Universal Style co-founder and principal G. Beatriz \u201cTriz\u201d Rodriguez, Ph.D., calls the event a cultivation of civic pride and a display of home team and hometown solidarity. Which could be said for just about any Spurs mural in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe as a people, as a community, we get behind our Spurs,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cI really emphasize to the people who are doing it that you better be a Spurs fan if you want to be on my wall.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, that’s just one of many Spurs murals worth a swing-by and a social-media\u00a0shoutout. Here’s a roundup of some of the best Spurs murals around San Antonio.<\/p>\n

Fiesta and the Spurs go together like Fiesta and Amols\u2019, a family-owned party supply store with more than 70 years of papel picado, Mexican paper flowers and many other Fiesta party favors. Artists\u00a0Michael Sanchez<\/a>, J.C. G\u00f3mez-Molina<\/a> and\u00a0Bernard\u00a0Moreno Jr.<\/a> honored the Spurs\u2019 past, present and future with murals of former Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and reigning Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, bordered by the famous \u201cFiesta\u201d Spurs colors from the ’90s.<\/p>\n The faded mural from the first Black and Silver jam \u2014 the mural that will be painted over \u2014 may look more like an archaeological find these days, but it\u2019s still worth a visit if only to capture a before-and-after shot of the wall that French street artist Zeso<\/a> first helped bring to life more than a decade ago. Rodriguez also will have prints of the original wall art.<\/p>\n Another Spurs wonder wall going back to 2015, the Best Tickets mural gives the Spurs Coyote his perpetual day in the sun, courtesy fine art muralist Chris Montoya<\/a>, the same talent behind the equally long-standing\u00a0Selena mural on South Flores Street.<\/p>\n For a brief minute in his post-playing career, Spurs great Tim Duncan manned the sideline as a Spurs assistant coach during the 2019-20 season, only to leave the job in November 2020. Street art duo\u00a0Los\u00a0Otros Murals<\/a> immortalized the moment at the former Fire House Church with two Spurs men in blazers,\u00a0Popovich and Duncan, set against a ’90s Spurs color swish. Around the bend, Los Otros honored another beloved Spurs great, Manu Ginobili, in his road jersey as he exited the court during the first round of the 2018\u00a0NBA Playoffs. Ginobili announced his retirement a few months later.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Half hidden behind some trees, this Spurs mural by Bryan Mancera<\/a> shows Duncan looking up at the Silver and Black\u2019s five championship banners with current Spurs franchise star Victor\u00a0Wembanyama by his side looking up at a placeholder for number six marked \u201cNEXT CHAPTER.\u201d<\/p>\n Wembanyama looms even larger than life on this mural San Antonio artist Alan Calvo billed as the biggest\u00a0Wemby wall in San Antonio. The grayscale giant measures 16 by 30 feet and features a shouting\u00a0Wembanyama surrounded by lowrider imagery and skyline stalwarts, including the Tower of the Americas and the Tower Life Building, the latter of which will open this fall as Tower Life Residences.<\/p>\n In 2023, several area artists immortalized Wembanyama in Spurs gear\u00a0before he\u00a0even donned a jersey. One of them was mosaic artist Oscar Alvarado. He and\u00a0brother Robert Alvarado, owner of South Antonio Builders, crafted an 18-foot-tall standee of the presumptive Spurs star, which now overlooks Oscar’s sculpture garden outside his art studio.<\/p>\n Across the street from the Spurs future stands its not-so-distant past with a mural by artist Albert Gonzales<\/a> dedicated to the Spurs \u201cBig Three\u201d: Duncan,\u00a0Ginobili and Spurs point guard Tony Parker. Together, the trio won four of the Spurs\u2019 five championships.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Consider your Spurs playoffs and mural prayers answered with “Por Vida,” a 95-foot-tall depiction of a\u00a0votive candle dedicated to the team. San Antonio artist\u00a0Andy\u00a0Benavides<\/a> led a team of talents behind the downtown show shopper, which was funded by the nonprofit downtown initiative Centro San Antonio. The candle features a Spurs road jersey and the year 1973 for when the team shed its tail feathers as the Dallas Chaparrals and moved to San Antonio.<\/p>\n If you visit only one Spurs mural hotspot in San Antonio, make it the Silver and Black Valhalla at Rudy\u2019s Seafood.\u00a0Nik Soupe<\/a> of Los\u00a0Otros has covered the South Side restaurant in spray paint portraits of Spurs players past, present and even future. (Soupe did murals of both Wembanyama and Castle before each Rookie of the Year even got drafted.) There\u2019s a notable Spur for every era, from the franchise\u2019s first star,\u00a0 George \u201cThe Iceman\u201d Gervin, to the Spurs\u2019 first championship ring bearers, Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson and David Robinson, to the other big three, Duncan, Ginobili and Parker.<\/p>\n One of the newest Spurs murals highlights Dylan Harper, one of the newest Spurs additions who could bring the team a record three-peat for\u00a0NBA Rookie of the Year. The Northwest Side Filipino restaurant celebrates Harper’s own Filipino roots with a detailed work by San Antonio artist Colton Valentine<\/a>. <\/p>\n Wembanyama has graced Southtown 101 on multiple occasions, both in person and on the outside wall. Valentine did the site’s first\u00a0Wemby mural, which got a pre-draft visit by Popovich and a post-draft visit by the subject himself. Now the building bears\u00a0Calvo’s mural “Wemby in Space,”\u00a0an out-of-this-world likeness of Wembanyama among the stars holding Earth in an outstretched hand.<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Want to go<\/p>\n Your saved items will show up here!<\/p>\n Reporting by Ren\u00e9 Guzman.
