Best documentary made by a nba franchise not called the NBA
Insane how an injury can alter potential. Mr. Silas was before my time. I came to be a spurs fan in97 (and I’m 38 now)And I always wondered WHO Silas was (every time I’d see his jersey) and now I know. So thank you for this. Makes me want to buy a Silas jersey now 👍🏼
On that note I want to wish Blake Wesley a strong and speedy recovery.
&also GO SPURS GO!!!
Hearing James say San Marcos blew my mind sadly he got hurt here but Mann that’s my hometown!!
Wow so he was the 1st Spur ever to get his jersey retired
Yes
1976 All-ABA first team. That year he was the 6th highest per game scorer and had the 2nd best TS% among qualifying players (about 20% more efficient than the league average). What a year.
wow so beautiful, i love these history stories of my favorite team, its insane
My eyes started to water a bit when he was speaking about the injury.
James Silas #13 and Johnny Moore #00 are the only two retired jerseys I need if only I was born earlier but my childhood was great because from 98-2018 we always started the season like we were gonna party like we did in 1999 Go SPURS Go 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
Watched him play at the Lila B many times. What a team they had! Those were the days!
respect to silas. Never saw him since i’m a 90s baby but that’s incredible to hear the story
Thank you for sharing this
I didn't know who James Silas was
👍
Great initiative to produce this series! Thanks from Australia.
Need more of us aussies to follow the spurs. They have a great Australian connection. Loved my spurs since 94!!!
Thanks for sharing. Didn't get a chance to watch him play. I became a fan of the Spurs during Robinson and Duncan time. His niece is my sister-in-law.
You know, it's gonna be a while until the Spurs retire any jersey (beyond Kawhi Leonard's), and Artis Gilmore gave us same great years. Let's retire #53, give the A-Train another richly deserved honor.
That's my friends dad know him personally his kids are super athletes too
I wish he played with Houston in the NBA with Calvin Murphy.they said that Silas was really the biggest star from the ABA during the merger not doctor J but Bill robizine landed on his leg in pre season.was he as quick as tiny Archibald
Reminds me of kyrie before kyrie
I think he was more of the Andrew Toney/Joe Dumars/Hersey Hawkins type. Smallish for a two-guard, physical, reliable mid-range jumper. Not a guy with great handles.
He was a point guard not a two guard!!! Handled the ball on every Spurs possession. He played defense, too !! Unlike Kyrie. No drama, either, just play!
He was drive the lane, stop on a dime. The defender would keep backpedaling and Si would shoot the jumper. It was money!! He was a stud!!
Damn I wish I looked as good as Silas and Gervin in their primes
