DM FOR NOTIS

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

1,181 regular season wins since 2000. More than any other NBA franchise.
Yet somehow, people talk about the Spurs like their winning culture disappeared.
Dynasties don't last forever, but organizations do.

The culture, player development, and long-term vision that built one of the greatest runs in NBA history are still there.

If Victor Wembanyama becomes the player many expect, don't be surprised if San Antonio is back competing for championships sooner than people think.

Is another Spurs dynasty a real possibility, or is the NBA too different now?

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@SpursReporter Nike is closing one chapter before opening another. The GT Cut 4 helped build the hype, now it's time for Wemby's own signature era. 👽👟

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@RunUpNYK He's 22 years old and already has a DPOY, First Team All-NBA and a Finals appearance. If this is the "disappointing" version of Wemby, the league should be very worried about what's coming next.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@caSPUR That's what makes the playoffs so brutal. Sometimes the better story doesn't end with the trophy. The Spurs will be back, this young core has too much talent not to be.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@Moyoorr Same to you. Have great and marvelous weekend.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@thunder78825 Nike clearly sees something special. Now it's up to Wemby and the Spurs to turn all that potential into banners.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

LeBron. Kobe. KD. Giannis.
Nike has built around superstars for decades.

Now they're reportedly doubling down on Victor Wembanyama with a long-term extension and a signature shoe.

That's more than a business move, it's a bet on who they believe will help lead the NBA's next era.

Will Wemby become the face of the league?

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@thunder78825 Wemby has the talent and the global appeal. The last piece is championships. If those come, the conversation about the next face of the NBA won't last very long.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@thunder78825 Manu in today's NBA would've had the ultimate green light. With more pace and spacing, 2,500+ threes honestly doesn't sound crazy.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

This list says a lot about how different NBA eras were.

Manu Ginóbili is still the Spurs' all-time leader in made threes with 1,495 despite playing in an era that didn't revolve around the three-point shot.

Now imagine if prime Manu played in today's NBA.
How many threes do you think he'd finish his career with?

@SpursNationCP That's the scary part. Most contenders are trying to keep their window open. The Spurs are just opening theirs.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@thunder78825 Both paths deserve respect. LeBron proved he could win in different situations, while Duncan proved you can build a dynasty by staying the course. Two legends, two different legacies.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@LockedBy23 Wemby's Year 3 résumé is ridiculous. DPOY, First Team All-NBA and a Finals run before turning 23... that's not normal. 👽🔥

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@statdefender Stephon Castle isn't just leading this list, he's doing it by a wide margin. Producing like that in the playoffs as a rookie says a lot about how he's built.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@esidery The Tim Duncan era throwbacks coming back while Wemby is leading the next generation... that's the perfect blend of Spurs history and the future.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@SebutiMatsome That's the scary part. The flaws are all coachable. Once Castle gets more comfortable handling pressure, his ceiling jumps to another level.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@Moyoorr Can't actually tell, may be some consedeations were actually made

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@thunder78825 I agree. The only question now is: which young player do you think takes the biggest leap alongside Wemby, Castle, Harper, or someone else?

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@thunder78825 My heart says yes. My brain says it depends on the cost. Don't mortgage the future, but don't ignore the opportunity either.

[William Oliver @WilliamOliverTX]

@SpursBrosPod The DAWG has never been the question. If he stays locked in for a full playoff run, San Antonio gets a whole lot tougher to beat
