In San Antonio, a unique figure has captured the hearts of Spurs fans as the NBA Finals unfold. Lilo, a 10-year-old corgi from Houston, has gained fame for her uncanny ability to predict the outcomes of basketball games, particularly during the Western Conference finals. This week, she made a special visit to San Antonio, drawing dozens of fans eager to meet the canine celebrity.

Fans gathered outside Indy Coffee on the Northwest Side, where Lilo, affectionately known online as ‘Air Corgi’ or ‘Steph Furry,’ was the star attraction. Among the crowd was Lawson and her son, who waited over an hour to catch a glimpse of the dog. ‘We have to trust in corgi, and in corgi we trust, for sure,’ Lawson remarked, reflecting the sentiment shared by many in attendance.

Lilo’s owner, Denny Ku, discovered her talent for sports predictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially engaging in trick shots, they soon realized Lilo’s knack for predicting game outcomes, which resonated with the passionate Spurs fan base. ‘Basically anyone who loves sports was like, ‘I love the dog’ or ‘I hate this dog,’’ Ku explained, highlighting the polarizing yet endearing nature of Lilo’s newfound fame.

Despite her popularity, Lilo remains blissfully unaware of her impact on the Spurs community. Ku noted, ‘She has no clue what’s going on, but she’s been loving the attention and all the luxury of feeling.’ As the Spurs prepare to face the Knicks, Lilo has already predicted a championship win for the team, further endearing her to the Silver and Black faithful.

With Game 1 set to take place at the Frost Bank Center, Ku hinted at a possible special appearance by Lilo, adding to the excitement surrounding the finals. As fans continue to rally behind their team, Lilo’s presence serves as a charming and whimsical addition to the fervor of the NBA Finals in San Antonio.
