What the San Antonio Spurs are getting by re-signing Charles Bassey

San Antonio Spurs backup big man Charles Bassey has a basketball origin story you usually only see in the movies. Found in his native Nigeria literally on the side of the road selling food to make a living while standing 6-foot-10 as a 14-year-old, Bassey was discovered and shuttled in the direction of an NBA prospect, grinding his way into the league.

But he has not had a smooth path to get there, and injuries piling up for the Lagos native could have ended that effort. But the Spurs believe in his potential, and brought him back to play on a new contract for the 2024-25 NBA season.

What does he need to work on? What can he bring to the team now? The folks behind the San Antonio Spurs official YouTube channel put together a video showing his best play with San Antonio last season. Take a look at the clip embedded below to see it for yourself!
