San Antonio’s basketball dynasty comes from the humble beginnings of an ABA team. Before 1973, the Spurs were a Dallas-based team called the Chaparrals. Their transformation over the last 44 seasons has shown a development in culture unparalleled by any other team in any other sport. From the very beginning, names like George Gervin, James Silas, Billy Paultz, and Larry Kenon wowed the HemisFair crowds. The stars of the 70s gave way to The Bruise Brothers before an era of Johnny Moore, Artis Gilmore, and Alvin Robertson would carry the Silver & Black through the 80s.
