Finley great?
UMMM NO
Finley will someday be credited with the demise of a once great franchise...
finley was chosen by pop over bruce bowen--that in itself makes finley belong on this list

Pops 'human highlight reel' Mensah-Bonsu
Dennis Rodman
Vinny Del Negro
Finley contributed quite a bit. He just got old, hate is unfounded for Finley as an overall Spur.
The other two is arguable =p
haha I totally forgot about Gooden playing here
Vinny Del Negro. If the Spurs had a better starting SG in the mid 90's they could have won their 1st championship. He always choked so hard in the playoffs.
Matt Bonner
08-10 Michael Finley
Damon Stoudamire
Nick Van Exel
Keith Bogans
09-10 Roger Mason Jr.
Jackie Butler
More recently, Roger Mason and Keith Bogans... I would add Bonner but now he has 4 more seasons to redeem himself...
You my friend are a ing idiot. He was a pivotal piece in our championship run in 07. that in itself should exclude him from the list.
finley and bowen were both done. neither of them should have been retained and pop realized that soon enough (hints why finley ended the season in boston)
Finley was ok until he turned 64 years old and we handed him a 2 year extension... But that wasn't Michael's fault either

Finley may have hit a few shots but his defense was atrocious and the fact that Pop overplayed him made matters worse.
Finley was also the beginning of the spurs going away from a defense first philosophy and also caused pop to have double standards as far as coming down hard on players blowing defensive assignments.
If someone blew an assigment Pop would pull them or give them an earful--except for finley.
I truly believe that the championship the spurs won in 2007---was in spite of finley---not because of finley.
You are the idiot here if you could not recognize this.
corey alexander, chris whitney, sleepy floyd, jason "I got alotta" Hart, and for some reason I cant stand the name David Greenwood...
damn...I liked rod strickland, no .
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say...... Matt Bonner
All yall banging on bonner need to shut the up, dude was solid on three's and even drove the lane on occasion
source/citation?
Bonner, Finley, Bogans

The whole post is full of fail. Just blame everything on Finleyduncans rise in age or the lack of a true big man next to him doesn't have anything to do with the drop off in defense the last few years. It's all Finley, and if continues to get worse this season well it's finleys fault also since he signed here. Re ed. Finley was a great spur. Anyone who says he wasn't is an idiot. My opinion of course
The thread/topic is;
players you WISH had never worn a spurs jersey...
and in the end it is all based on opinions...
you have yours and I have mine---so be it
wgaf anyway--finley was a spur--unfortunately IMO --but he was
and that won't change so continue riding his nutz and I will continue to hate on him...
I'm a big Finley hater myself but I cant deny that he did something in his time here.
He was key in Game 5 against Denver in 2007.
He hit the game tying shot against Phoenix in Game 1 in 08.
He pretty much made this team get the 3rd seed last year by tying the game vs New Orleans.
