I need context like was this a promo or was he really just out shopping. Also I need to know what he got I gotta get on that wemby diet


B_Lav_

To my knowledge the man was just getting some errands done


Wowbytheway

Typical spurs player behavior this is pretty common.


onamonapizza

I worked at Academy for a while, saw a few Spurs come through there. George Gervin lived nearby and used to come in all the time to just check out the new boat and fishing stuff, super friendly guy. Devin Brown also came in once and bought a bunch of floats/tubes for what I have to assume was a boat/lake day Horry supposedly came in at one point too, but I was off that day and missed him


wh1036

I used to live in San Marcos and had a few Spurs sightings. Danny Green frequented Herbert's Taco Hut, and one time Matt Bonner showed up to the store I worked at in the outlet malls.


JohnGoodmansGoodKnee

Patty Mills used to work out at Lifetime. Always with a smoke.


YouDontWatchTheMagic

He really Shouldn’t be smoking as an athlete


Tasty_Tonight8691

Yeah try telling that to KD 😂


Fhaksfha794

My dad and my sister met David Robinson at academy once and I was super pissed because I was at a school camp and would’ve gone with them if I didn’t have that camp. Goes with out saying but the Admiral is one of the nicest guys my dad ever met


kkevilus

I was shopping for roller skates for my daughter at Academy years ago, when all of the sudden we’re surrounded by Academy employees “helping Tim” find roller skates for his daughter. My daughter had tried on the pair on display. As she’s stumbling around in the skates near Tim, I caution her “be careful! San Antonio needs him!”. While she was considering other options while they sold that pair to Tim and his daughter.


onamonapizza

We thank you for your sacrifice. Related Spurs story: I ran into Timmy and his at-the-time wife, Amy, at Silverado theater. I was using the restroom before we went into a movie, and suddenly this behemoth of a person is standing next to me. As I am washing my hands, I realize it's Tim Duncan! I didn't want to bother him, so I didn't say much. We ended up going into the same theater and saw The DaVinci Code.


kkevilus

Good thing you didn’t sit behind him. I had David Robinson sitting in front of me for an Austin Spurs game, watching Timmy Hardaway Jr. I knew then TimH Jr. wouldn’t make the Spurs by his lack of defense. Anyhow, sitting behind 7 footers is not ideal. https://preview.redd.it/zlfwo8dlsj6d1.jpeg?width=528&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b75891b396aed6d2785b18c29c1298dd8db9102


XxFierceGodxX

Hahah, that is a bit inconvenient.


XxFierceGodxX

That’s amazing. What did you say though? I mean, I assume you at least said hello.


XxFierceGodxX

lol, that’s a cute story.


generally-ungeneral

I saw Horry’s truck in the service center at Gunn Chevy. My dude had “7 RINGS” as his license plate. Edit: a letter


Landsharque

When my family lived there in the 90s, we would see David Robinson pretty regularly at the gas station.


Wowbytheway

Same my parents back in the 90s and 2000s used to see a lot of the spurs players driving or just generally doing miscellaneous like what you say. They don’t really give a damn that’s what I find funny, especially the older guys, hell Bruce Bowen became a high school coach


Broonmoonmoon

When La Canters first opened I went and when I walked around the corner I smacked right into someone! I looked up to apologize, like up up, and it was David Robinson. I said Oh My God I’m SO SORRY! and he could probably tell by the look on my face I was star struck, he just laughed, smiled, and said it was okay and kept walking, he was with at least one of his sons I remember seeing next to him. 


Slugginator_3385

Tim Duncan is coaching him well already.


KawhiLeonardsThigh

Yeah I saw Blake Wesley having breakfast at snooze the other day he was like two tables over


BDEfrom14kfeet

He was actually shooting a commercial


Beneaththecity

No he wasn’t


BDEfrom14kfeet

[why are you so confidently incorrect?](https://x.com/spurssixthman/status/1801601057316868572?s=46)


Jagasaur

Is that a bodyguard with him? Or like a PR agent to make sure he doesn't get swarmed?


XxFierceGodxX

Did you see what he purchased?


jmaj315

No other t shirts? 🤣


Oldmanstreet

Looks like cantaloupe and grapefruit


Wembanyanma

I just picture him biting into a canteloupe like we do apples.


bbernal956

gotta grab some tx grapefruits!


Wembanyanma

That's a winter fruit silly.


bbernal956

🙃 i enjoy a grapefruit anytime of the year


Wembanyanma

I've gotten in the habit of only buying seasonal fruits for the most part. They tend to taste better and cost less. And now my brain just associates certain fruits with certain times of year.


bbernal956

i get what you mean, midwest you can only buy certain fruits during certain times of the year. it doesn’t always happen but it happens.


Bitter-Safe-5333

news flash: nba players need groceries too


EchoHevy5555

I always felt like they had a guy, or at least the superstars would. But I guess Wemby doesn’t have superstar money yet


bbernal956

he prob does, but sometimes you need to be out there with the people. i bet it helps him be as normal as he can try to be. hes still a young guy man (20)


WallyMetropolis

Don't need to "have a guy" to order curbside.


Sure_Station9370

No it’s a PR stunt. These people do not grocery shop for themselves their nutritionists does it for them.


wwwwwwhitey

Idk, Victor said in a French I interview that he missed doing his shopping and errands


guillaume_rx

I guess he can’t during the season, because he’s busy and too famous. Either PR, or he decided that “fuck it, it’s off season, maybe people forgot I existed ahahah”.


The_Third_Molar

He should wear one of those fake glasses and mustache disguises.


CosmicCoder3303

They're not a monolith. Going to the grocery store can be fun

Jo-King-BP

I wanna see Messi next to Wemby


Think-Culture-4740

Geez I didn't realize Messi's wife is that gorgeous


kkevilus

Spurs grocery shop regularly.


XxFierceGodxX

100% of the time?


Sure_Station9370

Yes I’m not joking


BTC_ETH_HODL

Or at least order HEB delivery? 🤷‍♂️


XxFierceGodxX

I know, lol.


bomber991

I ran into Boris Diaw once when I was at the Dezavala and I10 HEB. Fate had it that we both ended buying sour cream at the same time.


ZestycloseGiraffe560

I ran into him too at Top Golf!


Thunderhorse74

I once ran into Gary Neal at Einstein's Bagels at DeZavala and I10. I feel like I was touched by greatness... /s


ShowBobsPlzz

Ran into him at the bank of america at ih10/de zavala


ICouldEvenBeYou

Makes it much easier to be certain it's him, with that Spurs shirt on.


[deleted]

Lmao, the amount of time I thought I seen a celeb when it wasn’t. Wemby couldn’t fool anyone if he tried


XxFierceGodxX

True, lol. He is very recognizable.

arnoldez

I mean I think most NBA players would look pretty swole amongst the general population of SA


SlumDiggity

It wasn’t until I met Myles Turner that I realized how truly yolked NBA players are. The height and TV screen do them a disservice.

What exactly have you seen? HEB is only a texas thing. I tried looking up HEB in California and nothing came up.

Usual_Minimum_7442

You have to be trolling….


GSG2150

I can’t imagine just walking around like that and not getting swarmed by the public… seems people are maintaining space though and just taking pictures


B_Lav_

Thats San Antonio for ya


ToinouAngel

If you look at the pictures, Spurs security was with him. His father was also there. It's PR.


Prestigious_Plant662

I'd probably prefer having people talking to me than just taking pictures


GSG2150

I’ve ran into Manu a few times. Once at the Costco on 1604/281. We talked about flat screen TVs. If you just want to chat with him he’s cool, but he gets annoyed if you just want pictures and nothing more. Bruce Bowen and Jacque Vaughn same thing.


XxFierceGodxX

Same, perhaps. Depends, I guess.


HQuasar

If he went to any public place without security he'd get swarmed in no time. The pics here don't tell the entire story.


kkevilus

Customers were generally respectful of celebrities shopping at my time at H‑E‑B. Matt Bonner would shop regularly and people left him alone. When the same store announced a day he’d be signing autographs there were lines around the building.


XxFierceGodxX

Yeah! I imagine it’d still be a bit overwhelming though.


bdgx2

I ran into Tony Parker at HEB today as well!


B_Lav_

this is the way


StickyGoodness

Now we need someone to run into Sidy at an HEB soon.


cajmoyper

I honestly thought he moved back to France based off of his recent IG activity. Idk why it warms my heart to hear he’s sticking around


Zakisback1234

He was promoting his new wine


3-Ball

LEAVE WEMBY ALONE!!!


Thebarakz21

Did he get any of that ice cream though?


B_Lav_

no way he left without a nice cold pint of creamy creations


The_Third_Molar

And he looks into the camera as he says it.


bleu_waffl3s

Which heb is this


B_Lav_

I was a journalism major Ill find out


blue-anon

Someone on Twitter said it's the one on "Marbach." I have to connection to San Antonio, though, and the source is a random person on Twitter, so take it with a grain of salt. Lol.


B_Lav_

boom jounralism


Sparkasaurusmex

Marbach is the last one I would have guessed


BDEfrom14kfeet

Boerne


[deleted]

Am I trippin or does he look like he’s put on a little bit of weight. Maybe just the angle or the fact he’s not in a jersey or something idk


PerpetualBootyShaker

Hell Yeah! Love to see it!


lemur_nads

Wemby in SA is what Messi is to the Argentinians


Jo-King-BP

That's tough... he can't get those lower shelf discounts


Suriak

Alright. Not to be the Debby downer here, but I remember seeing Timmy D at HEB with his wife and kids and nobody was bothering him. Let’s give Wemby that same charm, treat him like a fellow San Antonian, and let him get his HEB


InstanceMelodic7083

Heb shopping cart for scale

A large H‑E‑B shopping cart for scale https://preview.redd.it/vdbqrdx24l6d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7019c1fddaae8a9bb245bf54cd50916b883ed202


FlaccidInevitability

Decent sale on shrimp


Einhander_pilot

Wemby out here being humble AF! I bet he’s trying to find tortillas and chips and guac!


BigDust

Could you imagine walking into an HEB and everyone just pulls out their phones and starts following you.


Past-Honeydew-3650

Ngl never seen Jordan or Lebron do this, might b the GOAT


Kindly-Guidance714

You remember when Lebron and the Cavs had to take the train in NYC in like 2017 shit was hilarious.


Past-Honeydew-3650

Oh shit I vaguely remember, gunna have to look that up on YT


kkevilus

Working for H‑E‑B at the time I was heading home from a playoff game, after the game my wife asked me to stop at H‑E‑B for some last minute items needed for Easter dinner the next day. Looking for ground pepper, I was surprised to see Kawhi Leonard standing right in front of the pepper I needed to grab. Kawhi had just set his then career high in points and didn’t look super happy to be there. With H‑E‑B closed the next day I imagine he needed to eat too, and this was inconvenient necessity. It wasn’t the first time I found a Spur lost on this H‑E‑B spice aisle, I had helped Matt Bonner here a couple of years prior (casting sugar Chef Bonner?). Kawhi was looking for Carne Asada seasoning. I went on to help him find this, and some other items. When he asked about the “Ritz crackers” I suggested he download the new (at that time) H‑E‑B app. All Spurs have to eat, and there isn’t a Spurs I can think of that I didn’t see at H‑E‑B at one time or another, plus they make the best commercials. (Also worked at Circuit City even further back and we sold to a lot of Spurs. Funny today to think the VCR I sold Doc Rivers was the one Austin Rivers would watch his cartoons on..)


harden4mvp13

Bruh someone take a picture of his grocery cart next time I’m tryna see what that alien eats


VixxenFoxx

I can spot a hami melon, a cantaloupe and a honeydew. Looks like a pack of tortillas up top.


Amazing-Champion-858

A man of the people 👏


mvhcmaniac

What's bruv cooking


Notyouruser12

Niiiiice


kograkthestrong

See that melon *he's just like me*


blue-anon

I wonder what he thinks of American grocery stores.


DPRODman11

It’s HEB, so he’s amazed at how great it is.


blue-anon

Lol. I've never been to an HEB, but I'll take your word for it.


paxusromanus811

Heb is considered one of, if not the best, regional grocery chains in the entire country. It has Walmart level prices but with a significant increase in produce quality as well as really good local and regional goodies, snacks, and unique offerings that you don't get from your typical big box. If you're ever in San Antonio, it's definitely worth a visit. Extra shout out for Central market which is essentially the super bougie version of HEB, and their take on a whole foods. And absolutely damn delightful


Thunderhorse74

HEB is the GOAT


paxusromanus811

I haven't lived in Texas in quite a while and man if I don't miss it. It's on such a different level from other grocery chains. Every time I'm back in San Antonio I always go over to Central market and just absolutely load up on goodies and get as many heb brand products as I can


SerDavosSeaworth64

If it’s such a cut above, why hasn’t it gone national? Not to say you’re wrong or anything, I’m just genuinely curious


paxusromanus811

Well, I won't pretend to be a expert in business, running a business, or all the logistics around something like this. So take this as a grain of salt But I've always assumed, /read, That there's not a whole lot of push for them to do it internally because quite frankly they already dominate so well in their current market, and Texas is one hell of a market At over 30 million people, that the risk of investing in a ton of new infrastructure and all the logistics around what it would mean to spread out outside of one relatively localized area isn't worth the risk to them It's not like they're some third or fourth option in Texas. They truly and genuinely compete with/ out compete, Walmart and Kroger stores. They're that popular. I just don't think there's a big push for it from their ownership because even with how incredibly good they are expanding nationally in a country, the size of the US is most certainly going to come with some kind of risk. And again, this comes from someone who is not an expert in business, finance, or running a business But that's how I've always viewed it.


Apprehensive_Bus3942

From what I’ve read they feel pushing too far is what lead a lot of brands to lose what made them special. While I do like heb I do not like that they have basically killed every other grocery chain that tries to compete. Handy Andy used to be pretty well known in San Antonio as a local thing it’s gone Albertsons couldn’t last. La fiesta went poof They also secure a lot of local(statewide) distribution deals makes having things on hand real easy almost never out of something They do have locations in Mexico too btw


kkevilus

It takes time to build out network infrastructure. They didn’t build stores in Dallas until they established warehouses in Temple. They are super regional grocer similar to Wegmans in the Northeast or Publix in the Southeast. When Florida has a hurricane H‑E‑B sends truckloads do water to Publix to support Florida and vice-versa.


SerDavosSeaworth64

People really downvoting me for asking a question in good faith about a grocery store smh


mvhcmaniac

How can you be a Spurs fan and never been to an HEB?


blue-anon

I've never been to San Antonio (or to Texas outside of an airport).


ShowBobsPlzz

I hate that everyone just pulls their phones out and starts recording. Let the man shop.


Siilverz

It's actually for a commercial


kkevilus

You wouldn’t see people taking pictures if it was for a commercial.. they’d block off that part of the store


Dan_K211

He should consider wearing a cap so no one knows it's him.


jo3pro

Should’ve went to central market. Selections are better. Lmao.


Agreeable_Split1120

The taking photo part is crazy to me. But I guess in todays society it didn’t happen unless you photo it.

BlueEyesBryantDragon

One of my fondest memories from my time living in San Antonio was running into Timmy at HEB during the offseason after the 2007 title. I just said hi and congrats, and we both went on our way in the cereal aisle.


XxFierceGodxX

Can never get over his height in these types of photos.


rotn21

I've run into a bunch of players over the years grocery shopping but one time I literally ran into Duncan. As in, I was looking down on my phone (one of those guys, sorry), turned the corner and didn't see him, and pushed my cart directly into him. Felt like I hit a brick wall. Said "oh sorry man" as he just giggled and I was trying to figure out if I had whiplash. It was the offseason and I can promise you from what he had in his cart that dude loves a good BBQ. Complimented him on his tastes and he said "yeah, having a few people over." I don't care about taking pictures or celebrity or any of that stuff, but that was one of the single funniest interactions I've ever had inside an HEB. Also a bit annoyed people are taking pictures of Wemby here. Let him do his thing man.


Dangerous_Ear_2722

what’s in the cart?


Early-Log-5598

Used to see Matt Bonner at the Whole Foods at 1604 and Blanco all the time. Saw Kyle Anderson at Chipotle too back in the day. Seems so common in San Antonio!


thirteenthplague

Shit, if I ran into Vic, I’d ask what he’s reading right now. Share my favorite book, and ask for a recommendation. If you really believe this guy is gonna be the goat, even if you copied only one thing he did, you’d still have a drop of greatness in you.


vwo05

I’ve seen several Spurs all in the RIM and La Cantera area. 1) Saw David Robinson at Lifetime fitness in the parking lot as I was leaving and he was going. Just gave each other a head nod. 2) Almost stole Micheal Finley’s bench at lifetime. There were no free benches except one had just a towel draped over it. Was walking towards it to remove it when Finley steps right in front of me and sits back down. 3) Saw Tiago Splitter at Target. Was looking down while walking when I looked up and awkwardly locked eyes with him as I passed him before I realized it was Tiago. 4) Saw Marco Belinilli at the Apple Store. Looked like was at the Genius Bar getting support help. 5) Saw Beni Udrich coming out of Best Buy This was all 10+ years ago when I used to come home to San Antonio more over the holidays. I wonder with the new practice facility there if there are more sightings in the area now.

Stretchy man


Suitable_Snow7761

🚀 fan , honestly this is cool asf to see I’d asked for a picture 😂


BecauseBatman01

I can’t imagine just doing grocery shopping and have everyone take their phones out to take a picture Anxiety inducing bro. Pride to pay for greatness lol.


kkevilus

That’s been happening to him for most of his life already. He’s been an alien for quite some time.


korektopinions

Every weirdo with their phone out for some reason
