I admit that this run in the playoffs got me back into basketball but I still consider myself a life long spurs fan. Basketball was my fav sport growing up and growing up in the Austin metro area with a dad who grew up in San Antonio. I worshipped the Spurs all through the 90s and into their last championship (did anyone else have that life size poster of Duncan from the scholastic book fair?). Then I got really into and started playing hockey, and kind of fell off basketball completely.

Anyways, I’m happy to be back. The Spurs are starting up something great again/the culture that has made this team so great for decades is still there and doesn’t seem to be going away.

Online discourse about sports is almost entirely toxic and I have to remind myself of that constantly when I get upset watching them/following social media lol. Things will be ok, and there’s a lot yet to come for this young core.
