What are your ties to San Antonio? (i.e. NO BAND WAGONERS)

[bigfan]

Started going to the Spurs at Hemisfair after I got out of the military in 83. Best moments were the time I saw the Spurs beat the Lakers twice in one night. I also remember in like 85 I had a huge sign made up that was as long as the court that we hung from the upper railing that said "Lakers welcome to your chamber of horrors!" (Unfortunately, we lost that game). No matter where on the planet Ive lived Ive always been a "bigfan".

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).

[Blizzardwizard]

Never been to the USA. Fan from England because it's a team I saw win on tv a few years back. That's it. I still support the team as much as anyone else here does. Staying up till around 5AM watching us play the Kings/Pelicans/Suns etc.

Talons?

Nope. Those "Scary" guys at Randolph teach in those. I spent a lot of time getting out of their way, though. Lol

Yeah right. I dumped my lavatory over your crappy country last week. It improved the scenery, loser.

More intellect in my dork than you have in five lifetimes and I am no racist despite you being an inbred white jerk wad.

Oh and I practically was born and raised in the Las Palapas at 281/1604

I grew up in Alamo Cafe

I was born only ~9300km away, so my bond and love for the Spurs is just an obvious thing.

[Proxy]

I only go for the Spurs when they're good. I like to have fun.

4 pages of people repping why they are Spurs fans.. Looks like your the only one who caught feelings somewhere along the way.

I live about 2 1/2 hours away from SA in Del Rio. So of course, growing up as a little kid I was a Spurs fan from the beginning. Been going to games since 2000 when I was 12 years old. Now I attend at least 4-5 games a year. I go to SA alot to shop, go see family, and just get away from the small town life of DR.

[007nites]

I live 3,000KM North West of San Antonio. Can anyone take a guess?

Born at Ft. Riley, KS

Moved around a lot. Have lived in Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Kentucky and Georgia. Plus over 10 years in Europe split between Germany and Italy...as well as more than a little time in a ty Central Asian "Republic" called Afghanistan. I'm coming back stateside for the first time in a half decade pretty soon. Spending about 6 months in San Antonio and then moving to Tennessee (Ft. Campbell - but I REFUSE to live on the Kentucky side again).

Living in the Washington D.C. area (Virginia actually) as a little kid I started cheering for pro sports teams in 1991. The Washington Redskins were hot , as they were recent Super Bowl Champs. My Dallas-born and raised dad set me straight. Dallas Cowboys. Period (By the way, he lives in SA now, and has been a Spurs fan for many many years - no Mavs connections). Ironically, my next door neighbor from Buffalo, NY thought that the Cowboys were a poor choice considering the relative success of his team. Yea...that whole relationship actually played out really hilariously within a year or so.

First NBA game was in 1992 - Washington Bullets vs. Boston Celtics. It didn't hook me. I wouldn't watch the NBA again until 1998 when we moved back to San Antonio for the 3rd time. Watched the 1998 season with some interest, and then the Championship the year after. Game 1 of NBA finals was next door to my High School graduation in 2003. I've followed the team religiously since moving away.

I lived in Oklahoma City for several years and was a Oklahoma City Hornets season ticket holder for both the years they were in town. Wore my silver and black at all of the appropriate occasions, however. I've seen the Spurs in road games in OKC, Minneapolis, Miami and Atlanta. I used to also follow Treviso a little bit in Italy. Saw Gary Neal live in his pre-Spurs days.

Met Tim when he was a recruit at Wake. Just amazing to see a quiet, smart, almost geeky kid end up as the greatest PF ever. To me, a lot of credit should go to Dave Odom (Tim's coach at WFU), who is a great coach and a great guy, and treated all the players like family. I've always felt the family atmosphere Coach Odom created there was why Tim chose Wake. Although truthfully, Tim wasn't heavily recruited at all. I know the Wake staff kept the whole thing extremely hush-hush.
