Why did the Spurs only win 1 championship since 2007?
They've been contenders every year since 2007, they are supposedly the GOAT organization, yet why only 1 championship in practically the last decade?

Lakers, 2008
Ray Allen, 2013
2015 Western Conference- Playing the Clippers in the 1st round was pretty unfair.

Re: Why did the Spurs only win 1 championship since 2007?
Give me one championship.
Just one.
Hell. Give me the playoffs.
You're just nitpicking at this point man. Amazing organization. 50 Wins every years. Tons of WCF's. 5/6 Finals Success rate. Come on man. They only won once since 07' because the competition was awesome, not because they lacked anything. Except maybe that memphis blunder.

What kind of question is this?
It's because they ran into superior competition.

No matter who the think the GOAT franchise is...they have gone well over 10 years without a ring. The Lakers didnt win from Mikan to 72...didnt win from 88 to 2000...and might not win again til 2026. The Celtics had a 22 year run without a ring. The Bulls didnt win till 91 and they started in the 60s. The Pistons lost for 35 years before winning. The 76ers won in 67 and 83...and never again. The Knicks have 2 in 70 years.
All that considered im not sure what the problem is here. The greatest franchise in any major american sport...would still have cold streaks. And the Spurs didnt go cold like the Celtics who were awful for years...or the Lakers who have been for years...or the Bulls and Pistons....and warriors...and Rockets...who all went bad and stayed bad for years.
In 48 years the Spurs have gone under 30 wins just 3 times. And one was as the Dallas Chaparrals in the ABA...and one was when they lost Drob and tanked for Duncan.
So I dont know who you could even be comparing them to in order to throw that "Supposedly" in there and attach it to "only" winning 2 rings in a decade.
The winningest franchise went over 20 years without a ring. The Spurs cant "only" make 3 finals and win 2 rings in a ten year period...one of them lost by a single shot?

The spurs were aging and kawhi was either too young or wasn't there at all

Because winning a championship is really hard? Most organizations would love to have 2 championships in 10 years. The Spurs have also played in a historically competetive conference. The fact remains that year in and year out they are in the mix to win a championship. They haven't had a bad season in nearly 20 years. That in and of itself is remarkable.

Thats exactly my point
The only time great organisations go into a cold streak is when they are completely rebuilding.
The Spurs have contended with 50+ win seasons every year in the last 9 years, and only won 1 ring
Thats pretty bad
Its the equivalent of the 60's Celtics only winning 1 ring with their talented roster

Re: Why did the Spurs only win 1 championship since 2007?
Its pretty weird that the Spurs only managed 1 ring since 2007
That would be like the Dynasty Celtics only managing to win 1 ring the entire 60's

Two great examples are Duncan and Kawhi who would be role players in any other system.
They also only won rings when they had lucky breaks in the playoffs.
They won 5 championships due to lucky breaks?
Also, there was no "Pop system" in Duncan's early years. Duncan was the system.

The Spurs are so lucky that they weren't in the Beastern Conference... they would not have won anything there!

Because they're terrible. Just a terrible organization that plays terrible basketball. They should all be executed.
