SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs’ roster isn’t constructed like a mid-2000s pop-rock group set to take the stage on a world tour.
It isn’t focused on one single player, nor a single aspect of basketball. It’s not uni-faceted, in any sense. It might feature Victor Wembanyama, who’s taken the NBA world by storm standing 7-4 with an 8-foot wingspan.
He’s been the front man of the Spurs since he was drafted. And more specifically, since he stepped foot on the San Antonio tarmac from his private flight to introduce him to the city for the first time. But he isn’t the only story surrounding the NBA’s youngest team — far from it, in fact.
That sentiment Utah Jazz coach Will Hardy made crystal clear.
Prior to facing his old team — serving as a Spurs assistant from 2015-2021 — the still-young head coach took questions about facing one of the game’s most generational prospects. But instead of focusing solely on him, he opted to paint a bigger picture.
