1993-94 NBA Season
As originally posted by Tony Miller:
The 1993-1994 season saw the Spurs move from HemisFair Arena to the Alamodome, where my middle-school gym teacher once saw Pink Floyd burn a hole in the ceiling with lasers. I don’t know what that has to do with anything, but I thought I’d mention it because I have nothing else to put up here.
