone Oak Parkway, she was in line, he asked her if she wanted to take a ride in his Lamborghini. 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.
Ok, when did David move ? That's news to me and didn't know it was public knowledge.
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...
A friend who works at DPS said that DRob came in with his second son to get the kid a driver's license. Damn that makes me feel old.
Dave sold admirals way and got a nice plot of land towards the hill country.
I used to play paintball with timmy regularly a few years back.
I used to live across the street from Mark Olberding, former bruise brother.
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.
