There are Kobe fans who pop into your mentions every time you make the slightest suggestion that someone else might be good at basketball.
It’s annoying, but the good news is they don’t need to waste their time tonight, because now we know once and for all that Bam is better.
Hey, welcome to San Antonio.
Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.
Even with all the spectacularly ridiculous alien highlights Wemby has, it’s the boring Timmy D stuff (that bank shot in the first half, that drop step just now) that’s making him unstoppable.
If the Spurs and Rockets have to play each other seven times in two weeks, I’m not sure anybody’s going to make it to the next round standing upright.
Flutist wearing a “BELIEVE WOMEN” shirt.
Excellent version of the anthem at Spurs-Rockets tonight from UTSA’s Rachel Woolf, in an excellent shirt.
RIP, Country Joe. His heyday was way before my time but thanks to the song Todd Snider wrote about him I knew he was born on New Year’s Day.

For this column I also got the most enthusiastic answer I’ve ever received from Kawhi Leonard.
(Was it the FIRST enthusiastic answer I’ve ever received from Kawhi Leonard? It’s been a long, long time. Who’s to say?)
“I haven’t been a winner before.”
How Spurs rookie Carter Bryant is starting to feel like one, thanks to nights like the one he had against the superstar role model who’d watched him run around a court as a 4-year-old.

The vibes just won’t die.
Tom Orsborn is a sportswriter who covers the San Antonio Spurs, but he's quite versatile. A few years ago, he was doing great reporting on the Food Bank. He became a cops reporter last night, writing about a shooting after the Spurs game. That's why you read us. www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...
Make no mistake, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales’ decision to drop out of his GOP primary runoff is grounded in political calculus, not a sudden awakening to morality, writes @joshbrodesky.bsky.social. bit.ly/3OQDT1b
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

All the folks across the country who heard about one of our local congressmen and couldn’t quite believe it are about to find out who his heir apparent is.
I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer.

This sequence started with the Pistons on a fast break, about to make things interesting. Nope.
The relentlessness of the local cagers can be quite something, man.
Only one traveler made it through the Spurs’ 23-day rodeo trip without visiting home.
Why Victor Wembanyama declined a few hours of rest and a security detail, and chose instead to become the awestruck witness looking up in wonder: www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...
An update to this story ... Victor Wembanyama told us tonight his missing family friend has been found alive and well.
"I'm just very, very relieved," he said.

A couple of fellas from the Spurs Insider podcast are visible during this clip and I’m thinking it might make a nice promo.
Spurs clearly trying to push the lead to 50 to avoid a runoff.
Victor Wembanyama has taken four shots and the Spurs are up 39.
If the Spurs win this one, they won't be the only Texans tonight to tip their hats to their opponents and compliment them for running an effective Cam Payne.
OK, so maybe the statue is modeled after a guy who, according to historians, helped a bunch of racist yokels fight the integration of schools.
But at least that guy never did the one thing Texas Rangers are absolutely not allowed to do:
(Attending a Pride Night.)
Woof.
Pretty bad news for ICE.
Just talked to Jeremy Sochan in the Knicks locker room about this. He confirmed Mom’s initial reporting. “Tell her I said what up."
Will do.
Mitch Johnson told me a story today about a Gregg Popovich staff dinner during a particularly low time for the Spurs. It helps explain why the coach of the NBA’s hottest team is embracing the hype, and everything that comes with it.

This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.
NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks."

Checked the quote tweets to make sure nobody beat me to this. (Also I scored like 12 points against Iraan in a previous century.)
Outside the cage.
Inside the cage.
Many of our younger (under 45) podcast listeners ask why we refer to the Spurs as the local cagers. The retro practice court here at Nike headquarters in Manhattan provides an illustration.
