The day has arrived. The San Antonio Spurs are hours away from playing in their first NBA Finals game in 12 years as they go for their sixth championship in franchise history. Plenty of Hollywood stars are bound to pack the sidelines during games 3 and 4 in New York, but who can we expect to see in San Antonio?
This should be a no-brainer. If Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker are not in attendance (at least separately if not together) fans of the Silver & Black are bound to be disappointed.
Given Victor Wembanyama is a Paris-Saint-Germain fan, we could see fellow Frenchman Ousmane Dembele, the reigning Ballon d’Or winner, in attendance, having just led his team to back-to-back UEFA Champions League victories.
Longtime Spurs fan Selena Gomez could secure a spot to watch the team alongside her new husband, Benny Blanco.
Texas politicians are historically not shy about attending sporting events. Greg Abbott and Gina Hinojosa could both be in attendance as they fight for the governorship. James Talarico has made several appearances in San Antonio during his senatorial race. Meanwhile, Spurs fans may do everything in their power to stop Ted Cruz from watching in person. He might be the only person who can overpower the Corgi’s goodwill.
Californian turned New Braunfels resident Gabriel Iglesias needs no excuse to visit the Alamo City for some good Tex-Mex. All that money he made in Saudi Arabia can surely help him afford a ticket.
Landman star Paulina Chavez has given back to her hometown several times in the past year. It would only make sense for the Paramount+ star to show up during the city’s biggest moment.
No one knows how he made his fortune, but James Goldstein has attended over 2,000 NBA games in his life, drawing attention for his flashy style while sitting courtside. Spurs fans first noticed him during the Minnesota Timberwolves series, so we have no doubt he’ll make his way back to the Alamo City.
Now for the real fans. If the Salesian Sisters are in attendance at the Frost Bank Center, the New York Knicks don’t have a chance. Maybe Pope Leo will make a surprise appearance before the series is over.
Baseline Bums vs. Spurs Jackals
It could be the old versus the new at the NBA Finals. The Baseline Bums have been around since the 1970s, but the Spurs Jackals are the new blood who get the Frost Bank Center loud and terrorize visiting opponents. Spurs fanatics of old and new should be loud and proud.
The San Antonio Spurs Silver Dancers were the franchise’s original professional dance team, active from 1982 to 2018. With the Silver Dancers getting more love in recent years, we’d love to see some of the former shining stars in attendance.
OnlyFans model BlueBeari, who goes by Blue, and content creator Julie J. Swan were spotted at the Western Conference Finals for all three home games in San Antonio. Blue posted AI images of the pair with Charles Barkley at the NBA Finals, so we can assume she and Julie will likely make another appearance.
