What player was a "sleestak" on the show " Land of the lost" before he played in the NBA?

[SPARKY]

University of Texas at Austin attendee and supporter (and former Spurs owner) Red McCombs famously had a public spat with Rod Strickland which culminated in the departure of Mr. Strickland from San Antonio and to the Portland Trailblazers. In Mr. Strickland's first game in San Antonio after leaving the Spurs Red sat with his wife Charlene courtside and perhaps in a low point among low points in Spurs history held up a posterboard with a message scrawled with a black marker on the board.

What was that message?

[timvp]

Wasn't it



"Rod Who?"

[SPARKY]

SPARKY's memory is currently affected by time and COLD BEER so he thinks that you could be correct as either Mr. McCombs had multiple signs or he had multiple messages on one sign.

SPARKY recalls "Rod, I'm Sorry" or "I'm Sorry, Rod"...

You're probably right. I'm thinking of the game when Strickland was sidelined after breaking his wrist and someone held up that sign over the Spurs bench, IIRC.

[SPARKY]

Should We Double Hakeem? - Bob Hill

SPARKY almost choked because of this. Thankfully we Spur fans no longer enjoy his high powered offenses, exceptional clothiers, and the high powered offenses of Spur opponents.

[whottt]

What is the oldest Spurs draft pick still playing in the NBA(year drafted)?

Edit: and yes Laimbeer was the one

Hopefully there aren't any posterboards and black markers in the corporate offices of HOLT CAT, though the ownership philosophy seems somewhat consistent.

[SPARKY]

Tony Massenburg 1990.

[whottt]

I'm pretty sure Sparky is right, the oldest one I could find, and a second round pick at that!

[SPARKY]

The Spurs have drafted a player who attended the University of Michigan. Without googling what is his name?

[timvp]

Who was the other player the Spurs drafted in the second round in the same draft they got Massenburg?

[whottt]

Billy Curley

[whottt]

Sean Higgins is the answer to TImVP's question

If SPARKY is correct, the answer to his question is the answer to timvp's question.

Sam Mack.

[whottt]

True or false: Baseline Bum was in attendance at Drob's first game as a Spur

[SPARKY]

Without googling, who did the Spurs draft in the 1st round of that draft (1990)?

[whottt]

The Lobster...we asked all the 1990 draft pick questions in chat the other night

[timvp]

Bill Curley played at Boston College. What former Spur was his teammate there?
