San Antonio Mayor Calls out ESPN for Overlooking the Spurs ‘Big Three’

ESPN keeps forgetting the Spurs exist and San Antonio is fed up. The network asked followers which NBA ‘Big Three’ they’d choose for a playoffs run, but snubbed the Spurs. The list included the Bulls, Warriors, Heat and the current Big Three of the Nets

San Antonio’s mayor was none too pleased with his Spurs being left off the list. Mayor Ron Nirenberg voiced his displeasure over the disrespectful Spurs omission.

I know @espn didn’t leave out a Big three that won four titles together

Not sure why the Celtics aren’t on this list either.

If I’m a Celtics fan I’m pissed, but Spurs fans really have a right to be annoyed. Their big Three won more than anyone else.

This is exactly why sports debate is never-ending.
