    How about remembering when Moses Malone stepped on the half court line when the Spurs were playing the Rockets in the best of 3 playoffs? Or know who Capt late is? Mike Mitc ?

    What about the Bruise brothers?
    How about Goo?

    the upper deck, next to a concrete pillar......
    So far in the back, I could not see the jumbo tron because my seats were too
    far under the upper deck.
    Tickets at the dome....
    Tickets at the ATT....

    I don't want to say too much, but I work for a healthcare/insurance provider that is based in the region of San Antonio (i.e. the enrollees are all San Antonian residents).

    Also, my younger brother (when he was in elementary school on a school field trip) met the Spurs players (Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Richard Jefferson, and I think Roger Mason Jr?? was he on that team? I miss RGJ so much... only dude that had any balls, bailed us out late so many times). The Spurs players were visiting a museum (same place my bothers school was visiting).
    My ties? 2011

    And you need to have ties to San Antonio to be a spurs fan? I don't even live in the US, does that make me a band wagoner? This thread confuses me

    Jefferson high school class of '12
    Utsa 2012 - present

    became a spurs fan 1999. I was only a kid back then, i didin't realize the significance at the time. but looking back, it was a big deal watching the spurs on the riverwalk and i was apart of it. That's when i first truly realized the significance of the spurs
    I graduated from Jefferson too, in 08. My younger brother graduated in '12, maybe you knew him, his name is Timmy/Tim Martinez.

    I became a fan in 2009, I didn't even like basketball, or sports at all for that matter.
    But my older brother took me to a game, against the Mavericks, and I was hooked.

    No real ties. German TV just telecasted a lot of Spurs games while Rodman was on the team (probably because they could talk a lot about him and his hair). Never liked Rodman but loved David, Sean and others immediately. Also liked the Taco Cabana colors (as stupid as it sounds now) at the time.

    So it was kind of random, but now its about 20years and I grew into a die hard pretty fast.
    I probably played with no other team in NBA Live the whole '90s. I still remember standing on the streetball court after learning that David Robinson is out...then joking to a friend that we will get this Tim Duncan guy and win a Ship ^^ (also remember seeing the draft lottery results right before going to school). Feeling like the only Spurs fan in the whole country makes you soo proud and drives you further and further. Loved watching game 7 in '05 in a sports bar with about 30 other people...none rooting for the Spurs but me...then the Manu dunk Boom!!! Love standing up for them if someone calles them boring. Loved sporting my Robinson jersey and Spurs hat in the 90s and love wearing a Spurs Manu shirt (from the At&T center) or #20 long sleeve at every warmup to make a statement. Love making my girlfriend a Spurs fan over the last 2 years. Just love them!

    You may say: "Yeah, but they never really sucked (hence for 96/97) thus making it pretty easy to pick them in the Robinson era and riding it out until now.". But for a kid it would have been pretty easy to jump to a team like the Bulls or Rockets without thinking twice (a lot of friends just did that...and probably became Lakers and Heat fans later)...Spurs felt like home from the beginning and I'll always stay a die hard even if they never recover after the Duncan-era.

    Thank you Dennis!
    Thank you Dennis' hair!

    Born in Chicago but raised in San Antonio. Been a fan since 1986-87. Was a fan of Bulls and Spurs but always preferred Spurs. Stopped liking Bulls and Jordan after his HOF speech.

    Moved to San Antonio summer of '87, and I'd never lived in an NBA city before. I was born in Dallas pre-Mavs, and spent most of my time growing up in Minneapolis, leaving pre-Timberwolves.

    I've since moved various places, but once I adopt a team it doesn't change. (Well, except that I've put my Cowboys fandom on hold until Jerry retires as the GM.)

    I've never lived in San Antonio. but have an uncle who lives in this area who got me hooked on the Spurs during the Iceman, Billy Paultz and Larry Kenon era.

    Those were fun Spurs teams to watch before Robinson and the championship teams.

    I'll never forget how disappointed I was when the 1978 team lost to the Bullets in the eastern conference semifinals.

    I'll also add that league pass is a must for me now that I get to see every Spurs game in addition to the national TV appearances.

    Austinite who goes down to San Antonio a few times a year. I've been a fan since the '99 run. But I was only nine at the time, and it was more that I discovered the NBA through the Spurs broadcasts than it was me making a choice to front-run.
