All-Time Spurs Team?

[whottt]

Rodman isn't a choice, he was allocated to the Bulls 6 team.

I'd about this if I were you...

There is absolutely no reason to make Robertson a Buck instead of a Spur. All of his best seasons and career highlights were with the Spurs.



Just like Rodman really has no business being a Bull...he only played there for 3 years.

pg Moore - Silas - Parker (Dawkins)
sg Gervin - Ginobili - Robertson
sf Mitc - Elliott - Bowen -
pf Kenon - Rodman - mings (Banks)
c Duncan - Gilmore - Robinson -


My favourite starting five (in their prime) :

Moore - Robertson - Duncan - Robinson - Gilmore

6th Ginobili
7th Rodman
8th Mitc
9th Parker (Dawkins)
10th Elliott
11th Bowen
12th Gervin (Silas)

13th Silas (Gervin)
14th mings
15th Kenon


My preference goes to players I've seen on the court (I've never seen Silas and Kenon play).
Young Duncan was able (he showed that in one all star game) to play also small forward; Robinson always run like and more than the best power forwards.
Both these players also had a good outside shoot.
I've not seen Artis (my favourite spurs player of all times...) in his prime (ABA) but just in the '80 (Bulls/Spurs)...However, also at that time, he was a real beast, maybe the strongest athlete we ever had, a defensive force and a reliable option on offense (not the last years, when he slowed down).
In the back court, my privilege, with that strong front court, goes to the best assist man/outside shooter I remember in a spurs uniform and to one of the strongest athletes ever in nba ... both, also, very good defenders.

Reserves have a very good chance to impact the game changing the pace (Parker/Dawkins ), attacking the basket (Gino,Elliott) and defending (Rodman, Bowen) or giving baskets when needed (Gervin -I ranked him 12th just because of his defense - Mitc ).
Our pg in case of a miss match wit a strong one will be, like has already been, Gino

Alvin Robertson

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...roberal01.html


4 Time All Star
7 or 8 times All NBA Defense
3 Time Leader in Steals and Steals per game.

Holds the NBA record for steals per game and total steals in a season.

Second player and only guard in NBA history to record a Quadruple Double(but to be fair, Johnny Moore fell one steal short of doing the same thing).

Don't forget that Alvin won DPOY in 85-86. Over the course of that season he recorded over 300+ steals. Funny thing about that is despite winning DPOY, he only made second team All-Defense that season.

Despite being only 6'4", he was a superb rebounder on both ends (much more so than Bruce) and was a far more physical defender. Played the passing lanes with reckless abandon and was tenacious at applying on-the-ball pressure.

He really worked hard to develop his outside shot and created a lot of "easy" points for himself and others simply off turnovers and opportunity baskets.

As someone mentioned earlier, I don't know that he was as effective as a one-on-one defender against taller players as is Bruce, but from baseline to baseline, there were few defenders in the league, then or now, better than him.

He was the reason the Spurs organization traded away Spurs legend, George Gervin to Chicago.

You wouldn't by any chance have any family members that go by the name of "ducks" would you?

So you select a season the player played for the team or just period? Does it have to be one of the years with the team cuz then you can select Dominique Wilkins?

I can't select Wilkins because he's already on the Atlanta squad. If it was a player (Chuck Person for example) that isn't on any squad, I could select him - but only use one of the statistical seasons he had in SA.

Thanks for all the help. The judges took ABA ball into context of lesser compe ion so the rankins were as high for some of the players listed that I like so I didn't go with them.

Another aspect is salary - either based on value for older/retired players or current contracts for current players. I'll keep the board up to date if you don't mind - top prize is a couple of Lakers tickets to any game, so its getting my focus.

I've made my first deal - Tony Parker ($7.0) and Manu Ginobili ($8.0) for Penny Hardaway ($10.0). It created more cap space for me - I'm 8 mil under, and I also get to use Penny in his prime when he was a top 5 player in the game.

I'm close to dealing Gilmore for a sniper - I want Reggie Miller but I may "settle" for Drazen Petrovic. Drazen actually was a better shooter but Reggie has that clutch factor I want.
