Episode Details

After coming within three victories of capturing their sixth NBA championship, can Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs finish what they started and bring another Larry O'Brien Trophy back to The Alamo?

Gavriel Wilkins and Torrence Stagger bring their journey through 30 Teams In 24 Days to its conclusion by heading to San Antonio to examine the Spurs' championship aspirations entering the 2026-27 NBA season following a remarkable 62-win campaign that saw the franchise reach its first NBA Finals since 2014.

The guys discuss San Antonio's offseason, including the addition of Tobias Harris, the retention of several key contributors and Victor Wembanyama's five-year contract extension. Including whether the Spurs can build upon last season's success and finish the upcoming campaign with the NBA's best regular-season record.

Gavriel and Torrence then move along to assess Wembanyama's pursuit of both NBA MVP and Defensive Player of the Year honors, along with the developing backcourt debate involving Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox. With Stephon Castle also factoring into the equation, the guys discuss how San Antonio can maximize its talented collection of guards while continuing to develop its younger players.

The conversation then shifts toward head coach Mitch Johnson and the championship-or-bust expectations surrounding the franchise following last season's NBA Finals defeat against the New York Knicks. They also revisit San Antonio's historic Game 4 collapse and examine whether Johnson can make the necessary adjustments to guide the Spurs back to basketball's biggest stage.

Finally, the two friends share their takes as to whether San Antonio can capture its sixth NBA championship before evaluating the Spurs' projected 59.5-to-60.5-win range and delivering their final official predictions of the 2026-27 edition of 30 Teams In 24 Days.

With all 30 franchises officially covered, the guys also reflect on the conclusion of their monthlong journey throughout The Association and look ahead to the premiere of Season 3 of The New Twenty Four on Wednesday, October 21.
