What Spurs have worn the #54 in the past?
My wife and I went furniture shopping this weekend at Hilton Furniture (the official furniture store of the Houston Rockets!) and they had a bunch of sports jerseys on the wall. Most were immediately recognizable, but there was one Spurs jersey there. It only showed the front and the autograph on it looked like it said, "Gus" or something along those lines. The only 54 I can think of is Charles Smith, and I'm not even sure if that's correct. Can someone help ease my troubled mind?

You can (with some searching) find all these at http://www.nba.com/media/spurs/mg0506_former.pdf
Thanks Travis.
My pleasure...
Interesting trivia...Brad Lohaus left the Spurs in the trade that brought Charles Smith here.
And That's A Fact, Jack!!!
What number did Samaki Walker wear?
Was it 54 or 52?
52
Samaki actually wore 55 when he first arrived because the inimitable Chucky Brown had 52; when Brown left, Samaki snatched up 52 and loaned his ample skill and personality to the long history associated with that number -- Chucky Brown, Chuck Nevitt, Mike Smrek. Actually, that's not entirely fair, because George Johnson did some good things wearing #52, but he's decidedly the exception.
Ah but Samaki had a front row seat in the Rose vs. Johnson locker room brawl in 2000.
Still couldn't get over that one...my ass was rolling for days!!
