Spoiler Alert (But Not Really)

Championship Years: A Trip Down Memory Lane (Kind Of)
Now, for those who enjoy a bit of a history lesson (or maybe want to sound smart at your next bar trivia night), here's when the Spurs painted the town red (and silver, their team colors, you see):
- 1999: They dethroned the New York Knicks in a series that had everyone saying "Yo, those Spurs are something else!"
- 2003: They schooled the New Jersey Nets, proving that schooling is cool, even in the NBA.
- 2005: The Detroit Pistons felt the sting of defeat as the Spurs claimed another championship.
- 2007: The Cleveland Cavaliers got schooled again (sorry Cavs fans, but them's the breaks).
- 2014: The Miami Heat learned that even the weather in San Antonio can get hot... championship hot, that is.
But Wait, There's More! (Because We Like to Ramble)
These championships are a testament to the Spurs' incredible coaching staff, their amazing players (we see you, Tim Duncan!), and their overall awesomeness. They're a well-oiled machine, a beautifully crafted basketball symphony, a- record scratch Okay, okay, maybe that got a little too dramatic. But you get the point!
