U cannot be serious.
hmmm.....DRob?
Is this a serious thread?
The Spurs will always be The Admirals team ...like the Lakers are Jerry Wests team..like the Celtics are Bill Russels team...like the Bulls are Jordans team...
and on and on....pick your franchise. Malone and Utah...Barkley and Phoenix...Hakeem and Houston...Dr. J and Philly...Isiah Thomas and the Pistons...Walten and the Trailblazers...
I could go through 'em all...
That would be a good thread, actually. What player do you associate with a team over its history ?
Does that answer your question...?

D Rob will always be San Antonio's favorite son and will forever be loved, but Manu is the most popular because of the style he plays and he flat out wins. I will bet anyone on this forum that when Manus career is over poll the city and it might not even be close.
Maybe ONE of the most popular Spurs, but not THE most popular.
:vomit :vomit :vomit :vomit
Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH!
I know you guys are loyal to Big Dave and so am I, but what i'm saying isnt out of the ordinary. Dave will always be Mr. Spur, but most "popular" will be Manu when his career is over especially he keeps playing the way he has been.
let's just wait for the 2006 All-Star voting, shall we?
for the meantime..........
WTF does the 2006 All-Star voting have to do with the people of San Antonio dumbass?
How could you ever measure something like that?
For example, at the AlamoDome celebration, Duncan got the most applause? So is he the most popular?
It's a weird thread.
There were 3 ladies sitting in front of me at the alamodome celebration and when Manu started speaking to the crowd in spanish the bursted out in tears in all my years as a spurs fan I have never seen that with any athlete.
let's see if he can beat Duncan in the number of votes, dumbass
Once again idiot i'm just talking about San Antonio, i'm not saying he is better than TD or 50 but he will be more popular with the people of SA once his career is over.
Yeah but....I think what he's saying is the # of votes in the all star voting is nationwide. You asked who was the most popular Spur so taking into account history and David Robinson can't GET a vote since .....
Ahh never mind....
I believe the question was 'most popular Spur EVER' and the all star voting doesn't take that into account much less the most popular player among the residents of SA.
Engrish rangruage most tricky...
That's quite an interesting thread, but really an impossible one to answer. On the one Manu can appeal the Spanish speaking population in a way that no Spur ever could, but I think that Manu is still looked at as an Argentine playing in SA. DRob is thought of practically as a native son. , I don't even really remember where Robinson is originally from.
20 years from now who will turn the SBC inside out with applause ?
David Robinson...as long as he's alive. He put the Spurs on the map and set the tone for the Spurs rep that they have today. Spurs are still the only X-ABA team to win 'A' le, much less three.
PERIOD !!!! End of STORY....
Thread OVER.
You guys all have your opinions and I have mine didnt mean to get all your panties in a wad. Once again though I believe David Robinson is the San Antonio Spurs, we wouldnt be here without him. I also believe Tim Duncan is the greatest player in Spurs History. But Manu Ginobili will go down as the greatest fan favorite in Spurs history in my OPINION, the way he hustles, his flare, and fire for the game makes him very appealing to the people of SA. If he plays a bigger role in coming years and we win more championships in which I think we will this is a very good argument.
i didn't see San Antonio here......Will Manu go down as the most popular spur ever?
I believe he already has
being popular is not only for the Spurs fans, or community but including fans around the NBA or the world. And one way of measuring that players' popularity is voting him in the All-Star game.
Who knows he could be the next Yao Ming? Maybe being him the most,your qoute, he should beat any other Spur in he roster in the votation to the All-Star."popular he already has"
if he can beat Duncan then, we'll see if he is by more popular than David.
let's start from there. for the meantime
Thats not a fair argument ASG voting because they play different postions, just as Tim was making the ASG every year and Big Dave wasen't doesnt mean that he was popular than Dave just the compe ion at the positons were different.
milky way you dont get it...
What Shyne is trying to say is POPULARITY not SKILL smartass..
Of course TD will get more All-Star votes than Manu, simply because TD is better than Manu!
Popularity and Skill is diff... geez people
no, DRob always.
