Spurs community is “Bigger Than Basketball”

The Spurs 50th anniversary docuseries The Ring of the Rowel released episode 12 entitled “Bigger Than Basketball.”

This year not only marks the 50th year of Spurs basketball, but also a half-century of Spurs Youth basketball Camps.

Red McCombs was essential in getting coaches and players involved in the community, a perfect fit for Gregg Popovich. He and the front office find players who fit the mold of the community and willingly join in service.

This video is chocked full of images of Spurs from every era. It’s easy to see what makes the Spurs the greatest franchise in sports.
