Sweet! Gotta love anytime I can catch David back in a Spurs jersey!
Glad to see DRob and Duncan participating. With Duncan's compe iveness, we will have this contest won. Becky is a great compliment and will be the key.

They might consist of the worst Shooting Stars team ever.
Yeah they will be lucky to do this under a minute.
I'm glad I get to see Duncan Saturday night too, but I hate to see him lose anything.
Maybe they'll surprise us.
We do need another big, I'm sure he'd body up on Shaq just fine, we just might need to to drug him up a bit to kill the back pain.
the twin towers are back in the game!!!
Cool Hottie, uh i mean Becky Hammon, is a real good shooter, they got a shot to win it.
I think Drob and or Duncan will suprise on the half court shot and shut the haters up. These are not your typical bigmen.
But just in case we should have Kevin Willis on standby.
The bank will be open for Timmy from midcourt![]()
Duncan is all over this All Star Weekend.

NBA details on day of community service in New Orleans
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Before they take to the basketball court in New Orleans, Boston's Kevin Garnett and San Antonio's Tim Duncan will help unveil a new one.
The court refurbishment and dedication at the Mahalia Jackson School in Central City is part of the NBA "All-Star Day of Service" next Friday, February 15th.
The All-Star game at New Orleans Arena is February 17th.
Players will take part in ten projects throughout the city, ranging from the rebuilding of homes to the construction of playgrounds.
Recovery continues from 2005's Hurricane Katrina.
This season, every visiting team will take part in a community service activity.
man... i am SO ready to watch DRob and Timmee together again.. i have posted before... it would be cool to have DRob make some practises witht he guys just to calm down a little when they were about to hit the panic button... damn i miss him so much...
This is really cool...
I bet Robinson could still give us more than our current centers!
I dont care who won, Im just gonna be glad to see D-Rob have fun on the court again with Timmy.
After the all-star game, Five-O realizes how much he misses the game, signs a pro-rated vet minimum contract with the Spurs for the remainder of the season, spurs go 16-0 through the playoffs on their way to another le and their first back to back. in my dreams
Hi...I mostly lurk around here but let me say...you guys are HILARIOUS!!! Always a pleasure to visit and I always learn a lot from y'all!
I was SHOCKED and thrilled to see Becky added to this. She's in Russia right now playing for CSKA. I wonder what the Spurs had to do to pull this off because CSKA has a game that same weekend and that Russian coach is pretty tough no nonsense kind of guy.
Let's just hope they get her in with enough time to recover from the flight because she's the only chance we have...LOL!
why is Becky's off-season being spent playing for CKSA?
is she hard up for $$?
This is just the beginning....
When the playoff roster is announced...
#50 comes down from the rafters.![]()
Finally have a reason to watch this thing. Perhaps DRob is coming out of retirement and this is the first step!
Nah.
WNBA players only make about 40,00 - 94,000 per year. She is a max contract player at 94,00 and can't make more then that. This past season with bonuses and stuff she made a little over 100,000.
The new CBA will give her a raise to 97,000 but that won't happen until next season when she's a UFA. If we have to core her the raise is automatic...either way for her it's automatic...LOL!
So what happens is the top WNBA players head off to Europe to play in the WNBA off season. She signed a two year deal with CSKA...the top Russian team. She's probaly making double what she makes here and doesn't have to carry the load. She's a natural SG so she's splitting time at the 1 & 2 averaging about 18-24 minutes a game. Her team is undeated and kicking ass all over both the Russian and Euro leauge. It also keep the players in top condition then add in that she's a gym rat and all she wants to do is play ball and that's why she's in Russsia. It's been good for her game but that means she will miss all of camp and most if not all of the preseaosn while CSKA is in the playoffs. It's been good for her game...she looks to be in even better shape then she was last season.
These pics are from her last Euro league game last week.
SASS also has Vikie Johnson, Sophia Young and Chantelle Anderson playing for the same team in Turkey. So And VJ will also miss preseason and Chantelle jsut got taken by the new Atlanta team in the expansion draft.
Thanks for the backgrounder and salary situation.
I'm so sorry Becky and WNBA friends can't get by with $100K/year and have to moonlight in Europe.
I think it has less to do with getting by on 100k per year (not many make that much) and more to do with when they retire in their mid 30's and making sure they have enough money to sustain them until they find work again.
It will be great to see David in a Spurs uniform again. Twin Towers reunited.![]()
cant wait to see the hi-low run to perfection again.
wow![]()
TP made a record the last time. That shot he made from mid-court in just 1 try(?), was almost impossible but so amazing.
I wonder how many shots does Becky has to take to make it from mid-court?
