Sean Elliott, the former San Antonio Spur, was never the kind of guy who really sought attention. He was more likely to shy away from it. He’s a quiet guy who once said after a game he liked to go home and watch his fish.
That’s not to say he didn’t deserve acclaim. Elliott was a very gifted player.
Born in Tucson, he was at the University of Arizona just as Lute Olson was turning it into a national power. Elliott and Steve Kerr, later teammates again with the Spurs, were the key components of Arizona’s 1988 Final Four team.
