Welcome to the board. That's a great list of Spurs experiences.
Allow myself to introduce.........myself.
I just joined the forum a couple of days ago. I'm a lifelong Spurs fan who's lived through the ups and the downs, cursing the out of the TV most of the time. I'm a native San Antonian who lives in Dallas, but I watch every game on league pass and still get to a couple of games every year. Among my qualifications as a Spurs fan:
- Saw a game with Gervin at Hemisfair when I was a kid.
- Remember that sinking feeling when Portland scored 50 points on us in the first quarter of game 1 in 1990.
- I still hate Rod Strickland for that damned behind the back pass.
- I know all the words to the Fast Breakin' Fiesta song and the Spurs Midnight Basketball rap and "This is How We Do It" (the Spurs version)
- Yelled "Is it too late Iceman???" at Gervin when I saw him at Northstar mall when I was in high school. He responded by glaring at me.
- Talked to Rodman on St. Mary's street one night. Kind of a funny story behind it that I won't get into now.
- Got soaked during the infamous water canon incident in 1994. after the game I led a chant of "Bob Hill sucks" in the Alamodome hallway in response to Rodman being suspended for the game.
- Dated a Silver Dancer during Duncan's rookie year, allowing me to attend every game.
- Was at the two finals games in '99, the memorial day miracle, games 2 and 6 in '03.
- Have been known to go entirely too far and make it too personal when arguing about the Spurs. I was on a plane right before game 7 in 2005 and almost punched this little asian dude that said that the spurs weren't as tough as the pistons and there's no way they'd win. by chance i saw that same guy at the airport like 6 months later, remembered him, and reminded him of his take. he wasn't very receptive to the conversation.
I have like 15 other things that come to mind, but enough about me. I look forward to talking Spurs with you guys. Some of you may know me already, I recognize some names from another board.
Welcome to the board. That's a great list of Spurs experiences.
Welcome Chill.
Enjoyed the personal tidbits. Keep 'em coming.
You sound a bit like me. Native San Antonian living in Mavs land and a LP subscriber.
Welcome to the only troll-free Spurs forum![]()
thanks guys.
oh yeah one more thing:
i was at game 6 vs. dallas in 2006. right after we lost, there were a bunch of mavs fans in the hallway talking smack. so literally 5 minutes after we lost, i started leading a chant of deee-troit-bas-ket-ball clap-clap-clap-clap-clap yelling right at the Dallas fans. Then I started yelling about how I couldn't wait 'til rasheed destroyed dirk.
Of course they wound up not even playing Detroit. I just wanted to rain on their parade a little bit.![]()

Good ChillFactor. Welcome to Spurstalk.
Never mention that place around here.
I went to highschool with a current Silver Dancer. Yasmeen. I also sat next to Vinny Del Negro's wife at one game I was like 8, and she had the most giant ring I've ever seen. Does anyone care? Oh well.
Welcome Chill. You know me - wink wink

I was there in '94 as well during the water canon deal but I was on the other side laughing.
