David Robinson...
and now
Manu Ginobili
yo' hater... r u a spurs fan? how you became one?
Tim Duncan!
I can't believe how many of you folks are Spurs fans because of one player. That's cool, I guess.
I grew up in SA and was weened on Hemisfair Arena, Super Dave, Terry mings, and Willie.
I grew up in San Antonio.
David Robinson is probably the first famous face I ever got used to.
David Robinson brought Spurs fans not only from all the 50 US but from all over the world.. i am from Uruguay and i don;t think that by the time i saw him play.. he was conscious of the world wide impact he was getting
D-Rob was a rookie when I was 8 years old. To me he was the closest thing to a real-life superhero. My imagination was captivated by him which led to me becoming a Spurs fan por vida!!!
y'all have to agree... D-rob brought more spurs fan than any other player int eh franchise history
do you think TP brought more fans internationally than Manu??
Since Jordan retired the first time.
The reason why you became a Spurs FanKevin O'Keefe's literary skill.
i am kinda disappointed that Kori, Whott, hater among others haven't posted how they became spurs themselves...![]()
Moved to San Antonio just before David Robinson's rookie season. Magical rookie year, magical season turnaround and playoff run until Rod Strickland no-looked an outta bounzer in the waning moments...okay, I'll stop.
That was when I became a Spurs fan.
Ever since they came to town when I was a junior in HS. I used to buy tickets (cheap ones) over the phone from Joske's when I went to UT in Austin back in the late 70's. I would have them held for will call at the ticket booth in the old Hemisfair Arena. My room mate and I would drive down from Austin (in a 240Z and hauling ass) and park the car just behind where Denny's is now. An old man would be sitting there and charge us $1 to look after the car. We'd get to the arena and then go to our"seats". Yeah right - we would go the stairway behind one basket and stand there and watch the game - remember this is the time were they hadn't gotten on everyone about SRO tickets and it was cool with security. Damn good view from there and we could see alot of stuff that goes on under the boards. Pretty brutal at times. Anyway after awhile we get used to seeing certain seats that were not in use and eventually be sitting 5 - 10 rows up around the "30 yard line". Worked for me and I was on a tight budget in college so anything to stretch the $ was used. Used said tactics I even saw the triple OT game agianst the Bucks in '83 which was at that time the highest scoring in league history.
The good old days!
see guys... this is what i am talking about
DRob, Sean, Willie, TC, and RocketRod!
