Good read. I like Blinebury's stuff in general. By the way, though, George Hill was hardly the starting PG when the Spurs traded him.
Anyway, it's truly amazing that the Spurs have been able to be this good this long.

Great article.
ESPN Crazy Stat of Day: Spurs F Tim Duncan now has more 50-win seasons (17) in his career than 26 NBA teams have total
They measure themselves not by the outcomes but the quality of the work.
We are all WITNESS to extraordinary era
It's the recognition and praise from other players and coaches and other sports that seals the deal
Paul George?
It's a joke from someone writing we traded PG instead of George Hill.
The pathetic attempt at the use of a basic analogy in sports articles these days is ing atrocious. Just don't even bother.
The only season Duncan didn't win 50 games was the strike-shortened 1999 season, when we were 37-13 and won the NBA le. That equates to 61 victories over an entire full season. Considering we started out 6-8 that year, it was a heck of a run.
A 50 win season out of 82 games equals a winning percentage of .610 or 61% of your games. Since the Spurs joined the NBA in 1976 they have had 25 50 win seasons out of 38 seasons. But they have topped the 61% winning percentage of games in 99 they were 37-13 which is a .74 winning percentage. That is equivalent to a 60-22 NBA regular season. BTW if we could count the ABA stats, you would get two more 50 win seasons.
In this era of teams moving from city to city, every 50 win season has come in the city of San Antonio.
You cannot think of the city of San Antonio without thinking of the Alamo and the Spurs, they are as much apart of the fabric of this city as the Packers are in Green Bay.
If Duncan has more 50 win seasons (16) than 26 NBA franchises, then think about how the spurs are doing as a franchise with 25 out of 38 years in the NBA.
Finally, my favorite stat. If you add the all-time total number of 50 win seasons together between the Raptors, Bobcats, Pelicans, Nets T-wolves, Clippers and Grizzlies you get 15 50 win seasons.
It's good to be a Spurs fan.
Outstanding read.
18 straight with an asterix!
Not sure how you count: nets (4), raptors (0), hornets (3), pelicans (1), t-wolves (4), clippers (3), grizzlies (4). Take out of Nets, T-Wolves or Grizz and you're good though. Wizards also have only 4.
EDIT: the Nets only have 1 in the NBA, and 3 in the ABA, which is what confused me.
