2026年5月24日星期日，在圣安东尼奥霜冻银行中心进行的西部决赛第四场比赛中，圣安东尼奥西区的圣若望·鲍思高慈幼会修女们在圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)（7号）跑向球场时为其欢呼。
得益于“圣安东尼奥鞋匠”（San Antonio Shoemakers）赠送的一份礼物，圣若望·鲍思高慈幼会的修女们本周正以舒适与自信的步伐迈向NBA总决赛。
该公司周二透露，这些天主教修女收到了几双全新的黑色运动鞋，鞋身上似乎缝有银色缝线，以致敬她们最喜爱的球队。修女们对圣安东尼奥马刺队的狂热为她们赢得了全国瞩目——以及免费的比赛门票。
“她们的快乐、善良和精神感染了全国无数人，看到她们收获如此多的爱，我们感到无比高兴，”圣安东尼奥鞋匠在社交媒体上发帖称，“我们很荣幸能成为她们旅程中的一小部分，并祝愿她们在未来的道路上每一步都走得舒适。”
自从蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 在马刺队崭露头角的早期阶段起，修女们就一直在西区的省会修道院里为马刺队加油。她们之所以成为球迷，最初是为了与圣若望·鲍思高学校的学生们建立更紧密的联系。
尽管球迷们亲切地称这个群体为“马刺修女”，但这一称呼其实并不完全准确。在天主教会中，“隐修女”（nuns）过着专注于祈祷的隐居生活，而“修女”（sisters）则将时间奉献于社区服务。
延伸阅读： 对于这些修女来说，为圣安东尼奥马刺队加油不仅仅是一种习惯，更是她们的使命。
这就是为什么这些慈幼会修女能够亲临西部决赛第四场现场的原因。在比赛开球前，有人看到她们向虔诚的天主教徒卢克·科内特送上了祝福。除了迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 之外，这位马刺队中锋也是她们最喜爱的球员之一。
在周三的一条社交媒体帖子中，修女们分享了一段学生们身着马刺队装备并佩戴发光配件为第一场比赛做准备的视频。修女们表示，正是这些时刻，她们的使命才“鲜活了起来”。
“随着今晚总决赛第一场拉开帷幕，我们正在共同享受每一个瞬间，”她们写道，“马刺加油（Go, Spurs Go），愿上帝保佑！”

‘Spurs nuns’ step out in style with San Antonio Shoemakers
Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco on San Antonio’s West Side cheer as San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet (7) runs toward the court during Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on Sunday, May 24, 2026.
The Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco are striding into the NBA finals with comfort and confidence this week thanks to a gift from San Antonio Shoemakers.
The company revealed Tuesday that the Catholic sisters received new pairs of black sneakers, which appeared to be stitched with silver thread in honor of their favorite team. The sisters’ fervor for the San Antonio Spurs has brought them nationwide attention — and free game tickets.
“Their joy, kindness and spirit have captured hearts across the country and we couldn’t be happier to see all the love they’re receiving,” San Antonio Shoemakers said in a social media post. “We’re honored to be a small part of their journey and wish them many comfortable miles ahead.”
The sisters have been cheering on the Spurs from their provincial house on the West Side since Tim Duncan’s early days with the team. Their fandom was prompted by a desire to connect with their students at St. John Bosco.
Although fans have lovingly nicknamed the group the “Spurs nuns,” the moniker isn’t exactly accurate. In the Catholic Church, nuns live private lives focused on prayer, while sisters spend their time ministering to the community.

That’s why the Salesian Sisters were able to attend game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, where they were spotted bestowing a blessing on practicing Catholic Luke Kornet before tip-off. The Spurs center is one of their favorite players, in addition to Dylan Harper and Victor Wembanyama.
In a social media post Wednesday, the sisters shared a video of students decked out in Spurs gear and light-up accessories in preparation for game 1. It’s those times when their mission “comes to life,” the sisters said.
“As we kick off Game 1 of the Finals tonight, we’re soaking in every moment together,” they wrote. “Go, Spurs Go, and God bless!”
