The Spurs haven’t missed the playoffs in 21 seasons. If their postseason streak was a human, it’d be old enough to drink.
21 years of Gregg Popovich photos to celebrate 21 straight Spurs’ playoff appearances
Twenty-one seasons of greatness.
In honor of the Spurs’ consistency and greatness, we at SB Nation decided it was best to a share a montage of Gregg Popovich photos through the years. Thanks to Getty Images for the chance.
Before we begin, we must have the proper music. So everyone play this song on repeat until you have finished the montage. Thank you.
