The San Antonio Spurs are an American professional basketball team based in San Antonio, Texas.

The Spurs are a part of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in the NBA.
The Spurs are just one of four former American Basketball Association (ABA) teams to stay intact from the NBA following the 1976 ABA–NBA merger and the sole former ABA team to have won an NBA championship The Spurs’ five NBA championships are the fourth most in history (tied with the Golden State Warriors) behind only the Boston Celtics (17), Los Angeles Lakers (16), along with Chicago Bulls (6 ) ). The Spurs have a winning mind regular season record against every NBA franchise that is active, and now rank among active franchises to the highest winning percentage in NBA history.
In their 40 NBA seasons as 1976–77, 22 division names have been won by the Spurs. They’ve made the playoffs in 27 of their last 28 seasons (since 1989–90) and have only missed the playoffs four times since entering the NBA; they have not missed the playoffs in the 20 seasons because Tim Duncan was drafted by the Spurs in 1997. Using their 50th win in the 2016–17 season, the Spurs extended their record for most consecutive 50-win seasons to 18 (the 1998–99 season was shortened to 50 matches due to a lockout and according to their win percentage of .740, would have easily surpassed 50 wins at an 82-game season, and thus extend the album by two more seasons). Thus, since the 1997–98 season, the Spurs have had 20 consecutive seasons with a winning percentage of .610 or higher throughout the season that’s also an NBA record. The team’s achievement in that period coincides with the tenure of head coach Gregg Popovich, who had been before replacing Bob Hill in 1996 the group’s general manager.
