If it’s true you have to be good to be lucky, then there’s no better example than the Spurs and San Antonio. They’re good, and we’re lucky to have them. San Antonio without the Spurs would be a far less interesting city and probably a much harder sell to the talented young professionals and creatives we are trying so hard to recruit here.
Nothing unites people in San Antonio like the Spurs, except the military in moments of national unity, as happened after Sept. 11, 2001. Too often in our city’s history, the narrative has been North-South, rich-poor, Anglo-Hispanic. There is less of that now than when my family moved here in 1989, but through the 24 years we’ve been here, people have always come together around the Spurs.

More a human interest story for San Antonians than anything valuable for the greater fan-base, but it's still a long time until the Finals, so eff it.
