Spurs are the first team to have 3 straight All-Rookie First Team players since the 76ers did it from 2015-18. Before that it hadn’t been done since the Celtics from 1996-99.
My friend Steve ran into Dominique Wilkins at a pizza place in Georgia, went home to show him the sneakers ‘Nique gave him forty years ago, and it was just as meaningful a moment for Wilkins as it was for Steve.
Beautiful.
I just saw the referee assignments for tonight's Game 2 between the Spurs and Thunder at Paycom Center. Light a candle.
