For 30 years, the San Antonio Spurs were one of the best teams in professional basketball. Led by Gregg Popovich, the Spurs set incredibly high standards, very often surpassed those, and set new, more ambitious standards. They drafted five Hall of Fame basketball players, won Championships in three different decades, and set countless records across an unprecedented run from 1989-2018.

As their competition fell, history became the greatest adversary the Spurs faced, and like all great dynasties of history, they eventually fell too. When the Spurs Dynasty fell, it was one of the most bizarre stories in the 75-year history of professional basketball. An undiagnosable injury led to breakdowns in trust, new apparel contracts, players-only meetings, relationship fallouts, and so much more. The fallout then takes the story on an unexpected detour from Texas to Canada.

In the end, despite sustaining success for an unprecedented 30 years, the Spurs Dynasty fell 10 years sooner than it could have.

This is their story: The most successful dynasty in North American professional sports.
