Nevertheless, the franchise has won five titles since the 1999 season.

In addition, the Spurs are led by legendary head coach Gregg Popovich.

Paul is entering his 20th season in the league.

He also played for the Los Angeles Clippers, New Orleans Hornets, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns.
