Vinny Del Negro “The best years of my NBA career were in San Antonio”

One cannot talk of the 90s version of the San Antonio Spurs without talking about Vinny Del Negro.

Drafted in 1988, Del Negro kicked off his career with the Sacramento Kings before joining the Spurs in 1992. He spent six seasons with the team while they were building around David Robinson.

One of the pioneers of NBA players to migrate into international ball, Vinny played in Italy, winning an Italian League Championship before joining the Silver & Black. He returned to Italy after being in San Antonio to regroup, then returned to the NBA to finish out his playing career.
