I have been a die hard Spurs fan since 1988 and have thoroughly enjoyed rooting for them every year since then. But the time I most enjoyed watching the Spurs was the Twin Towers Era, especially before David Robinson's back gave out. I liked watching them together on offense, especially with their high-low game, but the I really enjoyed seeing them together on defense. There was nothing like knowing that if an opponent managed to get by one of them, the other one would be at the basket waiting. A while back, one poster likened it to having 2 Dwight Howards on our defense. I used to love how fans of other teams would constantly tell me how unfair it was having both of them on our team.
What was your favorite time to root for the Spurs?
2013-2014 season. I had just moved from Illinois to San Antonio, had been a lifelong spurs fan. Was amazing to get to watch the Spurs live so often and then get to bring it all home in the finals. Was down on the river walk for game 5. Really an amazing experience
Every year since 1977-78 when I first discovered the sport.
Yes, that was an amazing time to be a Spurs fan.
2014!
Oh the sweet revenge on, not only the Heat but all of the media haters who for some strange reason didnt want them to win.
Hey! I was there too, for the start of the game. For the first half I had to go to my sisters dance recital which is at the convention center on the riverwalk.
I was so mad because they kept announcing the scores in between performances. I had it recording and was like "Dammit, shut up!" That was an awesome season
I really liked the 2005-2007 Spurs. The flexibility of the team, the ability to play run-and-gun, or grind-it-down, was simply phenomenal. Duncan, Manu and Parker were all great, coupled by the defensive nastiness of Bruce Bowen, the tenacity of Nazr Mohammed, the explosiveness of Elson, the careful craftiness of Brent Barry, the old man intelligentsia in Fabricio Oberto, and the deadly sharpshooting of Michael Finley... Although we didn't win as many games as we have had in years after that (probably because the rest of the league was skilled at that time), it was a great combination of youth, veteran leadership, and skill (not athleticism though... lol).
Good post!!
2014, man what a time to be a spurfan
'05-'07 since the big 3 were all still in their primes during that time period.
The redemption was amazing but I'm with you. Drob made me a Spurs fan and after waiting what seemed like my whole life to see them finally win was incredible. That 4th quarter D was like a boa constrictor not sure we've ever seen anything like it. You just knew if the game was close come the 4th we would win.
Yeah, I loved our defense. In fact, the '99 team set an NBA record for opponent field goal percentage (.4016).
From June 25, 1997 - present
2005 ish
Medium Three era.
05'-07' was good as the big three were dominant as with an animal in Bowen but I enjoyed watching the Spurs dismantle the Heat after blowing it in 13'.. So much good talking to bandwagon Heat fans, good times.
2007. Spurs at the closest thing to peaking. Lebron has only lost 2 playoff series in less than 6 games in his career. 2014 in 5 and 2007 in 4.
Ive been watching since 1990...2003 and 2014 are the years ill remember most.
Oh man, this sounds like the dream.
Jealous as tbh
I was on cloud 9 in 2014 but I live in the present. The time is now.
Thanks m8!
I would say 2003-07 Spurs but that is a pretty good assessment of the team there and those years were great. They should have three peated during those years man. Manu, Tim and Parker were at their peak too as you said.
Thanks man.
I think the 90's through the 2000's. You had to live through the constant what if's with David's squads, and the frustration. Then you got the rings. Made the 80s 90s worthwhile.
It would suck to have just gotten on board in the 2000s - knowing and feeling the history is what it means to be a fan
