    Born in Texas but transplanted to the northeast shortly thereafter. Had no team in elementary school in 1994, and couldn't stand all my friends who were Knicks fans. A family friend bought me a Dennis Rodman t-shirt (no idea why) and then I started playing as the Worm and the Admiral on NBA Jam TE. There was no looking back. And how sweet it was to beat the Knicks in my first year of high school.

    Highland Hills Elem / Rogers Middle / Highlands High / Trinity ... before many of you were born. Distinctly remember the '79 debacle against the Washington BULLETS in the EC Final which was the closest the Spurs got to a championship before the glory years.

    Swen Nater FTW tbh.

    Absolutely none whatsoever being from Australia, which hasn't stopped me from being a fan since about '92 when I was 11 and just discovering the NBA. If at my age then I was going to be a bandwagoner, it sure as would've been as a Bulls fan.

    Oh wait, I just thought of one - I have a great great aunt who was/is a nun in San Antonio, who I have never met.

    Born and raised in San Antonio. Been a fan since Day 1, 1973, when they came to S.A. as a fledgling ABA team (Dallas Chapperals). Over the next couple of years, I used to ride the bus to the games as a kid. That was my first live pro basketball experience. I had a Spurs banner and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to meet players like George Gervin, James Silas, Rich Jones, Bird Averitt, Swen Nater & Mark Olberding - all of which signed my banner. For me, that's when my Spurs fandom was born and despite moving away, as an adult years later in the late '80's, it just never died. And I never expected it to either. This marriage is forever.

    Born in Cuba in 1961, and eventually made it to SA in 1970. Spurs fan since they came to be. Remember games at the Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum, watching the Iceman and his finger roll, Larry Kenon and his double pump dunks, and George Karl shooting bricks and almost breaking the backboard. Those were the days.

    Moved to San Antonio from Austin for about 3 years when I was a kid. My Dad was a huge Spurs fan and took me to my first game at Hemisphere Arena a year before the Spurs last season there. I've been die hard hooked ever since.

    Born and raised in San Antonio...dad took me to my first game in 77 or 78..cant remember, I'll have to see if he can remember....Hemisfair Arena and the rocking bleachers with obstructed views, those were good times...the Blues Bros was another great era in Spurs history I can recall.

    Dang... some of you guys go way back to the 70s and 80s...

    Duncan-parker-ginobili-pop is ALL i know really.. honestly, that's ALL I know. it's gonna be really weird and sad when they're all gone in a few years. a lot of great memories for sure. I wonder what it must be like for fans of the 70s and 80s nowadays where today's Spurs team literally has NO TIES to any of the players of the past.

    I guess if its any consolation, this Spurs won't be FULLY generation-ally removed (aka no players are connected to Duncan, Parker, Ginobili), i.e. kwahi and green (would have played with the big_3, so you could always associate them with the big 3), and then when kwahi and green retire, the new young bloods will have ties to kwahi and green (who we assiocate with the big three)

    Lived in Orlando and became a Magic fan in their inaugural season, 89-90. This was DRob's rookie year and I watched them play the Spurs. Instantly loved his personality and his game. Over that season and the next I watched more and more Spurs games since they were on national TV a lot then. In 1991 I bought Robinson Force shoes. Then a couple years later I came to Austin to visit my older sister and she took me to a game at Hemisfair. From that point on I went from being solely a Robinson fan to a full on Spurs fan. After college in 1998 I moved to Austin and have followed them religiously since.

    I'm pretty much a bandwagoner since I hopped onto the Spurs bandwagon during the 2005 season, though I somewhat followed them after their 99 run. I've stuck with them till this day though and will continue to for a while.

    I've never been to San Antonio.

    My High School Principal was friends with Pop and had ties to Maine. He gave us the opportunity to go to a camp the Spurs were at in Colorado and also brought Sean ****** to Maine. I've been a Huge D-Rob fan since he came into the League as a humble, hard working, Christian athlete. Once I got to know that team I was a fan for life.

    I live in VA, been a Spurs fan since I saw D ROB and Elliott there and never looked back. I have been a fan since around 93 when Utah used to out us in the playoffs regularly and the year or so after when Hakeem beat up our team in the WCF in 95, broke my heart as a young fan.
    i stuck around when we got slapped in the face by the SUNS.... THE SUNS... ARE U KIDDING ME, ousted by memphis, steamrolled by okc, and the of course the miami series, which i will never get over 100%. HOW CAN U GET OVER up by 5 with 28 seconds left... im jumping up and down screaming and yelling
    Yeah thats recent stuff, alot of bad losses and heartbreaks before that as well When did you become a fan of the Spurs?

    Oh yeah, D ROB is from out in VA too (Osbourne Park high school)! He is not from SA so I can be a fan as well He is from my hometown of Woodbridge.

    After his father retired from the Navy, the family settled in Woodbridge, Virginia, where Robinson excelled in school and in most sports, except basketball. He was 5 feet, 9 inches tall in junior high school so he tried his hand at basketball, but soon quit. Robinson attended Osbourn Park High School in Manassas, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C., where Robinson's father was working as an engineer after retiring from the Navy.

    That is why I am a fan and here today.
