2026年5月20日星期三，在俄克拉荷马城佩科姆中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队电台解说员丹·魏斯（Dan Weiss，右）采访马刺电视现场解说员雅各布·托贝（Jacob Tobey）。当时球队正准备迎接与俄克拉荷马雷霆队的西部决赛第二场比赛。
俄克拉荷马城——去年夏天，当马刺队选择丹·魏斯 (Dan Weiss) 接替比尔·舍宁 (Bill Schoening) 担任球队电台现场解说员时，他感到无比兴奋。
“这是梦想成真，不是吗？”他说。
但这份工作并非没有压力。
作为队史上仅有的第六位电台解说员，以及接替了在该岗位坚守24年、见证了四次NBA夺冠历程的舍宁的人，每当魏斯坐到麦克风前，他都能感受到历史的厚重感。
“你接手的是一个像比尔·舍宁这样备受尊敬的人所担任的职位，他在过去20多年里以如此优雅和卓越的方式完成了这项工作，所以你必须努力保持这种卓越的标准，”魏斯说道。他补充说，自己深知为马刺队解说比赛的人屈指可数，其中包括泰里·斯特姆布里奇 (Terry Stembridge)，他曾连续解说了1252场达拉斯矮树丛/马刺队的比赛，并在该岗位上坚守了15年。
在斯特姆布里奇和连续解说了2280场比赛的舍宁之间，解说员还包括杰伊·霍华德 (Jay Howard)，他在1999年解说了球队夺得的首个NBA总冠军。
马刺队的凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在第五场比赛前表示：“这就是本赛季最重要的一场比赛，就在今晚。… 这将是一场恶战。过程会很艰难。但我感觉我们就是为这一刻而生的，我们就是为这些时刻而生的，我觉得我们今晚会证明这一点。” pic.twitter.com/bSded5rcDg

“这是一个很高的标准，”46岁的魏斯在谈到前任们的工作时说道。“所以首先，你想达到已经树立的水平和标准，但与此同时，你也要打上自己的烙印，展现自己的风格。”
这正是他一生对数字的热爱发挥作用的地方。
这位出生于马萨诸塞州威斯顿、毕业于东北大学的解说员在2010年代末开始参与马刺队的电视转播工作。当时，他一直在寻找一种方法，既能在节目中留下自己的印记，又能在与前马刺神射手马特·邦纳 (Matt Bonner) 搭档担任演播室分析师时相得益彰。
“我最初的想法是，好吧，马特·邦纳赢过NBA总冠军，他是顶尖的NBA球员，”魏斯说。“他能真正讲出比赛的细微之处。而我的篮球生涯最高只到高中篮球，所以如果我去对NBA比赛中场上发生的事情指点江山，多少会显得缺乏说服力。”
“所以我必须找到自己的定位，我想可以这么说。我该如何在这档广播中发表自己的见解，同时又显得我很专业？‘Danalytics（丹数据）’就是这样诞生的。我基本上成功地将自己对数字的热爱与比赛结合了起来。我们在演播室的制作人想出了‘Danalytics’这个词，然后它就火了。”
2022年2月，马刺电视解说员比尔·兰德 (Bill Land，前) 和丹·魏斯在AT&T中心球馆的转播团队移动播音台工作。
在他将这些宝贵的统计数据穿插到解说中的同时，他也会通过X（前推特）账号 @DanWeissPBP 在社交媒体上分享，并带上标签 #danalytics。
在马刺队以103-82大胜俄克拉荷马城的西部决赛第四场比赛中，魏斯抛出了几个引人入胜的数据，其中一个在开局阶段就展现了马刺队对两届常规赛MVP谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 的防守有多么出色：“首节12分钟过后，马刺31-26领先。SGA单节一分未得，这仅是他本赛季第6次单节得分挂零。这也是自2021年11月以来，在他出场时间达到8分钟以上的单节比赛中，仅有的第2次得分挂零。”
他还指出：“马刺在第一节投进10个运动战进球，送出10次助攻。这是本赛季第四次单节助攻率达到100%。”
赛后，魏斯发推特称，马刺队“打出了每48分钟101.5个回合的节奏，为系列赛最快。在今年季后赛中，当节奏快于98个回合时，马刺的战绩为7胜1负。”
魏斯还提供了一些历史趣闻，这有助于人们更直观地理解马刺超级巨星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的伟大。
“文班亚马是季后赛历史上砍下30分20篮板第二年轻的球员，仅次于曾两次做到这一点的摩西·马龙 (Moses Malone)，”在这位22岁的法国新星在第一场比赛中砍下41分24篮板、帮助马刺以122-115双加时险胜后，魏斯发推特提到了这位前ABA/NBA巨星。
这些优质的内容也得到了其他媒体同行的赞赏。
“我是听着收音机里的棒球和篮球比赛长大的，所以我一直很喜欢数据分析，而丹通过‘Danalytics’为我找回了那种感觉，”长期报道圣安东尼奥体育的新闻记者、美联社驻马刺记者劳尔·多明格斯 (Raul Dominguez) 说道。“有时它只是一个常规的统计数据或事实，但更多时候，丹会深入挖掘历史或一些意想不到的事实。我体内的‘数据狂热’让我对这些发布的内容欲罢不能，因为它丰富了比赛，也展现了丹对保留历史的热爱。”
长期担任WOAI电视台体育主播的唐·哈里斯 (Don Harris) 称魏斯对数字的热爱既长知识又有趣。
“我总是对数据分析持保留态度。也就是说，数字并不总是能说明全部情况，但往往能说明很多问题。丹让这变得很有趣，”哈里斯说。“前几天晚上我正在收听节目，他告诉我们马刺队当晚将穿哪套球衣，并详细分析了马刺队在常规赛和季后赛中穿着这些球衣时的胜负记录。我完全不知道他是怎么知道这些的，但他们赢了62场比赛，所以他们穿每套球衣都赢了很多场。球衣真的重要吗？他至少让我开始思考这个问题了。”
魏斯很高兴“Danalytics”成为了同行们的一种资源。
“我们都在同一个团队中，”他说。“我们的工作就是努力让彼此变得更好，因为我们都想产出市面上最好的内容。”
魏斯于2009年加入马刺队组织，担任圣安东尼奥狂暴队（San Antonio Rampage，冰球队）的现场解说员，并一直担任该职位至2018年。在此期间，他还协助了发展联盟奥斯汀马刺队和WNBA圣安东尼奥银星队（San Antonio Stars）的转播工作。
无论扮演什么角色，他总能为自己的工作带来高度的专业精神。
“我一直认为我必须为听众描绘出一幅画面，所以我想就像任何电台解说员会说的那样，这关乎准备得极其充分、提供额外的细节，并且绝不漏掉任何一个瞬间，”他说。
尽管这份工作需要熬夜且面临高强度的差旅需求，魏斯仍努力平衡工作与家庭生活。他和妻子劳伦 (Lauren) 将在今年7月庆祝结婚20周年纪念日，他们育有两个孩子：12岁的艾米丽 (Emily) 和10岁的伊桑 (Ethan)。
“随着孩子们渐渐长大，他们参加了更多的活动和体育运动，你会尽一切可能挤出时间，花上几个小时去参加他们的活动或比赛，不管那是什么，”他说。“这很重要。工作与生活的平衡是人们经常谈论的话题，但在我们这一代人中，绝对更加强调在赛季期间尽可能多地参与到家庭生活之中。”
对于这位NBA菜鸟现场解说员来说，这确实是一个非凡的赛季。
“球队让这一切变得如此轻松，”魏斯说。“赢下了62场比赛并打进西部决赛，你只需要坐下来，尽情享受这段旅程。”

Danalytics: How Dan Weiss brings new spin to Spurs radio broadcasts
San Antonio Spurs radio voice Dan Weiss, right, interviews Spurs TV play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Wednesday, May 20, 2026, as the team prepares for Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Dan Weiss was thrilled when the Spurs picked him last summer to succeed Bill Schoening as their radio play-by-play announcer.
“It’s a dream come true, right?” he said.
But the job isn’t without its pressures.
As only the sixth radio voice in franchise history and successor to a man, Bill Schoening, who filled the role for 24 years and covered four NBA championship runs, Weiss feels the weight of history whenever he gets behind the microphone.
“You come into a position that’s been held by someone of such great esteem as Bill Schoening, who did it with such class and excellence for the last 20-plus years, so you’re trying to maintain the standard of excellence,” said Weiss, who added he was well aware of how few people have called games for the Spurs, a list that includes Terry Stembridge, who broadcast 1,252 consecutive Dallas Chaparrals/Spurs games and had the gig for 15 years.
The voices in the span between Stembridge and Schoening, who called 2,280 games in a row, included that of Jay Howard, who broadcast the team’s first NBA title in 1999.
Spurs’ Keldon Johnson ahead of Game 5: "This is the biggest game of the season, right here tonight. … It’s going to be a dog fight. It’s going to be tough. But I feel like we’re built for the moment, we’re built for these times, and I feel like we’ll show it tonight.” pic.twitter.com/bSded5rcDg

“It’s a high bar,” Weiss, 46, said of his predecessors’ work. “And so the first thing is you want to match the level and the standard that’s been set, but then at the same time, you’re also putting your own imprint and your own stance on it as well.”
That’s where his lifelong love of numbers comes in.
When the native of Weston, Mass., and graduate of Northeastern University started working on the Spurs TV broadcasts in the late 2010s, he searched for a way to put his mark on the show while complementing the work of former Spurs sharpshooter Matt Bonner when they were paired in the studio as analysts.
“My initial thought was, well, Matt Bonner’s won NBA championships, he’s an elite NBA player,” Weiss said. "He could actually speak to the nuances of the game. The extent of my basketball career was high school basketball, so that kind of takes a little bit of my credibility away for going out and talking about what’s happening out on the floor during an NBA game.
“So I kind of had to find my own, I guess, niche was the way to put it. How am I going to add my two cents to this broadcast but make it seem like I know what I’m talking about? That’s kind of how ‘Danalytics’ were born. I was basically able to match my love of numbers for the game. Our producer at the studio kind of came up with the term ‘Danalystics’ and it kind of took off.”
Spurs TV announcers Bill Land, front, and Dan Weiss work from the broadcast team’s mobile broadcast set-up at the AT&T Center in February 2022.
As he sprinkles his statistical nuggets into his broadcasts, he shares them on social media via X (formerly Twitter) at @DanWeissPBP with the hashtag, #danalytics.
During the Spurs’ 103-82 pounding of Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals, Weiss tossed out several intriguing stats, including one that illustrated early on just how well the Spurs were playing defensively against two-time league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: “Spurs up 31-26 after 12 minutes. SGA goes scoreless for only the 6th time in a quarter this season. Only the 2nd scoreless quarter in which he’s played 8+ minutes since Nov. 2021.”
He also noted “10 assists on 10 field goals for the Spurs in that first quarter. Fourth time this season with a 100% assist rate in a quarter.”
After the game, Weiss tweeted the Spurs played “at a pace of 101.5 possessions/48 minutes, fastest of the series. 7-1 in these playoffs when playing faster than 98 possessions.”
Weiss also offers historical tidbits, which help put Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama’s greatness into perspective.
“Victor Wembanyama is the 2nd youngest player with a 30-point, 20-rebound playoff game behind Moses Malone who did it twice,” Weiss tweeted in reference to a former ABA/NBA star after the 22-year-old Frenchman’s 41-point, 24-rebound effort in the Spurs’ 122-115 double-overtime victory in Game 1.
It’s good stuff that others in the media appreciate.
“I grew up listening to baseball and basketball games on the radio, so I always enjoyed statistical analysis, and Dan brings that back for me with Danalytics,” said longtime San Antonio sports reporter Raul Dominguez, who covers the Spurs as a correspondent for The Associated Press. “At times it’s a routine statistic or fact, but more often Dan has a deeper dive into history or some unexpected fact. The nerd in me devours those posts because it enhances the game and shows Dan’s love for preserving history.”
Longtime WOAI-TV sports anchor Don Harris called Weiss’ love for numbers informative and entertaining.
“I always take analytics with a grain of salt. Meaning numbers don’t always tell the full story, but often they do. Dan makes it fun,” Harris said. “The other night I was listening and he told us what uniforms the Spurs were going to be in that night and he had a full breakdown of the Spurs’ win-loss record while wearing those jerseys both in the regular season and in the playoffs. How he knows that I have no idea, but they won 62 games so they won a lot in every uniform. Does the uniform matter? He at least made me think about it.”
Weiss is happy Danalytics has become a resource for some of his peers.
“We’re all on the same team,” he said. “We’re all in the business of trying to make each other better because we all want to produce the best product that’s out there.”
Weiss joined the Spurs organization in 2009 as the play-by-play voice of the San Antonio Rampage hockey team, a role he held until 2018. During that period, he also helped out with broadcasts for the G League Austin Spurs and the WNBA San Antonio Stars.
No matter his role, he always brings a high level of professionalism to his work.
“I’m always of the mind that I really have to paint a picture for the listeners, so I think like any radio guy would say, it’s about being overly prepared, giving additional detail, kind of never missing a moment,” he said.
Despite the late nights and intense travel demands of the job, Weiss strives to balance his work with his family life. He and his wife Lauren will celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in July and have two children, Emily, 12, and Ethan, 10.
“As the kids have gotten older and they do more activities and sports, you try to find whatever time you can to take a couple of hours to go to an event or a game or whatever it may be,” he said. “That’s important. Work-life (balance) is something that’s always talked about, but there’s definitely more of an emphasis in our generation on wanting to be as much a part of our family’s lives as we can during the course of the season.”
And what a season it’s been for the NBA rookie play-by-play man.
“The team makes it so easy,” Weiss said. “Winning 62 games and getting to the Western Conference finals, you’re just kind of sitting back and enjoying the ride.”
