San Antonio Spurs

7-foot-4 phenom Wembanyama is the top prize in 2023 NBA draft. Here are the 10 best prospects.

May 17, 2023 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Victor Wembanyama doesn’t like being called “The Unicorn.” It’s the nickname mostly associated with Latvian standout Kristaps Porzingis. About the only thing Wembanyama and Porzingis have in common is their height. Both are extremely tall men raised on European soil. But the comparisons end there.

July 12, 2016 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

When Tim Duncan announced his retirement from basketball, there were no journals in the Players’ Tribune or made-for-TV specials or farewell tours.

April 14, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

For almost two decades, the San Antonio Spurs have accumulated an impressive collection of rings, bronze hardware and gold trophies.

Kawhi steps out of shadow of Spurs’ Big 3

June 15, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

When San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich unleashed Kawhi Leonard, the 2014 NBA Finals turned into a one-sided contest. Leonard looked like a different player after a disappointing Game 2. He scored a playoff-career high 29 points in Game 3 and followed that up with a 20-point, 14-rebound effort in Game 4. The Spurs won … [Read more…]

KD, Westbrook miss Harden vs. Spurs

June 1, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have to be asking themselves, “Where would our team be now if we still had James Harden?” Durant and Westbrook won’t say it publicly but privately they have to be frustrated at Oklahoma City owner Clay Bennett and general manager Sam Presti for allowing their good friend to leave town. … [Read more…]

He’s Ibaka: Return of OKC’s Serge Protector

May 25, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Serge Ibaka had a Willis Reed moment. For those who are too young to remember Willis Reed, he’s the guy who lifted the New York Knicks to a world championship in 1970 by sinking two baskets at the start of Game 7 despite a leg so badly hurt he could barely jog. … [Read more…]

OKC’s Reggie Jackson has Spurs’ number

January 22, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

While all eyes have been focused on Kevin Durant during his remarkable scoring binge this month, lost in the shuffle is the brilliant play of Reggie Jackson.

October 19, 2013 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

The Spurs made it to the NBA Finals and had the Miami Heat on the ropes, but were unable to prevent LeBron James and Co. from winning their second straight title.
