Officially a free agent for the first time in four years, and entering the next phase of my basketball media career.
I'm starting a brand-new publication to cover the Spurs, so check it out, subscribe, and tag along for the journey.
Dejounte Murray has made it tough to root for him since he got traded to the Hawks this summer, and badmouthing his former team is lame.
The Spurs made him a starter by year two, paid him before he proved a darn thing, and prioritized his development following a serious injury.
That Tim Duncan quote “I played him after I was me and before he was him” really resonated with me last night.
We witnessed a historic performance from Wemby as a rookie while Lebron showed his greatness even in year 21.
How can you not love basketball?
The NBA is rumored to be replacing “City Edition” jerseys with “Mixtape” jerseys this season to celebrate their 75th anniversary.
These alleged “Mixtape” jerseys will pay homage to prior uniforms, logos and color schemes from each team’s design history.
Dejounte Murray met Zion at the rim today, but the mainstream sports media was too afraid to show us.
I scoured the depths of social media to uncover this sacred clip, and I finally found it.
Shoutout to
@SpursBR_
for sharing this priceless footage.
Victor Wembanyama has been putting in hours honing his body with personal trainer Melvin Sanders.
Sanders is a former San Antonio Spur who has worked with Von Miller, Julius Randle, and Errol Spence Jr.
The NBA has nominated Dejounte Murray for his first Western Conference Player of the Month Award.
The sixth-year point guard averaged 22.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 2.1 steals in January.
Rafael Nadal being 112-3 at the French Open is one of the all-time astounding sports stats.
Most people probably don’t complete mundane tasks successfully 97.4% of the time.
The Athletic has named Tim Duncan the 9th best player in NBA History.
“The Spurs just showed up, kicked ass and went home. This was, by no coincidence, a reflection of Tim Duncan, its undoubted superstar.”
22 YEARS AGO TODAY
The Spurs selected Manu Ginobili with the 2nd to the last pick in the 2nd round of the 1999 NBA Draft.
He finished his career as arguably the greatest Sixth Man ever.
The Spurs have finally won their first game after trailing entering the third quarter this season…against a playoff team in the clutch…and it also comes as Gregg Popovich picks up the all-time regular-season wins record…you couldn’t write a better script if you tried…
There is no argument against Ginobili deserving his first-ballot Hall of Fame enshrinement.
It isn’t strictly an NBA honor and Manu is among the most decorated overseas players ever.
Gregg Popovich coaches Team USA to their fourth-consecutive gold medal at the Olympics and puts the abundance of false narratives to rest.
He is unequivocally one of the greatest play callers of all time regardless of the sport and he adds a huge accolade to a legendary career.
This is hands down one of the most uninformed takes on Pop I have ever seen. The fact it comes from a person with such a huge platform makes it so disappointing. Please stop pretending to be a Spurs fan.
Gregg Popovich isn't going to like it that he's now the second biggest star in San Antonio. He will soon make it tough on Wemby, break the kid down so he (Pop) can take credit for building him back up. Hope Wemby doesn't go Kawhi on Pop and say, "Enough of this."
Manu Ginobili owns the highest career plus-minus by any player off the bench in NBA history, at +3,154.
He was also a two-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA honoree, and a four-time NBA champion with the Spurs.
Manu Ginóbili won his first and only Sixth Man of the Year Award on this day exactly 13 years ago.
He won four titles with the Spurs and scored the seventh-most points off the bench in NBA history.
HUGE night for the Spurs:
-Beat the reigning MVP on the road
-Secured Toronto’s 2022 first rounder
-Clinched their spot in the play-in
-Kicked the Lakers out of the play-in
"There's a special relation between France and the Spurs. ... The whole country wanted the Spurs to have the first pick."
-Victor Wembanyama

Shoutout to Sochan for having his best game of the season when the Spurs needed him the most.
Went for 14-5-9 with ZERO turnovers and locked up Devin Booker down the stretch of a tight game.
Lonnie Walker IV has seemingly turned a corner since the trade deadline.
He has averaged 19.5 points on 50.8% shooting over his last four games.
Nice to see him playing the best hoops of his career after a rough start.
After selling a record-setting 63,592 tickets for their celebratory return to the Alamodome, the Spurs will move from 28th in home attendance to 15th in a SINGLE GAME.
Popovich signed a five-year extension, landed Wembanyama, and entered the
Hall of Fame in one freaking summer.
Great things come to those that put in the work and I can’t wait to see how all this reinvigorates him this season.
Gregg Popovich has the most regular-season and playoff victories by a head coach in NBA history and his longevity and resume should guarantee there are zero arguments about if he is the greatest play caller of all time.
Wembanayama and Vassell are gonna become a dangerous one-two scoring punch for the Spurs in a couple years.
Combined for 58 points on 20-of-37 shooting against a playoff contender allowing the fewest points in the NBA.
The Spurs say Wembanyama will not travel to Sacramento for the California Classic next week
The first overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft will join the team for Las Vegas Summer League.
