The Spurs and Bulls are the only teams to have perfect records in multiple Final series. The Spurs have the third highest wining percentage for active franchises in NBA history. Since joining the NBA they have missed the playoffs just four times.

Since 1976-1977, in San Antonio's 33 seasons playing in the NBA, the Spurs have won 17 division titles, the most in the NBA during that span of 33 years. The Lakers have won the second most with 16. Over the past 20 seasons the Spurs have made it into the playoffs 19 times. Since 1997 when Tim Duncan became a member of the Spurs, San Antonio hasn't missed the playoffs over 13 seasons.
