Doc Rivers says the Spurs future is bright, but there’s no guarantees:
“I always go back to when Miami beat Oklahoma City. I remember Mike Breen saying on the air, “Well, Oklahoma City will be here every year.” It took them 20 years to get back. You know, you just can’t, you can never take things for granted. With trades, free agency, injuries, and I always use the band theories, you know, why aren’t there great bands that last forever because somebody gets jealous, somebody wants to be the man, and things change.”

George McLaurin, the first black man admitted to the University of Oklahoma in 1948 was forced to sit in a corner far from his classmates.
When he first applied he was denied based on his race. He went to court & it ruled that denying him was unconstitutional.
George W. McLaurin provided the Oklahoma civil rights case that irreparably damaged the "separate but equal" legal position established in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896.
Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in which the Court ruled that racial segregation laws did not violate the U.S. Constitution
The justices affirmed that McLaurin’s 14th Amendment rights means he must receive the same educational experience as OU’s white students.
He earned a master's degree from the University of Kansas and taught at Langston University, an all-black institution, until 1968.
