Listen Later

In this high-energy episode of The Sports Answer, host Rudy Campos Jr. is joined by Jeff Garcia of Locked on Spurs to dive into the latest San Antonio Spurs "chisme" (gossip). Despite sitting as the third-best team in the league with a 27-13 record, fans are starting to panic over a recent slump. Rudy and Jeff break down whether the "sky is falling," the polarizing play of De'Aaron Fox, and the impact of the grueling New Year's schedule.

Later, they tackle a "burning question" regarding Coach Gregg Popovich’s 1,390 regular-season wins. Is this an unbreakable record in sports history? The duo also compares Victor Wembanyama to Spurs legends like David Robinson and debates how "Wemby" would fare against all-time greats like Hakeem Olajuwon.


Key Discussion Points

  • The "Sky is Falling" Mentality: Why Spurs fans are worried despite the team being on pace for a 50-win season.

  • De'Aaron Fox Analysis: Is the criticism of the Spurs' second-leading scorer fair, or is he just hitting a mid-season slump?

  • The Unbreakable Record: A deep dive into Coach Pop’s win total and why modern coaching longevity makes it nearly impossible to top.

  • Era vs. Era: A fascinating comparison between the physicality of 1990s legends like "The Admiral" and "The Dream" versus the modern skill set of Wembanyama.
