With 370 games played with Spurs, Keldon Johnson is on the verge of making San Antonio’s top 20 players. By the middle of the season, it should even exceed Kawhi Leonard (407 encounters), one of the legends of the franchise.
And among the members of the squad, apart from being the oldest, the winger is perhaps the closest to the local identity. “I love this city. When I put on a jersey, when I have Spurs on my chest, it’s more than basketball. I represent something that aspires.”, noticed Keldon Johnson.
Which is confirmed by his teammates. “He’s so honest. He doesn’t wear a mask, he’s just himself.”advance Jeremy Sochan. “He’s a real cowboy outside of basketball. Everywhere he goes, he’s dressed like a cowboy.”adds Julian Champagnie. “More than anyone, he embodies the Spurs in this city.”
“Living proof” that you can embrace San Antonio culture
The elements that show this are numerous: Keldon Johnson wears his black hat whenever he can and lives on a ranch 45 minutes from the city, where he has his horses, his cows, his goats, his chickens. however, “I knew nothing about San Antonio”he remembers when he arrived in 2019.
“I’ve been here for seven years and I’ve noticed something: you reap what you sow. If we accept this culture, we learn a lot from it. When that’s not the case, then it’s difficult.”analyzes the Spurs winger. “That’s what I share with everyone. It may not appeal to everyone aesthetically, but they have a plan for you. I’m living proof.”
That’s how Keldon Johnson finds it “It’s surreal to see people wearing my jersey or to see kids shouting my name and wanting to be like me”. “Playing for these fans makes me feel like I have the best job in the world”adds, speaking of “seven best years” his life. In the best city, then. “This is my home. No matter what happens next, when this is all over, I’ll be in San Antonio.”
