Red McCombs introduces David Robinson during a news conference after practice at the Incarnate Word College convocation center; San Antonio Spurs basketballThe day before a lottery envelope and a red chameleon helped save a franchise, the man in charge said he wasn’t sure catching a lucky break would be a good thing.
In time, those fans would grow to understand exactly how much they needed David Robinson, who not only signed a contract but also extended the organization’s then-tenuous South Texas lease by, oh, a few decades or so. But Drossos’ hesitation aside, the Spurs could not hide the zealousness of their desire to win the top pick. At the drawing in New York, general manager Bob Bass brought along a San Antonio postal worker named Roberto Pachecano, who’d won a contest to serve as the team’s lottery “lucky charm.”
“Our franchise is in a critical situation,” Bass said, pointing to attendance figures that had been second-lowest in the NBA. “And we need to do something to bring the fans back.” Many who showed up at the AT&T Center this season were encouraged by what they saw from first-time All-Star Dejounte Murray and youngsters such as Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell. But occasional flashes of improvement aren’t going to fill the seats, and modest development isn’t going to turn the Spurs into a championship contender again. Stars will.
