Following the victory against the Blazers, the Spurs have a winning record against all franchises (all-time).

That's pretty amazing. Any other franchises in that category?

Nope. Well, mathematically they couldn't because they all have losing records to the Spurs.

That makes sense. I wonder if the NFL, etc have such a team.

That the Spurs waited until 2016 to take a lead over the Blazers shows how much Portland benefits from "scheduled wins" no matter how shitty their state is :lol

Basically NBA throws a B2B @Por for almost all teams on a West Coast trip, maybe even twice per season for Western conference teams..

No other franchise in North American sports can make this claim.

There is no way this could be true with any other major league franchise. It is incredible. Still - it gets lost in the shuffle due to a buck-toothed guy who ESPN likes to film while he warms up before an actual game.....:bang

I don't follow MLB at all, but maybe the Yankees? They've been dominant since the 1920's, they've had to wrack up wins against everyone else, right?

The New York Yankees have a losing record against the Philadelphia Phillies: http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/head2head.cgi?teams=NYY&from=1876&to=2015&submit=Submit

BTW next teams with winning records:
- Boston has a winning record against everybody except the Spurs (38-49) and it's worth noting they're 15-15 against the Pelicans
- the Lakers have a winning record against everybody except the Spurs (77-83) and Celtics (128-155)

That's the American League. Interleague has only been around for not even two decades I think.
