Popovich & Leonard Make Strong Case for Coach of the Year and MVP.

The Spurs are heading to the playoffs. Again.

For the 20th consecutive season, the Spurs will be participating in the playoffs. The last time the Spurs missed the playoffs, it was 1997. Here are some notable moments in 1997:

  • Bill Clinton was the President of the United States
  • Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear during a boxing match
  • The average price of a movie ticket was $4.59
  • Titanic broke box office records
  • Princess Diana died in a car crash in France
  • Steve Jobs returned to Apple

Fast forward 20 years later, and the Spurs are still making the playoffs.
