The Spurs' majority owner is Peter Holt, managing partner of Spurs Sports & Entertainment, which also operates the team's arena, the Frost Bank Center. Last May, Viera bought a 5% stake in the Spurs for an undisclosed enterprise value. Partial team owners can get major discounts when they buy small pieces of teams that give them less control over decisions. Businessman Paul Viera is increasing his stake in the San Antonio Spurs from 5% to 11%, CNBC has learned, as NBA valuations climb and make teams more attractive assets for investors. NBA teams are hot assets thanks in large part to the league's new $76 billion, 11-year media deal.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Victor Wembanyama’s first NBA All-Star experience will be hectic, just like everything else has seemed so far in his rookie season with the San Antonio Spurs. He’s going to the Tech Summit, the league’s thinktank that kicks off the All-Star festivities on Friday morning. “Honestly, my mind has been so focused on our season that I haven’t thought about it too much,” Wembanyama said. He may play more down the stretch of the season, if the Spurs determine that’s best. “Of course, being selected as an All-Star would have been a great achievement especially in my rookie year,” Wembanyama said.

CNN —Victor Wembanyama, a 7-foot-4 Frenchman who some NBA commentators think could be a generational talent, was the No. 1 pick by the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Draft on Thursday night. “It’s a tough league,” Wembanyama told draft broadcaster ESPN through tears after he was selected. G-League player Scoot Henderson, a 6-foot-2 guard, was the third pick, going to the Portland Trail Blazers. The 6-foot-7 brothers are the first siblings to be picked in the top five (or top 10, even) of the NBA Draft in the same year.

June 21 (Reuters) - When it comes to the 2023 NBA Draft, there is Victor Wembanyama and then there is everyone else. A so-called generational talent who can quickly change the trajectory of a franchise, Wembanyama is the most anticipated and hyped NBA Draft prospect since LeBron James, the league's all-time leading scorer, in 2003. I've never seen anything quite like him on a basketball floor," ESPN basketball analyst Jay Bilas said on a conference call. The Charlotte Hornets own the second pick in the NBA Draft while the Portland Trail Blazers are set to pick third overall. There will be 58 picks across two rounds in the 2023 NBA Draft instead of the usual 60 because Philadelphia and Chicago forfeited a second-round pick due to violating rules governing free agency discussions.

Legendele nu se uită! Regretatul baschetbalist Kobe Bryant va fi inclus în Hall of Fame pe 15 mai, iar discursul de includere va fi pronunțat de nimeni altul decât Michael Jordan, un alt fost mare baschetbalist. Ceremonia urma să se desfășoarea anul trecut, însă a fost amânată cu un an. La evenimentul, care va avea loc la Uncasville, statul american Connecticut, vor participa 50 de membri ai Hall of Fame. Pe lângă Bryant, care a murit la începutul anului trecut într-un accident de elicopter, în lista gloriilor baschetului american, Hall of Fame vor fi incluși și alte staruri din NBA, Tim Duncan, cvintuplu campion cu San Antonio Spurs, şi Kevin Garnett, câştigătorul unui titlu cu Boston Celtics.
