Your all time disliked 10 Spurs players

[Millennial_Messiah]

No particular order: Rod Strickland, Jeff Pendergraph-Ayres, Nick Van Exel (never should have been signed), Hedo Turkoglu (Choker), Jeremy Sochan, DeMar DeRozan, Ime Udoka, Keith Bogans (Centerpiece), Richard Jefferson (Dick), Dejuan Blair (Turd)

Honorable mention: Choo-Choo i.e. Gary Neal. Got threeballed on by a 38 year old with one shoe.


If the Spurs didn't win the championship in 2005 then Nazr Mohammed easily makes this list, because of who we traded to get him was one of my childhood faves and a guy I met in person as a kid

@Maddog without Jax we don't win the championship in 2003 and probably get swept by OKC in 2012.

Beno was just born 10 years too soon. In the pace and space era, he’d be a weapon. The very thing Pop hated, PUJITs, is what drives offenses now.

Nick Van Exel was the definition of a PUJIT player who was lax on defense. Why did we sign him in August 2005 literally 4 days before Katrina landfall? (They signed Finley ON Katrina Landfall Day.)

Malik Rose...he's the Black Bonner with no 3pt shot, but far more heart and physical and mental toughness. But, like Bonner, he was a bottle neck stunting the Spurs' real potential on every roster he made.

no..... Rose was the Dejuan Blair before his time in terms of player archetype. But unlike Rose, Blair was a whiny, bitchy lazy ass. Neither one were particularly talented, but Blair not having any jump shot at all was really bad for the era we had him, at least Rose played in an era when basically 60-70% of the PFs in the NBA couldn't shoot threes worth a lick, so it was easier to a) justify having him on the floor offensively next to Duncan, and b) hide him as a paint defender and sag off worse power forwards who couldn't shoot, but Rose was basically useless against offenses that featured players like Dirk. The Robinson-Rose frontcourt lineups in 2001 to 2003 (whenever Duncan needed a breather) always frustrated me because that was when we'd go like 4-5 minutes of game time at a time without a bucket. The original turd towers.
