There comes a time where all athletes have to hang up their sneakers for one last time, or their custome in this case.
According to BleacherReport.com, Rob Wilcall had been a part of the Spurs for almost 20 years but father time has caught up with him. Rob wears the team’s mascot uniform which is known as Coyote. Rob shared with ESPN one of his most memorable moments.
Coyote was often asked to show up funerals but often declined. He did choose to show up for one wake just to say he had done it all.
“The guy was a huge Spurs fan and his family had a big photo of him in Spurs gear. I just held up the big photo of the deceased and people took photos of me holding that photo. It was so awkward.”
Now that Coyote is gone, I wonder if Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili or even if coach Gregg Popovich will follow.
