Alright, so the other day, I got into this whole discussion with my buddy, you know, about that classic San Antonio Spurs team. We were trying to remember exactly who was on that 2014 championship squad. My memory’s not what it used to be, and his was even fuzzier, so I figured, hey, I’ll just look it up. It’s one of those things, right? You just gotta know.
So, I sat down, fired up the old computer. Went to my usual search engine, typed in something like “San Antonio Spurs roster 2014,” pretty straightforward. You get a bunch of results, of course. Some are just news articles from back then, some are stats pages. I clicked around a bit, trying to find a nice, clean list. Sometimes these sports sites can be a real mess with ads and pop-ups, you know?
After a little bit of digging, wading through some less-than-ideal pages, I finally landed on a couple of reliable sources. It’s funny how seeing those names again brings back the memories of those games. That team was something special, really played beautiful basketball. It wasn’t just one or two superstars, it was the whole group.
So, Who Was on That Legendary Squad?
Anyway, after piecing it together and confirming from a couple of spots, here’s the main group of guys who brought home the trophy that year. It’s quite the lineup when you look at it:
- Tim Duncan – The Big Fundamental, obviously.
- Tony Parker – Man, he was quick.
- Manu Ginobili – Always exciting to watch.
- Kawhi Leonard – Finals MVP! Just starting to show how good he’d be.
- Danny Green – Sharpshooter.
- Boris Diaw – So versatile, that guy.
- Patty Mills – Brought that energy.
- Tiago Splitter – Solid center.
- Marco Belinelli – Another great shooter.
- Matt Bonner – The Red Mamba!
- Cory Joseph – Good backup point.
- Aron Baynes – Big fella, provided some muscle.
- Jeff Ayres – Played his role.
- I think Austin Daye and Damion James were also part of the roster at different points that season, getting minutes here and there.
Yeah, looking at that list, it’s no wonder they won. What a team. It was good to go back and refresh my memory. Sometimes you just gotta dive into these little research projects to settle a debate or just for the sake of remembering some good times. Glad I took the few minutes to do it.
