All 50 years. Since 1973.
Born in ‘79 and the first season I can remember was the 88-89 season before DRob’s rookie year.
I remember games used to be on PPV. You could catch like the first 6 minutes of the 1st quarter before they scrambled it and you’d just have to listen to the rest of the TV feed or switch to radio. They used to announce playoff scores between innings at little league. Those were the days.
Started in 94-95 - Season 29
40ish maybe.
depends on definition of seasons. Pretty much every game though for last 28+
And oh yeah, IIRC, games were $14.95 EACH on PPV. Say what you will about Bally, but man at least that’s a lot better than it used to be!!!
22! I know it hasn’t been THAT long, but damn. When I started rooting for the team, it was just TP’s rookie season. And now he’s already in the HoF.
34th year coming up. Robinson was a rookie
ing Paragon cable.
Spring of 91 for me.
Been going to spurs games due to my grandfather all my life, but I only started really following the team in 2018. I'm a young buck.
Just for the record I watched the 2013 Ray Allen shot live
The Spurs have 47 seasons in the NBA, and I can almost claim to have been a fan for all of them. But I was 6 years old when the Spurs joined the NBA, and I don't think I really started paying attention until a year or two later. My first Spurs memory is the last day of the season scoring battle between Thompson and Gervin. (I had to look up the numbers, but Thompson scored 73 earlier in the day to take the lead, and then Gervin scored 63 to take the crown.) I had flashbacks 16 years later when Robinson scored 71 to beat Shaq for the scoring le.
There were a lot of entertaining but ultimately frustrating years in the 90's, but there have been very few years when I didn't harbor at least a little bit of hope that the Spurs could contend (maybe the mid-to-late 80's and the last few seasons). So based solely on the duration of entertainment provided, the Spurs have easily been my most rewarding team to follow.
2001 playoffs. I saw Kobe kick the Spurs ass and I was just star struck. Like man nobody on the team can stop the dude. Jim was on the back burner that year and in the 4th I forgot he was even playing. That’s when I knew that the bag was staying in SA
but in all seriousness, 1993 was my first year following basketball and I saw Barkley hit the shot in Robinson’s eye. Painful way to lose. But I liked Sir Charles and KJ and was sad when they lost to Michael ing Jordan. I hated MJ so the Suns loss was more painful to me than the Spurs. I wasn’t really a Spurs fan fan until the year Robinson got knocked out by Malone. 1997? That’s when my fandom for the team took off.
All of them.
24 years
33 years. Damn, I feel old.
I always think that the x factor on any Spurs’ championships were their point-of-attack defensive catalyst, Ninja Sean Elliott in 1999, Bruce Bowen in 2003, 05 and 07, and Danny Green/Kawhi Leonard in 2014. After that 1999 championship, Sean had his kidney transplant and was never the same again. Much respect to Kobe, but he got lucky Sean was not there. But once Spurs got Bowen, Lakers couldn’t win again until Bruce slowed down in 2008, and with much help by Gasol.
1992, the season after the dream team, David Robinson was my favorite player and I became a Spurs fan for life. Never set foot in San Antonio but I followed them closely and never left them.
About 45 years. In the last 20 years I think I’ve only missed one game on tv or in person.
You better have a good reason for that one game. Your twins were born or something bigger.
Surprising amount of ‘all of them’ answers in here! I come in at 34 years, 89-90. Rod Strickland, Willie Anderson, Sean, Terry mings, and D Rob. One of my favorite Spurs teams! What could’ve been!
Started following them during the mings, Robinson, Del Negro, Anderson.. era. So that should be the beginning of 90'. Let's say 33 years.
At this time it wasn't easy to follow the results, we only had one weekly newspaper which would give us the score. And from time to time we had a game broadcasted on the French channel Canal Plus.

Since 93 when I was 8yrs old so 30 years.
Back in those days in Toronto we only got a Sunday NBA game on NBA on NBC and only after NFL season was over! Safe to say it wasn’t easy following the Spurs!
Fan since the Artis Gilmore trade... So since 1982 (41 years, more or less)...
Went to first game against the Bullets in the playoffs in 79. 44 years,
