Vinny Del negro and a named Matt Othick. After that I just kept watching and enjoyed what I saw. Then I got interested in their history post-draft Robinson players( Strickland, Brickowski Wingate........) And how their offense and defense change/stayed the same up until today.

I'd like to extend the olive branch and offer you guys a seat with Laker Nation.
It's a lifetime of happiness, and a better future for your children.
Honstly for me it's just one of those everyday experiences. It was the day David got drafted. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting at home and watching the draft while your mom blew me, I blew my load in her hair (it's kind of my thing)the moment they said his name. Just one of those memories I guess.
The Admiral...
and they represent my Hometown.
I lived in Western NY so I didn't have a connection to the Spurs, until David Robinson came into the league and quickly became one of my favorite players (I even got the first gen Robinson "pump" shoes). Then my sister moved to Austin and would take me to Spurs games at Hemisfair when I visited. I moved to Austin in 1998 just in time for the first championship season and have been a rabid fan ever since.
who's your NFL team?Quote:

I adore Duncan's game. He doesn't do anything fancy (I am not capable of fancy shit on the court either). He just goes out and sticks to the basics and crushes people. From that I learned of his teamwork and all that other good stuff.
When David Robinson was drafted
.. i really didn't watch basketball until i turned 13 .. i excatly dont remember when i started watching the SPURS but they have been my only nba team and i have been i die hard SPURS FAN .. the only reason i can think of is MANUUUUU .. i love watching him play .. he is just AMAZING ..
I was just born into it. My dad has been a die-hard since the beginning in 1973 and the rest is history. The first time I actually remember caring if the Spurs won or lost was when I was 7 yrs old. The Spurs lost to the Jazz in the '96 WCSF and I cried.

Pro ball was almost a cult phenomenon before the arrival of Magic & Bird. Not only that, I guess my family was crazy. Don't like basketball, are you nuts?
Anyway, I don't think I saw a pro basketball game before my freshman year in high school. We had a dude named Doug Moe Jr on our HS's basketball team, and thru that I found out about a team called The San Antonio Spurs, and a legend named George Gervin.
When george gervin was played in the aba..
Born and raised in San Antonio. Went to my first spurs game against the Hawks at the Alamodome I remember in 96 when I was six years old, and remember the dome being empty for a afternoon game I believe, cause the spurs sucked at that time.All my friends were bulls fan, and remember when they would never show a bulls game because it would be sold out cause of Jordan, and would have to buy it on ppv lol. After they drafted Duncan, I would see them here, and there as a little kid, but really didn't care too much being so young. When they won the championship in 99. I would see about every playoff series after that, if I remembered they were playing. I always followed the spurs after that, and knew who was on the team every year, or what the record was, and seeding, and when they played, but never really looked at the big picture like I do now. Now being more in love with the Spurs because I know it's the beggining of the end. I really haven't missed watching a game since the 08-09 season.
fixed....Jean or Jacques he was a mess
If'n you aint followed the Spurs since at least the 1990's, you ain't nothing.
You ain't nothing:)
after the jordan era ended...like most kids around the country i jumped off the bandwagon and hopped on board the spurs bandwagon because they were from san antonio and that was close to were i lived. i was fortuned enough to experience a title the very first year i started to root from there and i have been on the wagon ever since with no plans on getting off it.
You were a Jordan fan back in the day? You know how many Genesis controlers I broke because of that faggot? Pimpin' fiesta colors for life.Quote:

The Spurs are my main rooting interest. There really isn't another NBA team I root for, unless they happen to be playing the Lakers or the Mavs. Or maybe the Jazz.
Born and raised in SA, but I didn't seriously get into them until the playoffs of 1998.
