The NBA’s new anti-tanking rule makes the Spurs’ young core even more special.

No more top-5 picks in three straight years for one team.

Which means what San Antonio just pulled off? Might never happen again.

2023 - Victor Wembanyama, No. 1 pick.
2024 - Stephon Castle, No. 4 pick.
2025 - Dylan Harper, No. 2 pick.

That’s a generational draft sequence.

Three straight years.
Three elite prospects.
Three potential franchise-changing players.

And now? That window is officially closed under the new rules.

Which makes this Spurs rebuild feel even more historic.

We may never see an ethical rebuild like this again.

Because years from now, people might look back at this stretch the same way they talk about legendary draft runs in NBA history.

You think only NBA legends own real estate on the biggest stage in basketball?

Think again.

LeBron James has 10 Finals appearances.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 10.
Bill Russell has 12.

All incredible.
But then there's another NBA Finals veteran...

Scott Foster.

Nineteen.

NINETEEN.

At this point, Scott Foster has seen more Finals basketball than some entire franchises.

Players come and go.
Dynasties rise and fall.
Scott Foster? Still making deep playoff runs.

LeBron chased Finals appearances for two decades.

Scott Foster somehow doubled it.

The NBA Finals aren't complete without superstars.

And apparently...

One referee.
