No one wore #3 in the Spurs inaugural 1999 NBA Championship. The next set of jersey numbers are those associated with three of the Spurs NBA titles. #9 ( Tony Parker) and #20 Manu Ginobili, as well as #2 (Jaren Jackson-1999, Nazr Mohammed- 2005, Melvin Ely- 2007, and Kawhi Leonard- 2014), #4 (Steve Kerr- 1999, Sean Marks- 2005, Michael Finley- 2007, and Danny Green- 2014), and #11 (Brandon Williams- 1999, Mike Wilks- 2005, Jacque Vaughn- 2007, Jeff Ayers- 2014). There are five numbers associated with four Spurs titles. He is coincidentally also the only player to be involved in all five titles. There is only one jersey number associated with all five San Antonio Spurs NBA Championships- #21. 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. Not equally, by any means, but each jersey would be identified numerically by the players who wore it. When I joined Pounding The Rock, I pitched a project that would cover every player who ever wore a Spurs jersey.
