Nicknamed 'Swipa,' he led the NBA in steals in 2024 and signed a four-year, $229 million extension.

Fox is a devoted family man and anime fan — a well-known Dragon Ball Z enthusiast — married to Recee, with a son, Reign, born in 2023. His nickname 'Swipa' comes from Swiper the fox in 'Dora the Explorer,' a nod to the ball-hawking that made him a 2024 steals leader, and he built a reputation for a relentless work ethic dating to pre-dawn high-school gym sessions.
His identity is speed and clutch scoring: he's among the fastest players in the league end to end, an elite rim finisher, and the inaugural winner of the Clutch Player of the Year award. Pairing him with Wembanyama gave San Antonio a downhill, shot-creating engine to complement its generational big — the backcourt-and-frontcourt foundation of a Finals team.
A blazing-fast, clutch scoring point guard and ball-hawk — speed, finishing, and late-game nerve.
