More appearances in Conference Finals than any other team since 1999.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

The Spurs have appeared in the conference finals eight times since 1999. (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013)

Even the Lakers have only appeared in the conference finals seven times during that same timeframe.




Footnote: To be fair, the Lakers did appear in the WCF in 1998.

Meaningless stat

It's not a meaningless stat. About 29 other teams/fans in the league would probably be ecstatic if they simply made it to the conference finals. See Grizzlies fans, whose team is there for the first time.

While certainly less meaningful than titles, it's definitely a symbol of incredible prolonged success for a single team.

Spurfans are spoiled as fuck.

I think the OP was just being informative. Calm the fuck down pussies.

You pretty much know nothing about basketball if such consistency means nothing.
It means that Spurs have had probably the best 15 years they would ever have as a franchise.

Should be noted that every time the Lakers made the Conference Finals, they made the Finals right after.

That's true, the Lakers are 7-0 in WCFs since 2000.

Thanks for reminding us how much it sucks to be a Mavs fan.

[LarryDavid]

Doesn't matter unless they ring this year. Otherwise the Spurs are only .500 in WCF in the Duncan/Popovich era.

[aal04]

to be honest its a bit of an embarrassment knowing youve reached the PO more than any other tteam in that timeframe

[Blue Duck]

That stat is not meaningless at all, its huge, especially considering the western cobference superiority over the east in that time frame.

:lol spoiled, entitled Spurs fans

DUNCAN/POPOVICH : 4-0 100% in the NBA finals 10X more amazing

[crc21209]

Meaningless? That's a pretty damn impressive stat if you ask me. If you grew up watching the Spurs in the early 90's you would understand why some of us around here enjoy all of this success so much right now while we can...:lol

Should be noted that every time SA made the Finals, we won. Lakers didn't do that, losing twice.

Exactly. I grew up a Houston football fan. I don't have to say much more.

Perhaps all these fans who think the WCF doesn't mean shit should talk to these fans (http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/WAS/) and these fans (http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/ATL/) and give them their sob story about how bad it sucks to make it only make it that far.

That stat could be going away soon, but 80% isnt bad

The Spurs also have the most conference finals losses.

I agree with you fully here spoiled fans! They have had a loooooooooooooooooooong run! You should appreciate it more. Meaningless stat? They got 4 titles out of it so far! GOOD LORD if they won one or hell even one it's meaningless like Mcnabbs 5! THEY WON 4 rings! How is this a meaningless stat you clowns?
