马刺队结束了简短的三场客场之旅回到主场。周一晚上，马刺队将在主场迎战费城76人队，这场比赛的主题是推广原住民遗产文化。
代表凯奥瓦 (Kiowa) 和切罗基 (Cherokee) 部族的马刺得分后卫林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)，与来自马萨诸塞州马什皮万帕诺亚格 (Mashpee Wampanoag) 部族的雅各布·托比 (Jacob Tobey) 携手马刺队，通过“像我一样神圣 (Sacred Like Me)”活动提升大众的认知。
这一晚充满了特别活动，包括土地确认仪式、资助金发放以及赛间表演。
马刺现场播报员雅各布·托比将演唱国歌。
托比目前正处于为马刺效力的第二年，他已经将圣安东尼奥视为自己的家。除了全职工作外，这位萨福克大学 (Suffolk University) 的校友还热衷于参与当地的音乐表演。
人们经常能看到他背着吉他在圣安东尼奥各处弹唱热门歌曲和乐迷喜爱的作品。去年三月，当马刺在州首府奥斯汀举办两场“牛仔客场之旅 (Rodeo Road Trip)”比赛期间，他在比赛间隙的休息之夜受邀前往奥斯汀演出。前往奥斯汀的“马刺胡狼 (Spurs Jackals)”球迷会成员在那个周五晚上也出现在观众席中为他加油。
托比的演出涵盖了许多现代前40名的热门金曲，但真正展现他天赋的是他的原创作品。
他最近创作了一首关于将德克萨斯州作为新家的歌曲。
他在四月份有几场圣安东尼奥的演出。11号，他将在 Elsewhere Too 演出，那是他经常光顾的场地。随后在当周的16号，他将前往 Smash’d，那是另一个支持托比音乐激情的打卡胜地。
我问他在马刺队进入季后赛的情况下预订演出有多难。他承认，由于季后赛临近，他现在必须进行战略性的规划。
托比分享道，在身为现场播报员这一梦想职业的高要求下，寻找创作与表演之间的平衡并非易事，但随着他在圈内音乐知名度的提升，演出场地也会配合他的时间。他计划在休赛期录制自己的原创音乐，以备日后发布。
如果你不是当地居民，也不必担心，托比经常会通过他的 Instagram 页面直播部分演出内容。

Open Thread: Play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey to present National Anthem as Spurs celebrate Native American Heritage Night
The Spurs have return home from a short three-game road trip. On Monday night, the Spurs host the Philadelphia 76ers in a game that is promoting Native American Heritage.
Spurs shooting guard Lindy Waters III representing Kiowa and Cherokee-American tribes and Jacob Tobey, Mashpee Wampanoag of Massachusetts, have teamed up with the Spurs to bring awareness through “Sacred Like Me.”
The evening is filled with special events including a land acknowledgement ceremony, grants, and in-game performances.
Spurs play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey will perform the national anthem.
Tobey, now in his second year with the Spurs, has embraced San Antonio as his home. In addition to his full-time job, the Suffolk University alum enjoys performing as part of the local music scene.
He can often be seen throughout San Antonio with his guitar playing hit songs and fan favorites. Last march, he was asked to perform in Austin on the night off between games when the Spurs hosted two Rodeo Road Trip games in the state capital. The Spurs Jackals who made the trip to Austin cheered him on as part of the audience on that Friday evening.
Tobey’s gigs incorporate a lot of modern top 40 favorites, but it is his original compositions that truly showcase his gift.
He recently penned a song about making Texas his new home.
He has some San Antonio shows in April. On the 11th, he’ll be performing at Elsewhere Too, a venue he’s returned to regularly. Later that week on the 16th he’ll be at Smash’d, another hot spot promoting Tobey’s passion.
I asked him how hard it was to book shows with the Spurs entering the playoffs. He admitted he had to plan strategically now that the postseason was imminent.
Tobey shared that finding the balance for writing and performing can be difficult with the demands of his dream career as play-by-play announcer, but venues work with him as the demand for his music grows within the scene. He plans on recording his original music during the offseason for an upcoming release.
If you are not a local patron, fear not, Tobey often livestreams a portion of his performances through his Instagram page.
