Your all time favorite 10 Spurs players

my real list though...

Manu - know he's not the best, but he's my favorite
Duncan - no description needed
Robinson - i caught the tail end of his career, but was my first "favorite player"
Wemby - yeah its very early, but its clear what we are seeing is special, and he seems like a genuinely good dude
Parker - i hate that it feels like im slighting him, but somebody has to be 3rd from the big 3. the one man fastbreaks were huge in that low scoring era
Danny Green - my favorite role player. icy hot, but was a really good postseason performer, and his transition defense was something to behold
LMA - didnt win here, and his decline was hard to watch. but by FAR the biggest FA draw we've ever had, and he always fought hard. dragged us to playoffs in 17-18
Diaw - not a very long tenure, but a very impactful one. epitome of the beautiful game
Horry - hated him before and after his spurs tenure, but a 2 time champ with us, role player extraordinare, and helped save duncan's legacy by bailing us out in 2005

sigh

Kawhi - i know. i know. I KNOW. i know. I SAID I KNOW.

but... for about 6 years, we all loved basically everything about him. going toe to toe with lebron in the finals as early as his second year. delivering the finals MVP performance in 2014. back to back DPOYs. the game against the Rockets where he buried the game winning 3 on one end and pinned Harden's layup against the backboard on the other end. him looking like the kryptonite to the Durant Warriors. just an absolute monster, and for a time, he was OUR monster, and a champ.


frankly, i didnt really catch the good years of Sean Elliott. i recall the memorial day miracle but not much else really. if i was a couple of years older im sure he'd have made my list. same with some of the elder statesmen like Gervin, Gilmore, Carr, etc

other honorable mentions... DeJounte Murray, Stephon Castle (think he'll get there), Brent Barry, Patty Mills, Tiago Splitter
 
Duncan

Aldridge
Elliott
Bowen
Danny Green

Honorable mentions: Diaw, Castle, Malik Rose, Horry
 
Thought Silas was considered the Spurs best player at the time of the merger
By some. Gervin attracted more media attention because the crazy moves and shots. But, damn, Silas was really really good. One of the great Spurs tragedies that he was never the quite same after that preseason injury as the Spurs entered the NBA. Orthopedic care has come a long way.

I'm not a great fan of top 10s, because it gives the impression that each ranking is clearly above the other
But here goes
Top 5
Gervin, Duncan, Robinson, Silas, Manu
I could quibble with the order

Close to top 5
Tony

Next
Alvin Robertson (entertaining beyond belief-only non big with a quadruple double)
Wemby (early but wow)
Bobo (one season- but magical)
Billy Paultz (don't ask)
