Quick Recap of the Spurs Legendary Comeback: #nba
The Spurs have ended their longest NBA Playoff Drought in Franchise History. Talk about an NBA Comeback: They recently clinched a Playoff spot with 7 games left in the regular season, and the last time they made the playoffs was 6 seasons ago in 2019 When they lost in the 1st round after going 48-34. They are Currently 57-18.
Not counting that 6 season drought, the Spurs only missed the playoffs 4 times in franchise history since joining the NBA in 1977.
The seasons they missed the postseason were 1984, 1987, 1989, and 1997.
This was the first true Rebuild for the franchise, Yes, they always drafted their way to the top, but the concept of rebuilding is a specific term for Teams who consistently miss the playoffs.
In 2024 the Spurs went 34-48, So far this season they are 57-18, which is a win improvement of 23 games with a chance to bump this up to 30 games.
If Victor Wembanyama wins MVP this season, he will break Derrick Rose’s Record as the Youngest MVP in NBA history, and he would break Kareem’s Record for the Tallest MVP as Kareem stands at 7’2” and Wembanyama stands at roughly 7’5”

Crazy how Tim never misses the playoff
Man, imagine where they'd be without the totally legitimate draft lottery!
The comeback of Wembys hair is more impressive
Now Don’t count out the wizards and jazz reBUILD will end (2027 finalists)
At least the spurs know when to rebuild, there a team that knows how to draft.
Pistons was supposed to get wemby rig daft
seriously so cute ;-; 💜
I like the jab at the Hornets you did there.
Poor Kareem loosing all his records 😭😭
But he won’t win the mvp 🥲
Wemby also might be the first NBA MVP to average less than 30 minutes per game and still win the MVP 👽👽👽
As a spurs fan i am happy this is my happy year
The ultimate example of tanking.
Please don’t let wemby be D rose part 2
Better not break dRose record
Insane how much higher they draft than the kings. They are poster boys of luck.
He not winning mvp while the thunder still the 1st seed
That's what happens when Silver gives you a top 4 pick every year
They did not just clinch a playoff spot with 7 games left in the regular season lol.
Getting Wemby in a first rebuild is crazy
"comeback" and its just and tanking and lottery "luck"
This is why I hope NBA teams take care of their young talent rather than blowing their teams up every 3-4 years for a declining superstar. I understand it sells tickets but come on now, you’re ruining your franchise.
I need a wemby mvp but Luka needs one too
Should have used Robinson for 97 or Dominique to be funny and have another #21 player in the graphic.
How tanking ain’t so bad
1989 was the year I was born.
Wemby> SGA
WEMBANYAMAAAA
