John Martinez, a lifelong San Antonio resident, was at his graduation celebration dinner after receiving his Masters in Business Administration from the University of Texas San Antonio when he decided to ask for a “shoutout” from Spurs’ star Dejounte Murray. Martinez got his wish, as Murray congratulated him via his Instagram page.

I recently had the opportunity to talk to Martinez — who goes by the Twitter username @VXODinero — about the shoutout, and he admitted was having a very rough time throughout the last few weeks leading up to his graduation.
