the spurs, who could never get past the first round of the aba playoffs before the merger, won nba division titles in five of their first six nba seasons. this was in spite of the financial and draft penalties imposed on the team. the spurs then went through a period of decline in the late 1980s, but rebounded in the 1990s, and in 1999 became the first former aba team to both reach and win the nba finals; as of the end of the 2017-18 season they are the only former aba team to win a title. they have since won four more nba titles, in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014. in 2003, the nba finals matched two former aba teams, the spurs and the new jersey nets.
