San Antonio Spurs Scrapbook (NBA)

David Robinson, He's done so much for this city during and after. Sean Elliot, no one can commentate basketball(professionally) better than him; always a SA favorite.
Avery Johnson, let's just say I cheered for the Mavs...next closest feeling to being a Lakers fan living in SA.

Why I am a fan:
|
If it wasn't for him, I could care less about golf. He made golf exciting to watch (for more than just anglos). There isn't a highlight for that one, but Nike, EA Sports and Gatorade are making sure you know about it.

Favorite Moments:
|
Too many on tour, but watching his "boomerang" iron shot during the Grandslam Champions Clinic is pretty cool.
