The record holder for the most consecutive playoff appearances in NBA history among coaches is Gregg Popovich, with 21. After taking over the head coaching job in San Antonio in 1997, he was able to lead the Spurs to the postseason from 1998 to 2018. This incredible feat was the primary reason for the Spurs' sustained solid chances in NBA championship odds.
The Spurs will make their 21st consecutive playoff appearance, tying the Trail Blazers (1983-2003) for the 2nd longest streak in NBA history. The 76ers/Nationals clinched an NBA-record 22 straight playoff berths between 1950-71. pic.twitter.com/btA8YeKqSr
