Dennis Rodman
... it was a dark time.
John Paxson
Kevin Duckworth
Dominique Wilkins
Tony Massenburg (in 1990)
Maurice Cheeks
Austin Croshere
Vinnie "the Microwave" Johnson
Mike Dunleavy
Mike D'Antoni
John Lucas
Charlie Ward
Jay Vincent
Glenn Robinson (ugh.)
Charles Smith (the forward, not the guard)
Dion Glover apparently played for the Spurs and I never knew it.
Beno Udrih
Hedo Turkoglu
Mo Cheeks
V. Maxwell
Rod Strickland
Dwayne Schintzius and Antoine 'Big Dog' Carr
Chris Whitney. (actually, I do remember him playing for the Spurs; I also remember a time when some here argued that Tony Parker would never be as good as Chris Whitney.)
Mike D'Antoni
George Karl
Am I forgetting any other crybabies?
Walter Berry at the age of 23 and 24 averaged 17.5 ppg and 5.4 rpg for the Spurs over two seasons. In the playoffs at the age of 23 he averages 22 ppg and 7 rpg.
Alvin Robertson does not get much due for his game, either. Michael Jordan said he was one of the top 5 best defensive guards he ever played against.
dwayne was the one with the big mullet. he didn't look anything like a basketball player, he looked like he should've been with reo speedwagon
Louie Dampier had been a 20 point per game guy in the ABA, and was the ABA's all-time 3-point leader. He made 199 3-pointers one season.
Ron Brewer averaged almost 18 ppg for the Spurs one season, and may hold the all-time record for most consecutive mid-season trades - 6 seasons in a row.
Mike Mitc averaged 20+ points and 6 boards in his first 4-5 seasons with the Spurs.
Don't forget D'antoni's assistant, and coach of the Memphis Grizzlies, Mark Iavaroni.
Kevin Duckworth played part of a season here. He had some really good years in Portland.
The incredibly overrated Ira Newble played his first season here.
Sleepy Floyd played one season (more than he should have) here.
Dale Davis spent a couple of seasons here. He was still pretty damned good, but past his prime.
We had our own version of Sean Bradley one season - the 7'5" Chuck Nevitt.
Will Perdue. Pop once asked Will Perdue if he could pass a basketball. Perdue said, "Coach, if I can swallow it, I can pass it."
Chucky Brown played 13 lackluster years in the league. For some reason, the Spurs paid him to play one of them here. Ditto Mark Bryant.
Jaren Jackson had one good season, scored a big contract, and retired while still on the roster.
Did anyone mention that Luis Scola almost played here?
Or singing "Achy Breaky Heart"
Sleepy Floyd, what a smooth nickname.
Would love to see that game where he scored 29 in the first quarter, 39 in the half, ending it with 12 consecutive buckets in the 4th for a 51 point total.
