The San Antonio Spurs, over the past 30 years, are known for big men David Robinson and Tim Duncan. They carried the team to five total NBA championships and are known as two of the top Spurs in franchise history.
Before them was George Gervin, Johnny Moore, and James Silas, three backcourt players that carried the team in the 1970’s and into the 80’s. However, in the midst of them was a center, Artis Gilmore, who was San Antonio’s best center of all time before Robinson and Duncan.
Gilmore was one of the ABA’s most talented players in its brief existence.
