When it comes to the San Antonio sports scene, the first thing that typically comes to mind is the Spurs. While struggling in recent years, the Spurs have been among the most storied franchises in the NBA. Our friends at BetUS offer game day odds, props and futures for the Spurs available to those in the state of Texas.
The David Robinson Era
The period 1989 through 1987 was a prosperous period for the San Antonio Spurs. Navy graduate David Robinson would sign with the team in 1989 and the rest is history.
From Wikipedia:
"While it was thought that Robinson's arrival would make the Spurs respectable again, no one expected what happened in his rookie season. Led by Robinson, 1989 draftee Sean Elliott from Arizona, and trade acquisition Terry Cummings from the Milwaukee Bucks, the Spurs achieved the biggest one-season turnaround in NBA history, finishing with a record of 56–26–vaulting from the worst record in franchise history to the best in franchise history."
Things Only Got Better With Tim Duncan
The Tim Duncan Era lasted from 1997 through 2016. During that span, the team achieved something it had never before tasted: An NBA Championship. They would go on to win five of them under Duncan's leadership.
Longest Tenured NBA Coach
Gregg Popovich is head coach and president of the Spurs. Popovich has been a member of the Spurs organization since 1994, as president of basketball operations and general manager before taking over as coach of the Spurs in 1996. He's now the longest tenured head coach in the NBA as well as in any major US sport.
