First game you ever went to?

[baseline bum]

For me it was against the Bucks in the 85-86 season. My dad and I snuck down into courtside seats in the fourth quarter after everyone had left. I remember everyone hated Alfrederick Hughes, people in the stands were making fun of him like . I fell in love with the games of Alvin Robertson and Terry mings, who ended up getting traded for each other four years later. When the game was over I told Randy Brewer and Paul Mokeski congratulations as they walked by, and Mokeski gave the me the stupidest look I have ever seen. It was Alvin Robertson poster night, and the team setup a table for him to autograph posters at center court after the game. I can't believe they let us all walk on the floor back then, that would be a big no-go now.

Moved here as a kid from NYC and saw Artis Gilmore and the Ice Man play around '82. Don't remember against who, but remember wearing a big 'ol cowboy hat at the game.

One of the regular season games in 99 against the Lakers. Oh this is the one...http://www.basketball-reference.com/...904240SAS.html

My dad was contracting for this rich dude up in SA and he was gifted with two tix's for that game. I was nine years old and was barely getting into the NBA. We wrecked the Lakers that game. A lasting memory for me is the ginormous size of Shaq up close. We sat very close to the court and just seeing Shaq move the way he did was something I have never seen to this day.

My second game was in 04 against the Cavs. That was the game that Lebron posterized Timmy

[Axegrinder]

Harlem Globetrotters with Meadowlark Lemon and Curly Neal in early 70s..was hooked on bball ever since. Truly amazing show

[ElNono]

Much more recent, relatively speaking, for me... Feb 11, 2006 in what was known then as the Continental Airlines Arena (now Izod Center), against the Nets.

First AT&T Center game: Dec 28, 2008... against the Memphis Grizzlies. A thriller, double-overtime game.

My first game was back in the early 83 0r 84. It was exciting as the game went to triple overtime against the Atlanta Hawks and the Spurs won!! I remember seeing Pete Meyers in a Spurs uniform.

Denver vs Spurs in Denver
Spurs blew them out
David Robinson was awesome

[Kool Bob Love]

had to be the mid 90s vs the rockets. I can't rememeber the year or if we won. I just remember the seats and the curtain that divides the Alamodome.

[Ditty]

I believe my first game from what I remember I was six or seven, in 1997 season when we were terrible. I remember sitting in the upper deck with my sister, and father and no one went to that game. It was a day game I believe. I believe it was also the last time the Hawks won in SA .

1981 Pacers @ Sonics

I was a big Jack Sikma kid

Spurs vs. Kings in 1989

I went with a "David is the Real King" sign (). IIRC, it was tied late when mings airballed a jumper and then Robinson tipped it in and the Hemisfair Arena exploded. The replay showed that the tip in was a good two seconds after the shot clock expired but thankfully there was no replay. Tisdale finally missed and then the Spurs made one of two free throws (per par) and the game was over.

1992 Brendan Byrne Arena in Jersey. Loss to the Nets. Chris Morris 32 and 13, Kenny Anderson 31 and 17.

Damn. Bennett Salvatore reffed that game?

[ajh18]

My folks took me to see David Robinson's first game - against the Lakers - in 1989.

Spurs came back to win from 10 down, and David had a line of 23 pts, 17 rebs, 3 blocks. I was seven years old. Been a Spurs fan for 25 years now.

[BatManu20]

I believe it was in 1996. I was just a kid but I remember it vividly. The Bulls were in town and my dad took me to see Jordan play. Jordan was my idol as a kid (as he was pretty much every child's growing up in the 90's) so I was crazy excited about it. I was still a Spurs fan though and wore my "champion" David Robinson jersey to the game that I still own to this day. This was the season D-Rob missed due to his injury that got us the #1 pick in '97. IIRC the Bulls beat us pretty badly.

Then my second game (at least that I remember) was Timmy's rookie year against Jordan and the Bulls again. The Bulls beat us again IIRC.

I was also at MJ's last game ever in San Antonio as a Wizard in '03. I remember like at least half the crowd cheering every time Jordan scored. It was pretty cool, tbh. My pops and I were Jordan fanboys apparently



EDIT*: Holy I actually found footage of the game. I've never been able to find it until now. Someone uploaded it just a few weeks ago. Mj dropped 35 on us but we only lost by 9. Not bad considering Dave was out.

[BatManu20]

Found the game from '98 too! Damn. Brings back memories You almost forget how great MJ was, tbh. His midrange game was lethal.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Don't recall. Bought a $4 ticket and got a nice view of a pillar holding up roof and couldn't see floor through all the smoke.

[Johnsyounger]

Been too long...Saw Gilmore and Moore. Might have been late 70s. Met Gilmore in the airport as a kid. Super cool. Got his autograph.

[spurraider21]

So you're actually from Cali then, right? What made you become a Spurs fan tbh?

honest answer? i was a raiders fan as a kid bc of my dad, and the spurs jerseys reminded me of them. i started watching bball in duncans rookie year

[Biernutz]

Went to a game in 1987 at the old Hemisfair arena. We sat 5 rows from the top in the
upper deck. Smoking was still allowed and by the end of 4th quarter we were looking thru a
fog that would close down the airport. Our clothes reeked of cigarettes and the
second hand smoke was like full dragging 2 packs non-filter Camels.........

[KDKSpurs24]

I've been a fan for about 16 years(I'm in my early 20's) but I don't live near TX or close to any other NBA team and didn't really have the money for travel so I've always watched on TV. My brother has been a Heat fan for a long time and we live a few hours away from NO so we went to the MIA vs NOP game this year and that was my first ever NBA game.

My first ever SPURS game was.... unfortunately the last game of the regular season this year vs the Pels.. We all know how that went and how much that potentially killed our hopes of a repeat by knocking us back to #6. Did NOT enjoy that game..

[sandman]

Honestly can't remember the first one, but I know I only went to 2-3 games before the 84-85 season just because we couldn't afford it. That year I started working for the Spurs in the locker room and was there for the 84-85 and 85-86 seasons before I got too busy my senior year and had to quit. Been 30 years and still the greatest job I ever had. Moved away from SA three months after the '99 championship and actually haven't seen a live game since then. What was nice was last June when I was moving my son back to Texas from here in the UK to go to college, I had to go to SA because my mom was having surgery. Got to watch the Spurs win and drive around the city honking horns with everyone else. Battled everyone at Academy for gear because I knew I wasn't going to be able to get it over here!
