Every year, March Madness takes over the basketball world for a month. For one month out of the year, college basketball takes center stage as the NBA sits back and gets ready for the playoffs. And though the star of the show, Victor Wembanyama, never got the chance to experience it, the San Antonio Spurs have plenty of players who played in the tournament of all tournaments.
One of those guys is veteran guard Devonte’ Graham, who played for the Kansas Jayhawks for four years from 2014 to 2018. Not only that, but Graham even got a chance to play in San Antonio during March Madness in 2018.
Graham recently reflected on his experience. (H/t Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News)
“Besides getting whooped by Villanova, I had a great time,” Graham said. “My family was here. It was my first time going to the River Walk. The whole Final Four experience, the week heading into it, all the festivities, it was great.”
Five years prior to his time with the Spurs, Graham got familiar with San Antonio. Unfortunately, as he mentioned, Kansas lost in the Final Four to Villanova.
