It’s no secret that most of the San Antonio population is deeply devoted to the Spurs.

Pride for the beloved NBA team is visible all over the city in the form of car flags, t-shirts, billboards, hats, and other items, but the newest form of public Spurs admiration is in the an impressive, 16×16 ft. mural in Travis Park.

The interactive, silver and black mural – standing on the North end of the park – was officially unveiled on Thursday afternoon with a small ceremony complete with an appearance by Councilman Roberto Treviño (D1), the Spurs Silver Dancers and the local artists of the project, Nik Soupé and Shek Vega.

“It’s one of those murals where you can pose in front of it,” Soupé told The Rivard Report before the ceremony. “There’s a hoop on one side, and of course a “Go Spurs Go” on the bottom, and in the center we have a floating ball so if you stand on one side it looks like you’re shooting the ball.”
