Greg Gonzales vividly remembers what he was doing 25 years ago today. Settled in front of a television alongside his wife, Janice, at his Northwest Side home, Gonzales was growing increasingly disappointed with how his San Antonio Spurs were playing. It was Game 2 of the 1999 Western Conference Finals and the Spurs were losing to the Portland Trail Blazers. The team he’d followed faithfully since childhood hadn’t led once in the game.

So, stick around. We’ll be here. We’ll be around.” Canales, 77, s…
