For one moment, Sean Elliott found peace in the middle of an explosive Spurs playoff game.
Not on the court, at the broadcaster’s table or in his living room, but in the stands with the fans at the Frost Bank Center. The two-time All-Star and 1999 NBA champion watched his former — and forever — home team win a pivotal Game 5 against Minnesota. But the real uplifting moment came from a fellow spectator.
“I sat next to a guy at Game 5, and he had moved here from Jersey,” Elliott said. “And he said when he got here, he just felt like his soul was at peace. And he said, ‘How do I leave that?’ ”
If you follow Elliott’s example — and that of many other Spurs legends — the answer is easy. You don’t.

James Talarico's U.S. Senate campaign is getting some new national attention following President Donald Trump's endorsement of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the GOP runoff.
A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's PAC, which raised more than $380 million for Democratic candidates during the 2024 campaign, said they were "bullish" on Talarico's chances in the general election in November.
"There is every likelihood we'll make a mark there," said Senate Majority PAC spokesperson Lauren French.
The PAC wouldn't say whether they plan to directly fund the Texas race. But the statement quickly drew speculation in Washington that national Democratic money could soon be headed to Talarico.

Consider the universe. Think about the sheer vastness of it, the multitudes it contains. Victor Wembanyama has.
“The world is eight billion people,” he said Monday night.
Imagine knowing not a single one of them can stop you.
Imagine believing, as Wemby did while racing down the Paycom Center court late in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, that this great big world is incapable of producing a moment that cannot be met.
Imagine proving yourself right. Again.
