San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are a professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas, competing in the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Founded in 1967 as the Dallas Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association (ABA), the franchise relocated to San Antonio in 1973 and joined the NBA in 1976. The Spurs are widely recognized for their sustained success, winning five NBA championships (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014) and boasting a culture of excellence defined by international scouting and player development. The team's golden era was built around the "Big Three" of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginóbili, under the guidance of legendary head coach Gregg Popovich. This dynasty set an NBA record with 22 consecutive playoff appearances. The Spurs play their home games at the Frost Bank Center and remain one of the league's most respected franchises. Currently, the organization is transitioning into a new era focused on developing young talent.

The San Antonio Spurs are currently in a rebuilding phase centered around franchise cornerstone Victor Wembanyama. Following his arrival, the team has prioritized developing its young core and establishing a defensive identity. While the recent seasons have seen the team near the bottom of the Western Conference standings, the focus has shifted toward accumulating assets and integrating high-potential players. As the roster matures, the Spurs aim to return to playoff contention, leveraging their historic culture and system to maximize the output of their rising stars.
