Tonight was awesome! (By the way it’s Thursday, Feb. 28.) The Spurs defeated the Mavs...GO SPURS GO...and were victorious thanks to Bruce Bowen’s killer defense which makes the victory ever more sweet. But more than that, was something I heard during the game that made me totally elated!

Brent Barry appears to be returning to San Antonio!

According to a report given during the game by TNT announcer Craig Sager, Steve Kerr, Phoenix Suns’ president of basketball operations and general manager, told the Arizona Republic Barry had declined the Suns offer and instead chose to return to San Antonio.

Needless to say, I was ecstatic to hear this. I immediately, well not immediately, I did wait to make sure the Spurs took care of business, but immediately after the game I checked espn.com and sure enough they, too, were reporting Barry had opted to come back to San Antonio.

I had originally intended this blog to be about why Barry was a huge asset to the Spurs and the San Antonio community. I was going to talk about all the good he and his wife have done for the city and what a huge hole he was leaving to be filled.

Now it seems I don’t have to. Barry obviously knows that he belongs here in San Antonio and I cannot wait for the 30 days to pass before he can be back in that silver and black!

Kudos to you, Mr. Barry, for not letting hurt feelings or pride get in the way of coming back home! Welcome back Brent Barry! The silver and black is where you belong!
