San Antonio Spurs Media Day 2010 from 48 Minutes of Hell on Vimeo.

Former San Antonio Spurs center David Robinson was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for the second time on Friday, this time as a part of the 1992 US Men’s National Basketball team. You may know them by their nickname, The Dream Team. The 1960 Men’s National team was also inducted. And [...]

Alonzo Gee of the San Antonio Spurs was one of the frequently mentioned standouts at the Las Vegas Summer League this year. With injuries to the Spurs’ DeJuan Blair, James Anderson and Garrett Temple, and the last minute scratch of Malik Hairston from the roster, Gee became “the man” on the team. And those his [...]

If you don’t watch The Basketball Jones on a regular basis, you’re missing out. Recently, The Jones’ Tas Melas took some time to join sandwich enthusiast, and recently re-signed Spur, Matt Bonner in the kitchen to create a masterpiece of the deli. Or just a sandwich with chips. Have a look-see: He’s really got a [...]

We’ve talked plenty about Tiago Splitter in these parts. But we haven’t done a whole lot of work on explaining how he will actually fit into the San Antonio Spurs’ plans. Most of what we were concerned with was actually getting him in the silver and black. An important first step, I know. But now [...]

Have a safe holiday. Thanks again, Sean Elliott.

This is about as Hollywood as you’ll ever see Tim Duncan go. There is a deleted scene in the 2007 movie The Jane Austen Book Club where the character Dean Drummond goes on a humorous tirade about Tim Duncan. The fun behind this scene is that the actor who plays Drummond is actually Marc Blucas, [...]

There was a curious moment in the second quarter of the San Antonio Spurs 100-81 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday when DeJuan Blair was pulled from the game for all of about 30 seconds to talk to Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. Coach Pop sat Blair down, gave him instructions and sent [...]

Kevin Arnovitz, of TrueHoop and ClipperBlog, provides this breakdown from the fourth quarter of last night’s San Antonio Spurs-Los Angeles Lakers tilt. As Arnovitz points out, the Lakers look, uh, rough down the stretch. And the Spurs, I might add, are inching closer to unmistakable Spurs basketball. Arnovitz wonders whether the Lakers and Spurs will [...]

Hill’s athleticism is a breathe of fresh air. While many people accuse the Spurs of being boring (an accusation that I think is ridiculous), it is refreshing to have a guy out there who makes the poor rim quiver with fear whenever he takes it to the hole. When it comes to basketball, I’ll always [...]

This is a spectacular play on the part of Ginobili. Aside from being extremely clutch (the Spurs were up by 3 points with around a minute and a half left when the block occurred), one of the more difficult feats in the Association may be blocking D-Wade without committing a foul. Few players draw contact [...]
