The Golden State Warriors are attempting to put their dynasty on “pause” for the 2019-2020 NBA season, as opposed to seeing its end.
If there is a franchise to emulate in any capacity, it should be the San Antonio Spurs. San Antonio has reached the playoffs a record 22 consecutive seasons, starting back in 1998 till this past postseason in 2019.
Never once did they win championships back-to-back, but they’ve remained largely competitive, becoming the status quo for a successful NBA franchise with a prowess for longevity. They’ve needed to adapt and adjust as their core got older and the game evolved simultaneously.
