Which Spur wore #52?

[ginobili!]

I have a few pairs of practice or game used shoes worn by a San Antonio Spur with jersey #52. I've searched all over the net trying to find old rosters, etc. to identify the player, but no such luck. I've narrowed it down to possibly Samaki Walker (99-01) as he frequently wears this number but the one pic i found of him in a spurs uni was #55 so i am not positive. Any help would be appreciated.

cheers,

Chucky Brown did.

Samaki Walker did wear #52 in 2000-01 -- he wore #55 in 1999-2000, because Chucky Brown had #52 that season.

Other #52's George Johnson (1980-82) and Mike Smrek (1988-89).

That was lightning fast! Thanks for the info!

No picture, so I can't verify it. Can't find out anything else about the guy, and I don't remember him.

The most obvious question is why do you collect shoes with these numbers. It seems to be an odd obsession,considering the players who might have worn them.
