Rodman?

Great slam there, whottt . . . .Close but forgot Whitney, Eisley and Murray...at least you got Cassell...Shoogar should be embarrassed.
but if you're saying that Murray, Whitney, and Eisley played in the 1995 WCF, you're wrong.
The Spurs released Eisley on April 17, 1995 and he never played a single playoff game for SA -- pretty hard to play a playoff game when you're no longer on the roster.
Howard Eisley Stats
Same goes for Whitney. Whitney was waived before Eisley was, on Februry 23, 1995. Like Eisley, Whitney has never played a single playoff game for the Spurs.
Chris Whitney Stats
Lastly, Tracy Murray was on the Rockets roster in 1994-95 (like Eisley and Whitney were on the Spurs roster for part of that season) following the Drexler trade, but he did not play in any playoff games for the Rockets -- in fact, he's never played in a playoff game for Houston.
Tracy Murray Stats
The Players who appeared in the 1995 Western Conference Finals were:
Spurs:
1. David Robinson
2. Sean Elliott
3. Dennis Rodman

Dave DeBusshereName the HoFer who played both NBA and MLB3 Players I can think of played for the Boston Celtics and also played Major League Baseball.

Someone said a bad word about Andrew Gaze?I was gonna be nice until Aussie Jesus was mocked!
To answer Whottt's question...I am going to say one...Robert Horry.
oops forgot about Cassell....good call.
Ahh, vindication. Thanks FWD.
Also, right on DeBusschere. Still need to answer the former MVP who played both NBA and MLB?
Jordan...
And I just phrased it incorrectly...I just meant how many players were still active from those teams...
So no, no vindication.
And no excuse for Cassell
Hmm, did MJ ever actually make it to The Show?
If so, my apologies, that's not who I'm thinking of, and there's another answer.
Is the MVP Jordan?
I can't remember if Jordan took any official MLB At Bats...I think he did...and if it's not Jordan I don't know who else it was.
And I have no idea who hit Shaq in the balls.
Nice job of changing the question to fit your answer (the original question was: How many players are still active in the NBA from the 94-95 Western Conference Finals(both teams)?).
You asked a question that several people answered correctly, and then you blasted them for missing a question that you never asked.
Are we supposed to be doing the Carnac thing with you?

Wrong again. Jordan never appeared in an official MLB game (though he did play for the White Sox in a Wrigley Field exhibition game against the Cubs).
The MVP is Groat, the National League MVP in 1960 (I think) and a one-year wonder with Fort Wayne in the 50's.
Here's one, we've gone through HOF'ers who've played for the Spurs, but how many HOF'ers have been drafted by the Spurs?
2. DRob and Parrish.
Groat is the answer I was thinking of.
HOFers drafted by Spurs: none (DRob pending)
However, this is probably a trick question, and there were some future HoFers drafted by the ABA Chapparels who were never actually signed.
partial credit - the Spurs did draft The Chief in the 5th round in 1975; so part of your answer is right, but that only answers part of my question.
I'll rephrase my question (lest I be inconsistent) . . . . How many current members of the Basketball Hall-of-Fame were drafted by the Spurs?
Actually, that's a good point -- I am talking Spurs franchise, regardless of location.
Jeezus chris......The only one I made a big deal about was Casell because he smoked us in the last game of the WCF, how can you forget that guy...and it was a joke anyway.
Just so you know...
That was a carry over question from last night in chat in which we were trying to find the last active members from various Spur teams, that was the last one I asked and no one answered it then...and were not going back and trying to figure who was on the playoff rosters...
For instance...we mentioned Mo Cheeks on the 89 team...we did not disqualify him as being a member of that team because he was traded in mid season and was not on the playoff roster....he was a member of that team...
But you are right I phrased the question wrongly...but I knew the answers I wanted for that question before I asked it...that is why I did not accept the answers that did not fit it...
From now I will remove all sense of personality and give robotic emotionless answers lacking any attempts at humor or anything else...so I don't you up in the future...
Happy now?
Live long and prosper!
Then one. Parrish.
Just saying that it's really hard to answer a question if you don't even really know what the question is. That's all.
Look, man, I have no problem, other than you pushing around people who can't read your mind and answer questions that you haven't asked. . . . you're pretty unforgiving when it comes to people misstating what they actually mean -- just saying that street goes both ways.
My hint is that there are 2 more, both from the Chapparal days.
Tiny Archibald was one
Tiny is one -- drafted in 1970. There is one other; a guy who is still around the NBA . . . .
Say man, you said Spurs. I don't even know what the a Chapparal is.
