Victor Wembanyama has already led the San Antonio Spurs to a level the franchise never even reached during its championship past.
The Spurs have five NBA titles, but they’ve never experienced such a hot start before. With their 107-101 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night, the Spurs are 5-0, marking the very first time this franchise has opened a season 5-0.
It didn’t happen when David Robinson was leading the Spurs through the 1990s. It didn’t even happen when Tim Duncan was guiding San Antonio to a dynastic-type run through the early-to-mid-2000s. No team coached by the legendary Gregg Popovich was able to pull it off.
Only the Thunder have a better record
But the 2025-26 Spurs have done it, joining the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, who picked up win No. 6 on the same night, as the only undefeated teams to have at least five wins.
