2026年3月12日（星期四），在圣安东尼奥霜银银行中心（Frost Bank Center）对阵丹佛掘金队的比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 在场上观望。
在周五晚上举行的俾斯麦·比永博基金会慈善晚宴上，当凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 以1.5万美元的最高出价拍下一幅由刚果年轻艺术家创作的穆罕默德·阿里画像后，他一跃而起，发出了标志性的纵情怒吼。
“凯尔登竞拍的样子就像他打球一样——激情四射且自信满满，”晚宴主持人、马刺队电视评论员雅各布·托比 (Jacob Tobey) 说道。
约翰逊流露出的情感，彰显了比永博的队友们为助力这场名为“改变生活，共筑未来”的慈善晚宴圆满成功所展现出的热情。
此次活动在希尔顿 La Cantera 度假酒店及水疗中心 Signia 酒店的 The Calera 厅举行，旨在为比永博的非营利组织筹集资金，该组织致力于缓解这位中锋饱受战火蹂躏的祖国——刚果民主共和国的疾苦。
包括维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 在内的多位球员也现身支持比永博。出席嘉宾还包括主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 及其几位助教、总经理布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright)、球队首席执行官 R.C. 布福德 (R.C. Buford)、马刺执行合伙人彼得·J·霍尔特 (Peter J. Holt) 以及马刺股东查理·阿马托 (Charlie Amato)。
文班亚马是首批到达现场的球员之一。
“实际上我并没有和维克谈过这件事，”比永博说道，“我只是在群聊里发了邀请函，他就直接过来了。他见我的第一件事就是给了我一个大大的拥抱，满脸笑容，我当时有点激动，说：‘伙计，谢谢你。’……但这就是维克，伙计。”
现场的出席情况让比永博深受感动。这位征战职业赛场15年的老将目前正处于效力马刺的第二个赛季。
“听说马刺这支球队和亲身经历它是两回事，”比永博说，“我举办过好几次这样的活动，但今晚的感觉截然不同。他们做事的方式很特别，而且他们真的会到场支持。我非常感激能成为这支球队的一员。”
33岁的比永博通过拍卖60幅画作，为基金会旗下的多项教育和青少年项目筹集资金。这些画作由刚果民主共和国戈马市基伍国际学校 (Kivu International School) 12至18岁的学生创作，该学校是由他共同创立并资助的机构。
“无论是否筹到了钱，对我来说最重要的事情是这些年轻艺术家的作品能够被他人看到，”比永博说道。
约翰逊在竞拍他赢得的第一幅画作时，出价超过了莱特。
“我知道你挣多少钱，KJ，”莱特开玩笑地对约翰逊喊道。
约翰逊最终以5200美元的价格拍下了那幅画。他随后试图竞拍另一幅画，但输给了新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)，后者的最终竞标价超过了1.1万美元。
“我得让新秀赢一次，”约翰逊说。
作为一个狂热的拳击迷，约翰逊绝不会在阿里画像的竞拍中落于人后。
“我热爱拳击，所以我肯定会在家里给这幅画留一个特别的位置，”他说。
约翰逊表示，这么多球队成员到场支持比永博，他并不感到意外。
“他在更衣室里一直是我们的模范队友和顶级领袖，”约翰逊说。
此次活动举行的24小时前，马刺队刚刚锁定了季后赛席位，这是他们自2018-19赛季以来的首次。而在周六晚上，他们还将在霜银银行中心主场迎战印第安纳步行者队。
“我们是兄弟，”约翰逊说，“这就是兄弟该做的。兄弟会互相支持。……我们是一个紧密的集体，我觉得我们不害怕展示这一点。我们只是继续表达对彼此的爱，并展示我们在场上场下是多么支持对方。”
“……我度过了一个美妙的夜晚，能够以任何方式回馈比永博和他的同胞，对我来说比世界上任何事情都更有意义。”

How the Spurs family made Bismack Biyombo’s fundraising gala a success
San Antonio Spurs center Bismack Biyombo (18) looks on during a game against the Denver Nuggets at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on Thursday, March 12, 2026.
Keldon Johnson jumped to his feet to let out one of his trademark full-throated roars after he issued the winning $15,000 bid for a painting of Muhammad Ali by a young Congolese artist at the Bismack Biyombo Foundation’s fundraising gala Friday night.
“Keldon bids like he plays - loud and proud,” the event’s emcee, Spurs TV voice Jacob Tobey, said.
Johnson’s show of emotion underscored the enthusiasm Biyombo’s teammates displayed in helping make his “Changing Lives, Building Futures Gala” a success.
Held at the The Calera at Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa, the event raised money for Bismack’s nonprofit, which helps ease suffering in the center’s war-ravaged home country, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Several other players, including Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, showed up to support Biyombo. Others in attendance included coach Mitch Johnson and several of his assistants, general manager Brian Wright, franchise CEO R.C. Buford, Spurs managing partner Peter J. Holt and Spurs shareholder Charlie Amato.
Wembanayama was one of the first players to arrive.
“I actually did not speak to Vic about this,” Biyombo said. "I just sent (invitations out) in a group text message, and he just showed up. And the first thing he did was give me this big hug, a full of smile, and I got somewhat emotional and said, “Man, thank you.’ … But that’s who Vic is, man.”
The turnout touched Biyombo, a 15th-year pro in his second season with the Spurs.
“It’s a different thing when you hear about the Spurs organization and when you experience it,” Biyombo said. “I’ve done this event quite a few times, but it’s just different tonight. They do things different and they show up. I’m extremely grateful to be part of the organization.”
Biyombo, 33, raised money for his foundation’s numerous education- and youth-focused initiatives by auctioning off 60 paintings by students ages 12-18 from the Kivu International School in Goma, DR Congo, an institution he co-founded and helps fund.
“Whether money was raised or not, to me the most important thing was these young artists were able to have their paintings seen by other people,” Biyombo said.
Keldon Johnson outbid Wright for the first painting he won.
“I know how much you make, KJ,” Wright playfully shouted at Johnson.
Johnson eventually landed the painting with a bid of $5,200. He tried to win another painting but lost out to rookie guard Dylan Harper, who issued a winning bid of more than $11,000.
“I had to let the rookie win one,” Johnson said.
An avid boxing fan, Johnson wasn’t going to be outbid for the Ali painting.
“I love boxing, so I definitely have a special place for it in my house,” he said.
Johnson said he wasn’t surprised that so many members of the team showed up to support Biyombo.
“He’s been the ultimate teammate, the ultimate leader for us in the locker room,” Johnson said.
The event came 24 hours after the Spurs clinched a playoff berth, their first since the 2018-19 season, and the day before they hosted Indiana on Saturday night at the Frost Bank Center.
“We’re brothers,” Johnson said. "And this is what brothers do. Brothers show up for each other. … We’re a close-knit group and I feel like we’re not afraid to show that. We just continue to show our love for each other and show how much we support each other - on and off the court.
“…I had a wonderful night, and being able to give back in any way I can for Bis and his people means more than anything in the world to me.”
