Tony Parker every day of the week, in High school when I played basketball(2003-2006) I always wanted to play just like TP. I love that guy man, he's a great player and he is always very humble too.

This is not meant to be a poll about who you think the "best" Spur is in terms of talent, what they brought to the team, etc. Those polls have all been done.
Who is your favorite Spur, in terms of personality, character, quirks, attractiveness, etc? Why?
My list is obviously biased toward *MY* favorite Spurs, but feel free to select other and tell me who I forgot...
Oh, and it's not limited to who is currently a Spur, obviously.

Duncan. People say he's boring, but I love watching execution at it's finest
Is there any doubt what my answer is?
I'm not sure where to even begin. Duncan's game is what caught me first, how solid he is on both ends of the court. His personality fits his game, low-key, but brilliant. He's got a quick wit, the people that call him boring just haven't paid attention. I really like how quietly dominant he is. No chest thumping, no bravado. He just wins, and he credits his teammates and Pop before himself. He'll also be the first to take any blame, he doesn't point fingers.
Like most elite NBA players, Duncan gives back. I admire how he's made his giving personal. His Foundation provides money for medical assistance to people with breast and prostrate cancer, the cancers he lost his parents to. He does work for children that have lost their parents at young ages, as he lost his mom. He has a program for kids that demonstrate 'character' in school. His Foundation works in places that are important to him, San Antonio, St. Croix, and North Carolina. He also went back to being a citizen of St. Croix, so the income tax he pays helps where he grew up.
I respect that Duncan has never sold out. Though there's a lot of money to be made with endorsements, he's picky about what he'll do. He left Nike for adidas after adidas agreed to make a sizable donation to his Foundation. And adidas donates equipment and clothing for his basketball program in St. Croix. He does local stuff, like the HEB commercials, supporting the local audience.
I love how Duncan has kept true to himself. He's a video game junkie, a Dungeons and Dragon fan, and basically has no problem with being labeled a nerd.
There's no dirt on Duncan. What you see is what you get. He kept a promise to his parents to finish college, came out with an honors degree. He married his college sweetheart. He's devoted to his wife and children, and fiercly protects their privacy, their right to live out of the spotlight his career brings.
There are plenty of NBA players that are great role models, Duncan isn't the only one. But something about the way he puts it all together puts him way above the rest for me.
Okay, that got long.Believe it or not, I edited it. Give me any opportunity to talk about Duncan and I could easily go on all day. I didn't cover all your questions, but I'll stop here.
I may be the only one, but my favorite Spur has always been Willie Anderson. Yes, I know, weird.
wtf??? where's the ninja????
i vote for tony parker
When Manu is MANU, it's the equivalent of watching the last 2 minutes of a Rocky fight. When he gets popped in the face, the swelling starts, then he goes off for 10 straight points... That's entertainment at its finest.
Obviously Duncan is a god. Manu is the angel of death.
Tim Duncan
Poor George Gervin and Sean Elliott aren't on the poll, but Malik and Steve Kerr are
Bruce Bowen.
David Robinson is who I voted for.
Currently would be Tony Parker. Love Manu to death though, and same with Timmy, but he is a little too dull.
Spurs fans are very lucky to have so many players to look up to, god I love this team.
Manuuuuuuuuuu
Manu, duh. Good thing I didn't read duncan228s post, though. He might've swayed me.
And I'll be the first to say that I think you could've kept going. You should make a thread about the "unknown facts of The Big Fundamental". I'd bump that .
Bruce Bowen
Mario Elie
I can be pretty persuasive when it comes to Duncan.Manu, duh. Good thing I didn't read duncan228s post, though. He might've swayed me.
You know who to ask if you ever have questions about him.And I'll be the first to say that I think you could've kept going. You should make a thread about the "unknown facts of The Big Fundamental". I'd bump that .
Nazr Mohammad!!!!!!!...nah....Timmy for me...
why is malik even on the list?
I voted duncan
Guess who
Tim, of course. A leader.
Bowen should replace Kerr and George Gervin should replace Barry.
i picked Duncan, but honestly ive grown to love all these guys on the poll except Steve Kerr. no doubt my favorite Spurs are Duncan, DRob, Iceman, Ginobili, Parker, Bowen, and Horry.
David Robinson.
Spurs wouldn't be anything without him. Duncan wouldn't be 3 quarters the player he is. Four banners would have never been hung.
Everything the Spurs have is because of D-Rob. He is the greatest Spur ever (statistically) and in my opinion personally as a human being. Duncan is a close second.
I think there should have been separate polls. Favorite current Spur, favorite all time Spur.
Out of curiosity and not compe ion I want to see the winning percentage of Duncan compared to Robinson. Counting the years they were together for both of them I suppose. I am just curious to see if TD elevated the franchise. (and don't bring up les, wouldn't be any without robinson regardless, and also not counting post season)
@ Manu... goes to show how many people he brought to the bandwagon
no doubt I vote for Manu
