My mom recently sent me a photo of Luke Kornet. How is my mother grabbing off-court photos of the Spurs center? He was at 6:00 a.m. mass at a local Catholic church this summer, the same church my parents attend. One of the parishioners asked and Kornet respectfully complied.
For those who are unaware, Kornet is a devout Catholic. In fact, when he was with the Boston Celtics, Kornet launched a blog in which he posted about the churches he visited while traveling with the team.
During the playoffs, the Spurs
got an emotional and spiritual boost from the Saletian Sisters of St. John Bosco. There was a viral video of him being blessed before the game.
This time last year Luke Kornet was considered the steal of free agency. The 2024 NBA Champ came in to back up Victor Wembanyama and add a veteran presence to the young Spurs roster. He shined throughout the season, elevating the team and helping the Spurs get to their first Finals appearance in a dozen years.
Last week, Kornet made a phone message inviting LeBron James to consider the San Antonio Spurs as for his twenty-fourth season. If you haven’t listened to it yet, it is hilarious. Kornet really has a great sense of humor.
Today, Luke Kornet turns 31. Hopefully, he is embracing his time off, enjoying his family, and recharging for next season.
Happy birthday, Luke.
