San Antonio’s largest Spurs mural celebrates head coach Mitch Johnson.
SAN ANTONIO — If you want to visit San Antonio Spurs murals, you can drive anywhere in the city and likely find one. However, if there’s a must-see mural for all Silver and Black fans, it’s the city’s largest one on the Southside at Rudy’s Seafood.
There, you’ll find murals honoring David Robinson, Gregg Popovich, Manu Ginobili, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, and Victor Wembanyama, among others, scattered throughout the popular seafood spot.
Now, fans can go there to see the newest addition to the massive mural: Head coach Mitch Johnson.
San Antonio artist Nik Soupe has been hard at work creating the Johnson mural at Rudy’s Seafood Restaurant.
The mural is a black-and-white portrait of Johnson, featuring the team’s primary logo beside him and his name in the retro Fiesta colors. The new mural joins others at Rudy’s Seafood, marking Johnson’s official fan-mural welcome to San Antonio.
The head coach certainly deserves the honor.
In his first season as the full-time coach, he has guided the Spurs to the second-best record in the West, earned an NBA All-Star coach selection, is considered a strong candidate for the 2025-26 NBA Coach of the Year, and has the team on a nine-game winning streak.
He has earned the team’s trust, buys into his on-court vision, and keeps a level head regardless of the game’s outcome.
Other murals have been popping up in San Antonio, including one honoring rookie Dylan Harper’s Filipino roots.
San Antonio artist Colton Valentine created the Harper mural at Filipino restaurant Sari Sari San Antonio. The mural features Harper in a white Association Spurs jersey, with the Filipino flag in the background.
And in case you missed it, rookie Carter Bryant also recently had his mural added to Rudy’s Seafood.
For a player and now coach, receiving his own San Antonio mural is a badge of honor. It means the community accepts them and feels they are part of the community.
You can visit the new mural at 4122 S. Flores St., 78214.
