The Western Conference Cometh - San Antonio Spurs
1. The Western Conference Cometh
With the coming Western Conference and The San Antonio Spurs position within the Interdivisional at
hand, there are the tried and true players: in Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobli and Tony Parker. Along with
this, The Spurs have gained two new fresh faces for their 2014-2015 rosters: Jonathan Simmons and
Boban Marjanovic.
Jonathan Calvin Simmons, who was signed on with The Spurs
on July 22, 2015 after helping the Spurs win the San Antonio
Spurs Summer League team in Las Vegas, was born
September 4, 1989 in Houston, Texas. Having gained much
recognition for his efforts in college, he declared in his senior
season he would join the 2012 NBA draft. However, it was
not until January 2013 he was drafted in the American
Basketball League with the Sugar Land Legends, and then in
September of the same year with the Austin Toros/ Spurs.
Since signing on with the San Antonio Spurs, Simmons has
worked on and off the roster between both the San Antonio and Austin Spurs.
As for Boban “Bobi” Marjanovic, born August 15, 1988 in Zaječar,
Serbia, he signed on with the San Antonio Spurs July 17, 2015 for a one
year contract. A distinguished player of the Serbian League whom has
won the gold medals at the 2007 FIBA Under-19 World
Championship and the 2008 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship,
Marjanovic has not disappointed with his debut with The Spurs on
October 30, where he helped the team by recording 6 points and 5
rebounds in the 102-75 win against the Brooklyn Nets.
At the San Antonio AT&T Center this coming December 11, 2015, the
San Antonio Spurs and their new teammates will be taking on their long-time Western Conference rivals,
the Los Angeles Lakers. This rivalry, which has gone on since the 1990s, has been the driving force for
years between both teams as they have faced off numerous times in the Championships; The Spurs
having won the NBA Championships in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2014, and the Lakers in 2000-02,
2009 and 2010. With as intense as this rivalry is, and with The Spurs having previously won the last NBA
Championships to make this their fifth Championship in total, both teams are tied for wins. So this year,
who may reign supreme? Will The Spurs leave The Lakers in the dust, or will The Lakers swamp the
Spurs? Only time will tell.
