It’s nothing new to see the San Antonio Spurs undervalued, counted out, or disrespected. Five championships over fifteen years, the longest tenured coach in the NBA, the greatest power forward to play the game of basketball found themselves with the lowest of expectations season after season.
But the franchise has not won a ring in seven years (ironically, the same amount of time between the fourth and fifth titles). The longest tenured coach is scheduled to extend his reign, but the great Tim Duncan is a thing of the past.
This version of the San Antonio Spurs has something to prove.
