Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast.
Speaker 1: Witch your boy, A fan of the Black and Silver
Speaker 1: of forty years, got that right? A man that skin
Speaker 1: is so thick that even forty four.
Speaker 2: Hey, okay, here he is your host, Jade d.
Speaker 1: Wellcomereverby to a very special Wednesday edition of the San
Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast. Of course, your boys have got
Speaker 1: the week off, flying to Perlis, getting ready for the
Speaker 1: French Flies, French toasts, and I know there's other delic
Speaker 1: testings over there. I just don't know pastries. Sorry, wenby
Speaker 1: we we That's usually what the beer makes me do
Speaker 1: over there. But they're heading none over there, getting ready
Speaker 1: for their big game Saturday morning. It will be on
Speaker 1: the fan Dual Sports Network, and I believe it's going
Speaker 1: to be broadcasted on other locations, so make sure you
Speaker 1: check your local listings for that as well. Game one
Speaker 1: of two games against the Pacers coming up in Perrie,
Speaker 1: so getting ready for that. Hopefully a little bit of
Speaker 1: home cooking for Victor will do him some good time
Speaker 1: off for the Spurs as well getting ready for the
Speaker 1: second half of the season. So are we. But today
Speaker 1: we want to talk about that something happening today today, Wednesday.
Speaker 1: There's a big I don't know if you've heard about this,
Speaker 1: a big auction that's going online today.
Speaker 3: A few weeks ago, after the Spurs win against the
Speaker 3: Brooklyn Nets, Victor wembin Yama noticed a young fan holding
Speaker 3: up a sign that said, Victor Wenbinyama, will you swap
Speaker 3: jerseys with me? And so Wemby took off his game
Speaker 3: warrn Jersey and decided to take the time to swap
Speaker 3: jerseys with that young fan. But with that being said,
Speaker 3: today Victor wembin Yama noticed on social media that that
Speaker 3: same game warn jersey he swapped with that young fan
Speaker 3: was being sold online and up for auction with the
Speaker 3: starting bid of ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Boo boo. That's happening right now today on eBay. That
Speaker 1: man is selling that jersey for ten thousand dollars. Victor
Speaker 1: wembin Yama has been doing this all year long. He
Speaker 1: actually picked up the idea from Chris Paul. Chris Paul
Speaker 1: does it a lot. It's a great way to really
Speaker 1: get Victor out there, you know, get fans to like him,
Speaker 1: get Victor to be in the eyes of the public.
Speaker 1: Because if you're already going to be labeled the face
Speaker 1: of the NBA, of course you're going to go out there,
Speaker 1: sign a few autographs, take a few pictures. I mean,
Speaker 1: even Sean Elliott says that when Victor takes a picture
Speaker 1: with somebody's phone, it's hilarious. He goes, go, go, gadget
Speaker 1: arms first and foremost, but he goes He's got a
Speaker 1: built in selfie stick. He literally does with those long arms, right,
Speaker 1: So you're getting something very personalized from possibly one of
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time. To do it eventually, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying right now, calm down, lebron fans, Okay, calm down,
Speaker 1: MJ fans. I was an MJ fan. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: maybe eventually to do it. The interesting thing is, in
Speaker 1: this whole situation, what would you do, Spurs fans? What
Speaker 1: would you do in that situation? And what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is do you need the money? Does your
Speaker 1: family need the money? I could understand if let's say
Speaker 1: that something happened to the family's home kind of like
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick. We talked about this last week on the show.
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick and his kids used to get autographs all
Speaker 1: the time because JJ had a podcast and those said
Speaker 1: players would come into the podcast sign things for his kids.
Speaker 1: They lost everything. I could see if the father was
Speaker 1: gonna sell it to help the family, and maybe he
Speaker 1: is selling it to help the family. But if it's
Speaker 1: a personalized jersey, if it says too young so and
Speaker 1: so from Victor Wembinyama, you're selling now a memory that
Speaker 1: was supposed to be so good for your child. Now
Speaker 1: it's going to turn into public reticule for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life for ten thousand dollars. And the other
Speaker 1: sad thing is it more sad that he's selling the
Speaker 1: jersey or the fact that somebody out there will buy it.
Speaker 1: This is absolutely pathetic and the reason why people hate sports.
Speaker 1: This is why people hate fans, because you're not a fan.
Speaker 1: You are not a fan first and foremost. You have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to get courtside with your son close enough
Speaker 1: to a possible legend, and you go ahead and do
Speaker 1: something like this absolutely crass. I have two boys that
Speaker 1: love sitting all the way in the upper deck for
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars seats just to get a glimpse of the
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs, and you're down there selling it for
Speaker 1: ten grand. Something tells me that you probably had seats
Speaker 1: close enough. You paid maybe five hundred dollars, one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Maybe you're saying, well, the seats were given to me. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, But guess what, I'm pretty sure if you
Speaker 1: had enough money to go to that game and sit
Speaker 1: in that area, you have enough money to go bit
Speaker 1: on your own auction. Spurs fans, if you're a real
Speaker 1: Spurs fan, and I am, if you've listened to this podcast,
Speaker 1: I have been a fan of the San Antonio Spurs
Speaker 1: on my fortieth year, forty years since the age of
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you because I'm too old now,
Speaker 1: since the age of eight, I've stayed with this team
Speaker 1: through thick and thin, no matter what the record, wins,
Speaker 1: twenty one wins, big number one draft picks, partial pet
Speaker 1: draft picks. I've been through it all, and there's people
Speaker 1: that have been fans longer than I have. I remember
Speaker 1: the Hemisphere Arena days, I remember Frank Perkowski, Larry Christobiak,
Speaker 1: Alvin Robinson, Johnny Moore. Some of you guys can even
Speaker 1: go further than that, right, artist Gilmour. I remember Big
Speaker 1: a train ed Neely, Greg Cadillac Anderson, Willie Anderson, Antonio Daniels.
Speaker 1: But you have somebody like this. What more sickening about
Speaker 1: this situation is we're not going to stay long on
Speaker 1: the subject is a fast break report. But what's more
Speaker 1: sickening about it is this. You created a memory with
Speaker 1: your kid. Oh, I got the picture. I can't wait
Speaker 1: till you post it on the wall and your kid
Speaker 1: one day goes, where's that Jersey? Dad? That's what I
Speaker 1: can't wait for. I can't wait for it. I have
Speaker 1: a son that met John Cena when he was younger.
Speaker 1: Loved John Cena from the WWE. I remember we got
Speaker 1: to sit in line to wait for him before an
Speaker 1: event and there were so many people that John allowed
Speaker 1: everybody to get through to meet him. This was early
Speaker 1: in his career too. My son had a John Cena
Speaker 1: action figure that he signed, not a box. He had
Speaker 1: an open figure that was beat up because he played
Speaker 1: with it and John signed it and he looked at
Speaker 1: it and he goes, you play with us a lot,
Speaker 1: humbody and my son was like yes, and he looked
Speaker 1: at me. He goes, that's a good dad. I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not no box like half these people in line.
Speaker 1: And he giggled. And see I remember those moments and
Speaker 1: so does my son. But guess what he lost that figure?
Speaker 1: And I know he asked me, I remember that picture
Speaker 1: I took with John you still have it? I remember
Speaker 1: had the autograph figure too. He remembers the moment. So
Speaker 1: imagine this little boy remembering the moment because it's now
Speaker 1: captured on podcasts, YouTube, Well not so much TikTok anymore,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, Instagram, all the news
Speaker 1: circuits here in San Antonio. I think it's more embarrassing
Speaker 1: than anything for the kid. I know he's young and
Speaker 1: maybe he won't grow up that way. But as a
Speaker 1: father that takes his kids to probably ten games a year,
Speaker 1: costs US two hundred bucks a night, it's two thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year, you're here selling a jersey for ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. My thing is, Spurs fans, don't go out
Speaker 1: there and go and bid on this item. Don't do it,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna have some jackass that's not from San
Speaker 1: Antonio go out thing and he's gonna pay a high
Speaker 1: extravagant amount when you probably could get courtside and do it.
Speaker 1: The other sad part of this is, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: end with this, not just what the father did as
Speaker 1: a father. What oh what a M trying to keep
Speaker 1: my Christian morals here, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to got my Jesus statue right in front
Speaker 1: of me, and just I gotta take a breath because
Speaker 1: I'm a dad who puts his kids first and everything
Speaker 1: I do, and listen, maybe I'm jumping the gun. Maybe
Speaker 1: something's going on in their life where he has to
Speaker 1: sell that thing, But don't make Victor personalize it, or
Speaker 1: any athlete personalize it in your kid's name and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, go sell it. I don't even
Speaker 1: care if the kid's name is not on it. It's
Speaker 1: the moment. Those are precious moments. It was a cool picture.
Speaker 1: The kid came up to probably his thigh and they
Speaker 1: swap jerseys and j that wen be Yama got was
Speaker 1: so small, and Victor is such a cool dude that
Speaker 1: I guarantee you he has that little boy's jersey, and
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past Victor to do something for
Speaker 1: that little boy, sign that jersey. This is what I do, Victor.
Speaker 1: If you're out there listening, and I know you listen
Speaker 1: to the show, because you step up when we give
Speaker 1: you that proverbial fire, you know, this is what I
Speaker 1: would do, Victor. I'd sign that jersey that he gave you.
Speaker 1: I would put it in a glass box with laser
Speaker 1: beams all right, kind of like Inspector Gadget style mission impossible,
Speaker 1: all right, where the father has to do some flippity
Speaker 1: dippity ruse round it all right and get through it now.
Speaker 1: I would get him something nice. I would also do
Speaker 1: that one more time for him, and I would put
Speaker 1: something in writing saying it cannot be sold. Cannot be
Speaker 1: sold unless that kid turns twenty one and he wants
Speaker 1: to do something with it. Don't allow the father to
Speaker 1: sell it. What a I can't again, I can't judge.
Speaker 1: I can't Usa Usa whosa, ma'am man oh man. What
Speaker 1: an interesting turn of events with that jersey spurs fans.
Speaker 1: What do you think you would do in that situation?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty sure if say this guy came
Speaker 1: out on TV and said, Listen, the reason why I
Speaker 1: did it my family lost everything in a fire or
Speaker 1: a flood, or you know, we have an operation, my
Speaker 1: wife or my cousin or this and that. I guarantee
Speaker 1: you Wemby in them wouldn't mind that? And again, fathers,
Speaker 1: what are you thinking out there in the world? Something
Speaker 1: that makes you go hmm. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: hopefully you guys enjoyed that little bit of a Wembin Yama.
Speaker 1: Watch and let's watch some jackass go buy that jersey. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my name is so and so that's my jersey. No
Speaker 1: you didn't. You bought it for thirty thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: you took the dreams of some kids dreams and whipped
Speaker 1: him out of his heart and soul. Hey, congratulations. Who's
Speaker 1: worse than this, Spurs fans, the dad, the person that's
Speaker 1: gonna end up buying this jersey? Again, guys, thank you
