Spurs History: Retired Jersey Numbers

Even in greatness there can be levels of tiers, and the San Antonio Spurs may be a perfect example with its honored players.

While there have been numerous inductees in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame who have connections with the franchise, but there's a core five along with coach Gregg Popovich who will forever be known as Spurs greats. Naturally, their jerseys all hang from the rafters at Frost Bank Center: George Gervin (44), David Robinson (50), Tim Duncan (21), Manu Ginobili (20), and Tony Parker (9).

The league also honored Bill Russell, as his No. 6 has been retired across the entire NBA.

So here's a great trivia question that the most serious San Antonio fans will likely get but give pause to most others: Who are the other five players to have their jersey numbers retired by the Spurs? You could even provide a hint that one of them also wore No. 6.
