For a moment imagine that the Dallas Chaparrals had never made the trip down I-35 to the Alamo City. Perhaps they would have floundered around the ABA a few more seasons until the NBA incorporated the Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New Jersey Nets, and Virginia Squires.
It’s quite possible San Antonio would not have gotten a major franchise in any sport.
Who would San Antonians root for?
I was thinking the other night as the Spurs faced the Philadelphia 76ers that I actually like a lot of players from Philly.
