San Antonio Spurs’ forward Keldon Johnson has already made his mark on the hardwood, but now he’s determined to make an impact off the court as well. Johnson has teamed up with local San Antonio business Beldon Roofing Company as a brand ambassador, a collaboration that has already seen the duo hosting community events like a Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, which distributed 300 turkeys to local families, and a Christmas Toy Drive that brought joy to 400 Eastside kids, according to KENS 5.
Known for its range of home improvement services, Beldon is setting its sights on the community through this partnership. They have committed to sponsor the free basketball camp run by Johnson and his brother, Kaleb, in the summer, offering local kids a chance to develop their skills on the court. The endeavors are in line with Johnson’s off-court actions, which include environmental cleanup efforts and extended support to local institutions like Lanier High School, as reported by KENS 5.
Johnson’s knack for leadership extends to the locker room, where he’s been an advocate for teammate Jeremy Sochan’s recent transition from forward to point guard. Despite the challenges this shake-up has brought to the Spurs’ lineup, Johnson remains a staunch supporter of his teammate’s potential. “We’re all behind him 100 percent. I do feel like Jeremy is more than capable of being the point guard,” Johnson told Sports Illustrated. His endorsement of Sochan’s ability to evolve into the role is a testament to the supportive culture nurtured within the team. Johnson deflected the idea of taking over as point guard himself, stating firmly, “I feel like Jeremy is the guy for the job. I feel that wholeheartedly.”
