Missions’ new ownership group includes Nolan Ryan, David Robinson, Manu Ginobili, Roger Clemens and Craig Biggio. The good news is if they want a downtown baseball stadium, which would be fun, they all have money.
That probably won’t stop them from asking you for some, though. – 11:41 AM

Casey said Bey will play starters minutes despite coming off of the bench. “I know you all are old enough to remember Manu Ginobili, he had a great career off of the bench.” – 9:58 PM

Wiseman insists he never had any doubt, even as others did. He came into the NBA believing he had star potential and that has not changed. He frequently studies video of Hall of Fame big men Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, David Robinson and Dikembe Mutombo – with particular emphasis on KG. “I love his tenacity for the game,” Wiseman said. “The way he pushed himself on the court, like on the defensive end, where he was a monster. I’m trying to become that type of player. I’ve got to give myself some grace, take it one day at a time. But I’m going to get there.” -via NBC Sports / October 18, 2022
