Spurs Excellence

What an incredible run this is for the now NBA champion, San Antonio Spurs!

There has been sustained excellence for almost the entire 15 year/16 season span beginning with their first NBA championship in 1999. They have made 25 consecutive playoff appearances winning it all five times in that span.

In fact, this franchise, which was an original ABA member known as the Dallas Chapparals, has made the playoffs in its league 42 of 47 seasons. That includes 8 of 9 seasons in the ABA and 34 of 38 in the NBA.

They bounced back from the heartbreaking loss in last year’s NBA finals vs the Miami Heat. “Taking no chances” this year, San Antonio’s four wins vs the Heat in this year’s finals were by 15 points or more.
