That’s the san antonio river walk

@DevInTheLab I would like to see a play where Wemby is hooking hartenstein or grabbing/holding his hand down while he jumps for a rebound or tries to play defense. Off ball physicality to prevent a pass or establish position is different than holding someone’s arm as they’re goin for the ball

Please don’t beat me up for asking. But there’s lots of videos of people showing hartenstein being held by wemby the same he’s being held .. and showing that shai is for sure getting fouled … why is everyone completely ignoring that ?

The Pease Park troll cost about $300,000 to build, funded by private donors who wanted to create something magical for Austin. And now it sits burned down. A pile of ashes surrounded by caution tape. A giant wooden troll where kids laughed, families took photos, and people stopped for a moment to enjoy something whimsical in the middle of the city… gone. It’s hard not to feel like this is symbolic of something bigger. We build beautiful things in Austin, and somehow we keep finding them destroyed. Sometimes it really feels like we just can’t have nice things anymore. #atxcouncil

Reggie Miller loves introducing a nickname for a player that nobody has ever used before and that nobody will ever use again. He’ll say something like “the Venomous Toad grabs another board!” What are you talking about, man?

LIFE: you can’t YOU:

Keldon Johnson on his role with the @spurs: “I remember a couple years ago, I had a hard conversation with Pop. One morning, we were getting ready to play Dallas, and he pulled me to the side and told me that he thought it would be best for the team if I started coming off the bench. I said, ‘Yeah, of course. Whatever’s best for the team, I’ll do it.’ And I truly meant that, too. But I’m also just human, man. And I was like 24 years old. If I said that I fully bought into this role from the jump, I’d be lying. I had averaged 22 points in the NBA. I’d won a gold medal with Team USA at the Olympics. So I just didn’t understand. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. And ultimately, I didn’t take it well. I sulked. I let the outside noise affect my play. I didn’t present the best version of myself as I was coming off the bench for the rest of that season. And I knew that I was much better than that. I’ve been reflecting on that part of my journey a lot lately, with the position we’re in right now. To backtrack a little bit…. When I was drafted in 2019, that was probably one of the most stressful nights of my life. I’d had a great year at Kentucky, and I thought I was going 9 or 10. In my mind, my floor was 15 to Detroit. The crazy thing is, I didn’t even work out for San Antonio. We talked a little bit on FaceTime, but I honestly didn’t think I’d still be on the board at 19 when the Spurs picked. Definitely not at 29, where I ended up going. I don’t know why I slipped so much, but thank God I did, because I landed at a proven organization with vets who could mold me. That situation could have gone one of two ways. Thankfully, it went the good way. Dejounte was young, too, but he knew the ropes better than me, and he made sure that I did everything the right way. I can’t thank him enough to this day for how much he’s helped my career. Same thing with DeMar DeRozan. Those guys really embraced me and took me under their wing as a young guy, and showed me how it was done. I feel like I had such a great group of vets, whether it was LaMarcus Aldridge, Patty Mills, Rudy Gay — all those guys went out their way to make sure I was solid. I feel like they knew how good I could be before I even knew how good I could be. They didn’t let me skip any steps, which was huge for my career early on. And yeah, fast-forward to summer 2024, and I got to thinking back on my first couple years here in San Antonio, and how I could get that spark back, get back to being me. That’s when I started to see the bigger picture. We had picks. There were all these signs that we were building something that was gonna be special, all these bright green flags. But there was this one red flag. Me. In that moment, I had to take a hard look in the mirror. And man, I just got embarrassed. I hated that feeling — the feeling that I had let my vets down, and especially let my younger teammates down. This organization believed in me since day one, when Pop and our GM at the time R.C. Buford took a leap of faith on a player who was sliding in the draft and didn’t even have a workout at their facility. They had a plan, and I was a big piece of that plan. I just needed to get out of my own way. Period. I knew that I could either be the person who tries to fight the change, who makes it about them and their ego, and tries to do everything their way (which never really works). Or, I could trust the process. And the Spurs never gave me a reason not to trust it. So I bought into my role, and I put my best foot forward each and every night. Whatever I had to do to be the best version of myself, I did it. And I feel like this season has been a testament to that. I’m just really at home here. I think that’s probably obvious, right? The cowboy hat isn’t a gimmick. San Antonio is all me. Being a country boy, that’s just a part of who I am. From Huntington Prep to Oak Hill Academy to Kentucky, I feel like I just carried that country boy vibe with me everywhere I went.” playerstribu.ne/KJ

This yalls man?? 🤣😮‍💨

Me waiting for Spurs basketball

Finally a little honesty from the President

In the end, it was Trump who Californiaed my Texas.

When the plane lands and the people in row 40 stand up first

This administration refuses to take responsibility for any of their actions. Spirit specifically cited why they couldn’t stay in business: skyrocketing fuel costs due to Trump’s war. And the Trump admin is still trying to blame Biden for everything. Biden?! You could maybe get away with that if it were February 2025, but it’s May 2026. Trump was the “I’ll make everything cheaper on day 1” guy. The “no new wars” guy. Own your actions.

the spurs play playoff basketball today hallelujah

People who don’t understand that the outdoor recreation industry generates $1.3 TRILLION in annual revenue in the US alone are not financially literate. Or perhaps literate at all.
