i wish we had a time machine
I got bored...
And sad in the wake of Devin leaving...
So to stir the pot a bit... limited to 12 players... all in their primes
All-Time Spurs Team:
PG: Tony Parker
SG: George Gervin
SF: Sean Elliott
PF: Tim Duncan
C: David Robinson
Bench:
Manu Ginobili
Robert Horry
Bruce Bowen
Steve Kerr
James Silas
Avery Johnson
Mario Ellie
Adding these last players in their primes would make this team ridiculously talented... which is why I capped it off at 12 players... also, the last two only played one year
Chuck Person
Glenn Robinson
Dominique Wilkins
We Problably can field the fourth best All-Time-Franchise Team only behind:
1. Celtics
2. Lakers
3. Bulls
4. Spurs
5. Detroit
Becomes a bit blurry after this....
Sixers
Houston
Portland
NY Knicks

Sic 'em, two-t attack dogs.SF: Sean Elliot
Oooopss .... fixed.
I would definitely put the Sixers All-Time team in front of the Spurs. Off the top of my head:
C - Chamberlain or Malone
PF - the other (or Barkley)
SF - Erving
SG - Iverson/Billy Cunningham
PG - Cheeks
with one of Chamberlain, Malone, or Barkley on the bench, along with either Iverson or Cunningham, plus Doug Collins, Hal Greer, Dolph Schayes, and the ultimate 6th Man, Bobby Jones. That would be a pretty salty bunch, even if you disqualified Chamberlain.
The starting 5 for Rockets all-time team would be pretty stout, too, with choices among 2 hall-of-fame centers (Moses and Hakeem) and Yao, plus guys like Drexler and McGrady on the wings.
The all-time Warriors team would also be pretty solid. Chamberlain, Nate Thurmond, Rick Barry, Richmond, Hardaway, Mullin, Sprewell. They'd play little or no defense, but they also might not ever miss.
How do you leave out Larry Kennon?
I would leave out anyone who played less than 3 years with the spurs, so we couldn't add Moses Malone, Dominiuqe or Maurice Cheeks.
Starters:
1. James Silas
2. Manu Ginobilli
3. George Gervin
4. Tim Duncan
5. David Robinson
Bench
1. Tony Parker
2. Alvin Robertson
3. Sean Elliot
4. Larry Kennon
5. Artis Gilmore
last 3 spots: Bruce Bowen, Robert Horry, Dennis Rodman
BTW, the Lakers would be the best and it wouldn't even be close.
1. Magic
2. Jerry West
3. Kobe
4. Shaq
5. Wilt/Kareem
The list goes on an on. It's amazing the amount of talent the lakers have had.
once sick team,,,,and who would you place on the coaching staff....
Starters:
Johnny Moore
Manu Ginobilli
George Gervin
Tim Duncan
David Robinson
Bench:
Parker
Robertson
mings
Kenon
Silas
Mitc
Gilmore
Pop, Moe and Albeck.and who would you place on the coaching staff....
Pop, Larry Brown, and Moe.
Silas is unquestionably the top Spurs PG of all time.
He's the only guard other than Gervin to ever be All-League 1st Team, and the only other guard likely to be in the foreseeable future.
And it's close, but Kenon's stats put him on there ahead of Elliott
Celtics:
C: Russell, Parish
F: Bird
F: McHale
G: Cousy (or Sam Jones, or JoJo White)
G: Havlicek
Nope--Here is the best. First of all, you're topheavy with guards. I tried to make it look like a real bench with some regard for depth at each position and at least 3 years as a Spur.
All-Time Spurs Team:
PG: James Silas
SG: George Gervin
SF: Larry Kenon
PF: Tim Duncan
C: David Robinson
Bench:
Manu Ginobili
Terry mings
Bruce Bowen
Mike Mitc
Tony Parker
Sean Elliott
Artest Gilmore

I hate stat compairisons but being its all in fun and is impossible to field such teams it would be interesting to compile stats from each "dream team" and compare them to eachother.
PG - Silas / Parker
SG - Gervin / Manu
SF - Wilkins / Elliot
PF - Duncan / Rodman
C - Robinson / Gilmore
Anyone who says Kenon should be ahead of Elliott.... Elliott was a key piece in the first Spurs championship. Without him I seriously think the road to the Larry o'Brien in 1999 would have been much more difficult. Elliott got a ring, Kenon never got that far with the spurs.
Kenon had better stats but not a ring. If having a ring is the criteria, then Sean Marks >Artest Gilmore
By the way, we are leaving some great players (like Alvin Robertson) off the list.
You're reading out of context, and in part what you're saying is true, to an extent. The spurs just weren't good enough back then to be a true contender. IN 1999 elliott was one of the key reasons WHY the spurs were a contender.
EDIT: Let me explain further. You have TD, who is the centerpiece of the championship squad. Behind him comes DRob, and behind him, imo, is Elliott.
Ill put TC ahead of Rodman, because the spurs were never stupid enough to get rodman. Nope, it never happend. Its funny how some people believe these lies. Never happend.
Sorry I have an issue there.
I still put TC ahead though.
Alvin is definitely on the list. Based on accomplishments to date, Alvin is the #3 all-time guard behind Silas and Gervin and is ahead of both Manu and Parker.
Would anyone be able to score on this team?:
Alvin
Manu
Bowen
Duncan
Robinson
A team would be lucky to advance the ball past half court with Robertson and Manu in the backcourt. Those two are basketball thieves with their quick hands.
Alvin was the man.
You all have a good all-time team... but I don't think anyone in the league compares to the level of talent over the last 50+ years... of the Celtics and Lakers.
Absolutely.
But the Spurs probably field the best All-Time Defensive team.
