During the recent Emirates Cup Quarterfinals game, Keldon Johnson showcased his unique ambition for his NBA Cup earnings, revealing that he has his sights set on purchasing a llama for his Longhorn Ranch, located about 45 minutes from San Antonio. This tidbit was shared by Cassidy Hubbarth, who noted that Johnson already owns an impressive collection of animals, including eleven goats, four cows, two horses, a donkey, and six chickens. The ranch is managed solely by Johnson, along with the help of his family and friends, which adds a personal touch to his cowboy lifestyle.
Last night’s victory in Los Angeles brought Johnson one step closer to his llama goal, earning him $53,093. Known for his passion for the outdoors, hunting, and fishing, it’s no surprise that Johnson is eager to expand his livestock collection. He is slated to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Cup Semifinals this Saturday at 8:00 p.m., and it’s possible that by the end of the weekend, his hopes of expanding his menagerie could become a reality.
This lighthearted glimpse into Johnson’s life reflects not only his dedication to basketball but also his rural upbringing and connection to nature, embodying a blend of sports and personal passion. The Spurs community continues to rally around their team, eagerly anticipating the upcoming semifinals as Johnson chases both a trophy and a llama.
