San Antonio Spurs 2024-25 NBA Championship Betting
From 1990 through 2019, the San Antonio Spurs made the NBA Playoffs every season but once (1997). When Greg Popovich took over as head coach in the 1997-98 season, the Spurs began a run of playoff appearances that included five NBA championships. But since 2019-20, the Spurs failed to qualify for the postseason or post a winning record. As the years progressed, San Antonio and Popovich became a shell of their former selves. An offseason of uncertainty begins for what was once the crown jewel franchise of the NBA.

San Antonio Spurs History
The San Antonio Spurs were one of the four ABA franchises that joined the NBA in 1976. This team originally played in another part of the Lone Star State, though, as the Spurs were originally called the Dallas Chaparrals. However, they were not very popular in Dallas, and after stints in Fort Worth and Lubbock, the franchise moved to San Antonio and became the Spurs in 1973.
They were much more popular as the lone pro sports team in San Antonio. The Spurs were able to land their first superstar the same season they moved to their new home, too, when they acquired George ‘Iceman’ Gervin from the Virginia Squires.
Unfortunately, despite a lot of success and postseason appearances, the Spurs were not able to win their first championship until they had another superstar.
David ‘The Admiral’ Robinson was one of the best centers in the NBA during the 1990s, but the Spurs became a dynasty when Gregg Popovich took over the team and was able to select Tim Duncan as the No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. The Spurs had won 20 games the previous year, but they were a 56-win team in Duncan’s first season alongside Robinson, and this team went on to win its first title during the strike-shortened 1998-99 season.
Robinson was still with the team when it won its second title in 2003, but he had been surpassed by youngsters Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker made San Antonio the most successful team in the league for two decades, as the Spurs went on to win five NBA titles and made the postseason for 22 consecutive seasons.
