\u201cA season to remember \ud83e\udd29 From calling 62 wins to watching this young team get all the way to the NBA Finals! Thank you to the @spurs<\/a> players, coaches & fans! I\u2019m excited to announce that I signed a multi-year extension to stay with the Spurs (on the \u26f3\ufe0f\ud83d\ude06). I love this city!\u201c<\/p>\n Tobey, who just completed his second season with the Silver & Black, replaced long-time play-by-play announcer Bill Land. Land announced his retirement ahead of the 2024-2025 season after announcing his battle with cancer. Both paired well with Spurs legend and color analyst Sean Elliott.<\/p>\n Elliott praised Tobey via social media.<\/p>\n \u201cWell deserved Strong Oak. You have grown into your role so well, and I hope you have that seat for many years to come. It is a joy working with you. Those national anthems got you the new deal BTW.\u201d<\/p>\n Elliott also referenced Tobey\u2019s multiple presentations of the national anthem, which showcased his singing talent. The Massachusetts native has been performing at multiple local venues throughout his tenure in the Alamo City and has gained quite a following for his interpretations of modern hits as well as his beautifully crafted original compositions.<\/p>\n This season, the NBA brought in national commentating teams for each round of the postseason, ending a longstanding tradition of having the local markers cover the first round of the playoffs. Tobey, undeterred, created a postgame show with the Spurs. He created a postgame show with guests to discuss the outcome of each game.<\/p>\n In addition to his Spurs duties and musical endeavors, Tobey emcees Spurs events, most recently, the NBA Cares presentation during the NBA Finals. Throughout his time in San Antonio, he has been tapped by multiple shows and podcasts to speak about the Spurs.<\/p>\n Tobey\u2019s laid an impressive foundation in broadcasting With his youth, vigor, charm, and good looks, the sky is the limit and his future remains bright. The Spurs were fortunate to have caught him on the rise, just like the core of their team. A great pairing for years to come.<\/p>\n Welcome to the Thread.
