NBA tragically ruins Spurs' Halloween with egregious decision

Victor Wembanyama has owned Halloween for the past two years in a row. As the king of the creepy, he should have had a chance to defend his crown for the third consecutive year, but the NBA decided the San Antonio Spurs should play the night before All Hallows Eve rather than the night of. That's not good enough for the Alien. It's all or nothing, so this year, we're not getting a costume from him.

Some of you may believe that last night was close enough and he should have given us something anyway. But unfortunately, what we think doesn't matter here. Many of us know that person who doesn't want to acknowledge their birthday on the weekend if it falls on a Wednesday and won't be bothered to accept anything other than punctual holiday celebrations.

You can't convince those people to change their views. Hell, you can't really change anyone's mind on much these days, but that's a rabbit hole of a conversation that we'll stray from.

The Spurs are the most must-see team in the league

Wembanyama has completely flipped the commoner's image of this organization. He's such a unique personality that the intrigue spreads beyond the court. Whether it be his impromptu chess tournaments in a New York park, his time spent with the monks, or his home run Halloween costumes, NBA fans want to know what Vic is up to.

He was getting higher numbers in social media views than most of the superstars in the league when he was just a rookie. Now that he's out here doing 360 layups and dropping 30 points like it's nothing, that intrigue has only increased. It may be too much to ask, but just put the Spurs on every marquee slate. We'll all be better for it.

We should see the Silver and Black every October 31st, Black Friday, Christmas, and on MLK Day. I already have a job, but I could be convinced to help the league office with their scheduling problem. They're dropping the ball here.

It all could have been so simple if the league had seen fit to just place the Spurs on Halloween. It's one of the most fun holidays of the year, and we were just robbed of a bunch of it. He gave us Slenderman first and No-Face from an animated movie last year. Both passed the creepy but cool test with flying colors. We'll just have to use our imaginations on what could have been now.
