As a former sports data director with 12+ years in tech, I’ve watched the Spurs’ fate unfold like a silent film—two endings, one earned, one erased. The first? A coach who led them to playoffs. The second? A team that folded, and I still wonder if we ever truly understood what it meant to fight for legacy over stats. This isn’t just basketball—it’s the quiet tragedy of legacy, measured in midnight clips and Discord whispers. I don’t chase wins. I chase meaning.
