When Blazers fans think of the San Antonio Spurs, what’s the first thing that likely comes to mind?
It might be championships, considering the Spurs have accumulated five Larry O’Brien trophies since 1999.
Or is it Gregg Popovich — who’s responsible for establishing the winning, unselfish culture that’s defined the Spurs since he became head coach in 1996?
Or maybe — for the more hard-core fans — you think of the Spurs’ beautifully synchronized and relentlessly unselfish style of play, personified by passing, defense and constant movement.
The Spurs have a clear identity: championships and unselfishness.
