Pounding The Rock, I pitched a project that would cover every player who ever wore a
Spurs jersey. Not equally, by any means, but each jersey would be identified numerically by the players who wore it.
There is a significance to the numbers of jerseys as it pertains to the five NBA Championships that have been won by the San Antonio Spurs.
There is
#21.
There are five jersey
Tony Parker and #20
Manu Ginobili, but jerseys #2, #4, #5 and #11 have multiple players who wore them during titles runs.
The next set of jersey numbers are those
You know Lochmann and Nater, Restani and Wittman,
Jones, McNamara, Van Exel, and Vincent.

Affection for him always shows
Played with heart and with grit

Riney Lochmann wore #31 for the Dallas Chaparrals from 1968-1970. If you don’t know who the Chaparrals are, then we’re going to need to have an entirely different conversation.
Greg Wittman also wore #31, but for the Texas Chaparrals. Same conversation as above with some minor tweaks.
