If all the media attention, primetime Summer League games, nationally-televised preseason games, and a jump from one nationally-televised regular season game the last two seasons to 19 next season wasn’t enough proof that Spurs are back to being relevant in the eyes of the sports media, how’s this: the Spurs are getting their own ESPN correspondent. That’s right, ESPN’s Andrew Lopez recently tweeted that he is moving to San Antonio to cover Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.
To be able to cover two one-of-a-kind prospects from their rookie seasons - first Zion Williamson and now Victor Wembanyama - is something I’m thrilled about.
