Top 5 Spurs players of all time:(even taking the rings out of the equation)

Both are before my time, but I'm curious if you could tell me more about picking Moore over Silas. I've read a few pretty awesome things about Silas, especially before his injury, but I honestly don't know nearly as much anout Moore other than that he made the '81 All-Star team.

Silas was awesome in ABA, but once Spurs merged into NBA, he was injured too often and was only half his self because of the knee injuries.


Moore averaged over 10 assists for his career as a Spur. Moore also got his career derailed by contracting Desert Fever, and after that he was not near the player he once was. When he was healthy, he was probably the best passer from the guard position of any player to wear a Spurs uinform. He was awesome.

Bonner
Matty
Red Rocket
Matt Bonner
New Balance

-Blake

Not surprised.

Easy

Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Parker
Manu


lol people putting Manu above Parker. Maybe if Manu were capable of playing an entire season.

Same list as I have it. Gervin and Robinson are close and can be interchanged. No Gervin the team folds during the merger.

Silas was a better player at his height than Moore. Silas was clutch.

you add Manu's international game (FIBA) game accomplishments and he is far beyond even Kobe, and Wade in that respect, hmmmmmm

Can't do that. It is the NBA and the years with the Spurs we are talking about here. Parker above Manu.

This. Depending on whether he can submit several more seasons like this past one, Parker has a shot at displacing Gervin on my scorecard.

The rest of a 12-man roster:

Silas
Rodman
Gilmore
Sean El liot
Robertson
Bowen
Moore

Rodman was a joke and cost the Spurs a chance in the playoffs with a bad at ude. Should be no where on this list. Larry Kenon the most under appreciated Spur is ahead of Bowen, Gilmore(who was past his better years when with the Spurs) and Rodman. Bowen was a result of being on championship teams and the thread clearly said taking the rings out of the equation.

Really, you're right. I was thinking in terms of playing ability, but in terms of his actual value to the Spurs, he rates below Bonner or Oberto. Bonner doesn't contribute that much really, but he's never had a high negative value either.

If you count ABA, then maybe, but as I said, he missed more games than he played in the NBA. Moore was a much better passer, and therefore I give him the nod

For two seasons, his rebounding was highest of any Spur in history, but you're right, he cost us the chance to win the le with his shannanagans and probably cost Bob Hill's job.

Therefore, I do not put him on my list as top Spur out of the PF position.

Screw Rodman.
