Last week, the Spurs twitter account posted a picture of the Stockton/Malone statues outside the arena in Utah and it got me thinking what has taken the Spurs so long to get a Robinson statue erected at the AT&T Center? They could compliment it with a Duncan one in a few years. The Twin Towers are deserving of this, don't you think? Stockton and Malone never won ANYTHING but each other's company, lol.
I doubt Robinson or Duncan would enjoy having statues erected in their honor.
It also seems very UnSpur like?
Banners>Statues
Although they would appreciate the gesture it just doesn't seem appropriate for the Admiral, the Big Fundamental, and the city of San Antonio.
I agree with above but IF someone got a statue....Tim Duncan...and he deserves it!
not with the side of town the ATT center is on

However, if you give the Twin Towers a statue, you almost have to give one to Gervin. Spurs wouldn't be around for Dave or Tim if not for the Iceman.
How about this for a statue:Quote:

They can't do statues, because we would need a lot of them..
The Spurs should erect a big stonecutter's rock in front of the AT&T center.
If you started putting up statues you'd need a Popovich statue.
This is one team that would need too many statues.
Gervin
Robinson
Elliott (?)
Duncan
Parker
Manu
Bowen (?)
Kinda lame for the Jazz to have statues without having any championships IMHO. Oh well...
I like it. :tuQuote:

Oh, and Nacho Estrada.
This would be the most appropriate. It would be a symbol of the culture and the mentality of all the most significant players. I think it would absolutely be the most fitting. I'll call Pete and see what he thinks.Quote:

when Pop retires, they will put a big rock outse ATT and Pop will come in everyday and pound the rock until it looks like TD
Tim Duncan didn't need much molding.Quote:

Not The Rock... but you know what I mean.
Great idea!Quote:

not much of a statue guy but Hall of Fame bust replicas displayed like the championship trophies are right now would look nice
Duncan, Five-Oh, and Gervin, imo
2005 Manu =)
If they do a stand alone statue of Robinson I think it would be classy to make it of him standing the way he would during the National Anthem: almost at military attention. Would echo the military tradition in SA as well as the consistency with which David played for so many years.
But it think Gervin in action mid-finger roll would be pretty sweet. Do that on one side of the entry plaza and a statue of the image of David and Tim together holding the 2003 hardware on the other side and call it a day.
I think this is actually a good idea.Quote:

Winner.Quote:

Also, because unlike the Jazz we have four mini statues inside the arena.
This, however, is a fantastic idea. Instead of a statue glorifying one or two players, setting up a monument to the mindset that led this team to greateness over such an extended period of time would be amazing.Quote:
