    Because a lot of us choose to give George Gervin his proper respect by putting him in the top five. The guy is in the Hall of Fame, won 4 scoring les, made 5 All-NBA first teams and was a 12-time all-star. He also was the face of this franchise for the first 15 years of its existence and a big reason why the Spurs stayed in SA and was brought into the NBA.
    Also...

    Still involved in SA community and with the Spurs,

    Has the coolest (literally) nickname ever, and

    Credited with inventing the finger roll (whether true or not).

    You can still put Manu instead of Tony or Sean

    Yes you can but not instead of Gervin. That is why I put the * by Sean's name and that note about Manu. To me they are virtually tied but Manu still has a lot of ball left. I do think that TP has established himself as the best PG the Spurs have ever had. But no top 5 should be without Gervin. IMO any list of all-time Spurs starts with Ice, DRob and Duncan, in any order you want but you have to start with those three.

    I think that if Manu and Tony play their entire NBA careers in SA they are going to get a bigger status among spurs fans than Gervin
    Only from the young and/or dumb. Without Ice there wouldn't be a San Antonio Spurs basketball team today.

    Interestingly, Shaq is top five on both the Magic and the Heat.

    If he's selected for the Lakers top 5 he'll complete the trifecta.

    Is Larry Kenon getting the shaft here? I know next to nothing about him but 20 and 10 is nothing to sneeze at.

    I would say yes. He wasn't a popular guy, but if you're just talking about overall basketball skills, he was probably better than Eliott.

    1. Robinson
    2. Duncan
    3. Gervin
    4. Parker
    5. Manu

    if you look at only his body of work, Alvin Robertson was awesome, especially having done what he did being surrounded by scrubs in the late 80s.

    any lifelong Spurs fan, born before the 90s will totally have your back on this one.
