Austin Spurs’ King is the second head coach in franchise history to win the award.
SAN ANTONIO — With the NCAA Final Four descending on San Antonio, Shaquille O’Neal will also bring his podcast, “The Big Pod with Shaq,” to the Alamo City for a live broadcast.
The former San Antonio Cole High School player and his show will be in San Antonio on April 5. He’ll share stories, have giveaways, make guest appearances and offer fans a chance to win NCAA championship tickets.
The show will be at Home Room San Antonio from 1 to 5 p.m., starting at 2:30 p.m.
Tickets are $34, including one drink ticket (and complimentary Lunazul Tequila cocktails) and one meal voucher for any onsite food truck.
This will be San Antonio Spurs fans’ chance to ask Shaq why he is hyper-critical about Victor Wembanyama, his made-up beef with David Robinson, and his stories on facing the Spurs in the postseason during the height of the Spurs-Lakers rivalry.
