80's - Lakers (5 NBA championships, 8 Finals appearances)
90's - Bulls (6 NBA championships, 6 Finals appearances)
00's - Lakers (4 NBA championships, 6 Finals appearances)

Who gives a fuck about being labeled "team of the decade"? Why do you feel that its such an important title to be "team of the decade"? Who really gives a shit but a materialistic lakers fan such as yourself? Were you one of the many mexicans out en force, rioting and destroying your own city, getting your smash and grab on? So your lakers are now "team of the decade." Whoop de doo! WGAF?

[BUMP]

i think now that the Lakers have pulled even with SA (4 titles) the discussion has only started but SA gets the edge because they have been consistent the whole time (9 straight 50 win seasons) and because their leader didnt quit in the 4th quarter of a game 7 to prove a point

[DrHouse]

Well I agree that San Antonio has been more consistent this decade.

In terms of pure results though, the Lakers have 4 rings to the Spurs 3. And more Finals appearances.

I said '00 decade so the 98-99 season most certainly does not count.

I don't know, I honestly couldn't care. I'll just be happy with the rings.

The difference between YOUR team's trophies and OUR team's trophies is that our's were won the right way, with skill and class and pride. Lakers get their trophies handed to them. We also have to fight the refs and Stern to get our trophies. Plus we don't tear up our city, steal from our stores, or beat up our fellow citizens when we win.

Other than the finals appearance, Shaq didn't bring shit for the Miami Cheat, not to mention the Suns with whom Shaq hasn't ever penetrated to the second round even. Cavs may win the trophy with him next season, but the 09-10 belongs to the next decade rather than this one.

Shaq's most glorious moments were closely knitted with the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, which is undeniable truth though it's really a big shame to be with Kobe and his Lakers.

I'd rather have 4 in 9 than 4 in 10.

[sedale threatt]

I'll give the Spurs '99 and call it a tie at four titles each.

Lakers are still the Team Of the Decade because the Team Of The Decade is not allowed to get bounced by the Mavericks twice.

Sorry--that's just the way it is.

Exactly, the Rockets finished a decade-long mission in making the second round this season. their 22 winning streak also deserves some credit though.

You want to talk about rationalizing? How about you rationalizing about your lakers being "team of the decade". The San Antonio Spurs are the most winningest team in ALL of professional sports for well over a decade. There is NOTHING wrong with being a San Antonio Spurs fan. We have class and pride on our side. Our team plays the game the way it is supposed to be played. I would rather have quality over quantity in this case. We have 4 shiny, gleaming trophies compared to your team's last few trophies which are all tarnished and stained with the way you lakers fans act afterwards. Keep gloating. It does not add up to much.

And it's ok to lose when being ahead 3-1 in a playoff series in that decade? I still call us the Team of the decade without '99...but with '99, we completely own you.

Spurs fans get over it. The Fakers won and that's it. The ball bounced their way and the Spurs got hit with injuries. They won straight up and there isn't really much we can say.

Congrats Laker fans it sucks that your team won but you did and there is nothing anyone can say about it. had the Spurs won I would definately be rubbing it in your faces (maybe not on your site but nonetheless)

Um...you must have missed the point of this thread. This isn't about them winning the title..we know that..and we're not mad at that...this is about what team is the team of the decade...this title, IMO, doesn't put them over the Spurs...

[nhan]

What value does a team of the decade have? If you want to be real technical you could say that the Lakers' ring in 2000 started in 1999, which is not part of the decade. I could say the Spurs were the best team between 2003-2007, but why would anyone care. It's like saying the Celtics are the best team ever just because they have the most rings. So your 15 rings isn't a good argument. Because I'm pretty sure if I asked you who is the better team the Celtics or the Lakers in history, you would say the Lakers.

The person who won the Lakers this ring was Jerry West. I mean that trade with Pau Gasol was the biggest bullshit I've seen. And no, I'm not mad at all. It's just funny that Lakers fan actually try to argue that the trade made sense for Memphis.

[The Gemini Method]

Seriously, what does obtaining, "the team of so-and-so decade" really get you? Both the Lakers and Spurs had one helluva decade in terms of success. They both also played integral parts in crushing dreams of the opposing team. I could care less who is called the "team of the decade," because both teams have something that is both remarkable and fleeting--multiple championships. I'm willing to bet teams like the Mavs, Suns, Cavs, and any other team that got beat by either L.A/S.A., would sell their souls for just one of the LOB trophies.

Yes..I can understand that...but the bottom line is that this is a forum thread...don't try to look too deep. It is what it is. The guy was stating that he thought the Lakers were definitely the team of the decade, and we were giving him our two cents..nothing more, nothing less.

[Spurtacus]

80's - Lakers (5 NBA championships, 8 Finals appearances)

+1

It's not biased though...when a team can lose a series after being ahead 3-1, and actually miss the playoffs one time in that decade, they can't be known as the team of that decade, unless they win the title every other year besides those two..and they didn't.

Like I said. The results speak for themselves.

Lakers - 4 Titles, 6 Finals appearances
Spurs - 3 Titles, 3 Finals appearances

Lakeshow wins hands down. Winning % doesn't mean shit, it's all about the rings. If we want to talk winning % then I'm sure the fucking Mavericks have a dog in this race :lmao.

You can never and will never get out from under the shadow of LA Spur fans. We own you in the playoffs, we steal your spotlight, and we have now taken over this decade. Get used to it.

1999-00 doesn't count for this decade. Otherwise, the decade would have 11 years if we end in 2009-10.

WTF are you talking about? Before this year, you guys haven't won a ring since 2002. So then the Lakers can't even be close to the team of the decade, so I guess they haven't been relevant since then...guess they aren't the team of the decade either.

[Spursfan092120]

So let me get this straight..we're deciding who the team of the decade is in 2009, but 1999 doesn't count? How the hell does this work? Last time I checked, a decade lasts 10 years...either the 1999 title counts for SA, or the team of the decade isn't decided until 2010...which is next year...see you in the playoffs, LA.

Like team of each decade, the 70's, 80's, 90's. 00's.

So therefore 1999 would be part of the 90's, 09 was part of the 00's. Team of this decade, not team of the last ten years. The whole thing is just stupid anyways cause some think the first Lakers title was last decade cause it was the 1999 season so whatever. It's either the Spurs or Lakers, both have done great things.

[Ice009]

It's not even a debate. Hasn't been for awhile. The Spurs are barely even relevant anymore.

More titles, 6 finals and the Lakers owned the sit out of SA head to head in the playoffs.

Spurs could have easily been 4-2 in the head to head. In fact if we played you in 05-07 it could have even been 6 or 7-2 if we played you in those years or at the very least 4-4. Take away 0.4 and the Gasol trade even with Manu injured there is a good chance you probably lose to the Spurs both those seasons.

The only way you can truly use head to head is if we played you every single season in the playoffs for the whole decade. It sucks that we didn't get to play you in between 05-07.

Even in 2002 the Spurs had the lead in every 4th quarter of the game of that series and we choked it up. You didn't own shit. I also look at the actual games and how they played out rather than the end of the series to see how close it actually was. Were you even a Lakers fan back then?

The only season I will say the Lakers owned us was in 2001. We got our butts whipped in those games. Of course if we had Derek Anderson our second leading scorer with out a separated shoulder we may have played a better series.

[Ice009]

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. You sound like a Suns fan.

It's the truth if you don't like it leave. Your team didn't own the Spurs like you think they did.

NOUN:


A period of ten years.
A group or series of ten.

ETYMOLOGY:
Middle English, a group of ten, from Old French, from Late Latin decas , decad-, from Greek dekas, from deka, ten; see dekhttp://l.yimg.com/a/i/edu/ref/ahd/s/mlowring.gif in Indo-European roots

80's - Lakers (5 NBA championships, 8 Finals appearances)
90's - Bulls (6 NBA championships, 6 Finals appearances)
00's - Lakers (4 NBA championships, 6 Finals appearances

Clearly he is referring to the 00s 1999 is not in the 00 therefore you are wrong.

[carrao45]

1999-00 doesn't count for this decade. Otherwise, the decade would have 11 years if we end in 2009-10.

it doesnt end in 2009-2010.
60's=60 to 69
70's=70 to 79
80's=80 to 89
and so on and so forth.

But i still think the spurs are probably team of the decade. of course, by Spurs Fan's logic, the Lakers are the Team of NBA History. Not the most championships, but the highest win percentage, and the most playoff appearances ever.
Lakers=Team Of NBA History

[carrao45]

So let me get this straight..we're deciding who the team of the decade is in 2009, but 1999 doesn't count? How the hell does this work? Last time I checked, a decade lasts 10 years...either the 1999 title counts for SA, or the team of the decade isn't decided until 2010...which is next year...see you in the playoffs, LA.

2000-2009 is ten years dumb shit.
1. 2000
2. 2001
3. 2002
4. 2003
5. 2004.
6. 2005
7. 2006.
8. 2007
9. 2008
10. 2009

[carrao45]

Spurs could have easily been 4-2 in the head to head. In fact if we played you in 05-07 it could have even been 6 or 7-2 if we played you in those years or at the very least 4-4. Take away 0.4 and the Gasol trade even with Manu injured there is a good chance you probably lose to the Spurs both those seasons.

The only way you can truly use head to head is if we played you every single season in the playoffs for the whole decade. It sucks that we didn't get to play you in between 05-07.

Even in 2002 the Spurs had the lead in every 4th quarter of the game of that series and we choked it up. You didn't own shit. I also look at the actual games and how they played out rather than the end of the series to see how close it actually was. Were you even a Lakers fan back then?

The only season I will say the Lakers owned us was in 2001. We got our butts whipped in those games. Of course if we had Derek Anderson our second leading scorer with out a separated shoulder we may have played a better series.
Yeah almost...too bad almost doesnt count

Wrong??? Nope!!! I, like 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999% of ALL the posters on SpursTalk.com, agree that Nurse Doublewide Trailer House is always wrong. I'm talking about the fact that a 'Decade' is ANY Ten (10) Year Period.....PERIOD!!! Buy yourself a Dictionary, son! Besides everyone in the National Media, coaches, players, GM's, and owners of virtually every pro team in each of the four major pro sports have deemed the San Antonio Spurs as the Best Franchise the past decade. We just celebrated the 10 year anniversary of the 1999 NBA Championship. We did NOT lose a championship during that period...the Lakers lost twice. But, like I have stated on other threads on this subject, I'm on board with several Lakers and Spurs fans that SA & LA are Co-TOD...Enuf on this silly subjecy!

[BUMP]

Nurse DoubleWide Trailer House????

:lmao

[sabar]

Pretty sure no one cares. Mavfan, sunfan, bullsfan, nbafan could care less what lakerfan and spursfan thinks is the team of the decade.

[Ice009]

I could go with that. I won't dispute the Lakers all time winning percentage as it is the best. Spurs are second in that category.

[Ice009]

Yeah almost...too bad almost doesnt count

Of course it doesn't count, but head to head shouldn't really be used in the team of the decade like I said because we never got to play you when we were clearly the better team. I was also saying we didn't get stomped in the head to head like that other guy was saying. It could have went either way a couple of those series.

the whole "decade" thing is totally arbitrary.

The Spurs won 4 titles in 9 years.

The Lakers won 4 titles in 10 years.

I'd rather have 4 in 9 than 4 in 10.

4 titles and 6 finals appearances isn't all too shabby. pointless thread tho. This thread wreaks insecurity

Well put.

I've been trying to explain to Spurs fan exactly this ^ for so long. It seems like they want to pick their own decade based on their math. A traditional decade is referenced by 10's (i.e. 70's, 80's, 90's etc). The 90's ended in 1999 yet they want to include '99 in the new 00 decade.

If they want to play that way, then as a Laker fan I'll pick my own time frame. Who has the most championships the last 30 years?

Lakers.


Spurs fan:

Get on your knees :worthy: and pay homage to
the Lakers :lobt: x15 and we will leave it alone.

Deal? :lol

[redzero]

In the long run, the Spurs really don't have anything on the Lakers, so I don't know why Lakers fans bother with setting a ten year time line anyway.

[King]

Why does anyone fight so hard for this arbitrary title, anyway?

[stretch]

I'd say the Spurs are still the team of the decade. They have been legit title contenders (barring injuries) every season this decade. They were constantly a team that people would not have liked to face going into the playoffs. And the team they are now, is almost completely revamped from the team they were coming into the decade, yet still never lost their ability to contend for titles for a moment in that time period.

On the other hand, there was a 3 year window in which the Lakers sucked dick.

Spurs > Lakers

You're right. But the reason Laker fans are bringing up these arbitrary time lines now is because these are the criteria that Spurfan made up to try to make themselves feel superior to the Lakers. It's just a way to own them with their own desperate ass argument. Before we won this championship they loved playing the "team of the decade" or "___ championships in ___ years" card. As if anyone gives a shit. But that's what they do, since it's so difficult to win an argument for them and they feel so insecure they make up all this arbitrary bullshit in an attempt to spin things and make themselves look better. Not every spurfan does this but a handful of idiots on this site are pretty relentless. To see a good example of what I'm talking about scroll down and look at the thread by benefactor.

I'm sorry...what makes you a dynasty twice in one decade? You won 3 rings in the first part, yes...but how does one championship make you a dynasty? If that's the case, the Spurs have 4 dynasties..not just one.

They were constantly a team that people would not have liked to face going into the playoffs. And the team they are now, is almost completely revamped from the team they were coming into the decade, yet still never lost their ability to contend for titles for a moment in that time period.

The Lakers were in SIXTY percent of this decade's finals. If the Spurs were 'legit' contenders every season they would have been there more. And if they were the team of the decade they would have more rings and wouldn't have constantly lost to the Lakers in the playoffs.

Claiming the Spurs are team of the decade would be like claiming Portland was team of the decade in the 90s since the Bulls sucked dick 99.


On the other hand, there was a 3 year window in which the Lakers sucked dick.

One year because of the injuries and the other two teams probably would have stomped the pathetic 08/09 Spurs that choked on their dicks in the 1st round to a pathetic Mavericks team that was 3 seeds lower.

[ElNono]

There was never any dispute, and there's nothing to dispute, IMO.
The only team that has been a perennial contender the last decade, making the playoffs every season and winning 4 championships in the process, along with having the best winning percentage on any professional sport is undeniably the team of the decade.
Alas, I think those times are probably over for the Spurs. They might still have a run or two in them, but they're going to need more help, and it will be very difficult to keep winning at the rate they did the past 10 years.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao @ Laker fans in this topic. Pretty fucking pathetic that you guys are so desperate for the team of the decade title. And in the last DECADE (meaning ten years), Spurs have 4 titles and so do the Lakers. While the Spurs are 4-0 in those Final appearances, The Lakers are 4-2, with those two losses being the result of MASSIVE choke jobs.

And all you really have to defend yourself is a picture of Kobe that you've posted 9348973 times already this forum?

Weak. :td

A team with that many rings has a really insecure fanbase. Is it because you realize that the majority of those titles are bullshit (Minneapolis Lakers, give me a fucking break) and the only reason your team is worth talking about right now is because of the collusion that was allowed last year?

Fuck the Lakers and their fans. :lol

[Leetonidas]

And let's not forget the absence of the REAL Manu Ginobili, both this year and last, and not to mention the Barry-Fisher no call...

[JustBlaze]

The difference between YOUR team's trophies and OUR team's trophies is that our's were won the right way, with skill and class and pride. Lakers get their trophies handed to them. We also have to fight the refs and Stern to get our trophies. Plus we don't tear up our city, steal from our stores, or beat up our fellow citizens when we win.

No. Spurs have won 50+ games and been contenders EVERY year. The Lakers had a 3 year span in which they fucking sucked, and missed the playoffs even. If you are going to use the injury excuse, the Spurs have dealt with 100x more injuries than the Lakers, yet still were constantly a feared contender.

Lakeshow has more rings in the '00's then the Spurs. That settles it for me.

"Team of the Decade" was made by Spurs fans so they can feel good about themsleves and do not want to count anything before the year 1999 as legit. Too bad the Lakers killed thier "title" of team of the decade.

So to make it up to Spurs fans...i say you are the "Team of 2003-2007". Happy?

[z0sa]

haha, Lakerfan will never understand. This shit just doesn't get to us spurs fans. We watched you win many championships. Maybe this would have meant something then.

Riot Follows Super Bowl
XXVII Parade

The Dallas riot began as a massive midday civic celebration and parade on Tuesday, Feb. 9. The crowd was estimated as high as 400,000—far more than authorities had anticipated—and several city high schools reported absentee rates of more than 50% as young people from many neighborhoods thronged the downtown area. They looted liquor stores, stripped vendors of Super Bowl memorabilia and did about $50,000 worth of damage to city buses, the same buses that had provided free rides to the parade site.

The report of a task force that investigated the roots of the riot said the violence had "some racial overtones" and went on: "Post-parade disturbance, assaults and 'wilding' activities were generated by the combination of a sports-excitement atmosphere, the lack of sufficient police presence and mob psychology by groups—and therefore, by race."

If there have been ten champs, that means ten seasons, right? Ten seasons in ten years? Ten years being a decade? Right?

1999 wasn't even in this century, people.

And decades are started at 0, for whoever said that. http://www.unit5.org/cjhsimc/hotlists/decades/decades_main.htm

And I'm a Spurs fan.

And again, why does anybody care about being the 'team of the decade?'

[Spursfan092120]

Get over it.... I'm giving you grief and bantar over your stupid comments that 1999 is part of the 2000 decade. I hate the cowboys just like you hate the Lakers and since you are an obvious fan... well... even you can figure it out... I think. I'll leave you alone... for now... you seem overly sensitive.
whoa whoa whoa...never said I hated the Lakers...don't flatter yourself..not everyone hates your team. I dislike Laker FANS who think their team is the greatest of all time and deserves to be handed the title every year. and I never said that 1999 is part of the 2000 decade. I said that a decade is 10 years, and until the last time I checked, it's still 2009, which is 10 years after 1999. If you want to be technical, 1999 is still within the decade of the year we're in. But at the same time, I also said I still believe the Spurs had a better decade than LA overall even without the 99 season.

Pretend your index finger is 1999. Start counting the years, with each subsequent year being a different finger. Let me know if you get to 2009 or run out of fingers first.

[NewcastleKEG]

Yeah unless the Spurs win in the next two season the Lakers have the Team of the Decade locked up. Doesn't really matter because Duncan's career still ranks above Kobe's.

[Purple & Gold]

Congratz Lakers fans this was a long wait and a deserved Championship. I feel like i did in 2000 pleasantly surprised how easy it came and positive that the Lakers will not only be in the mix but be the one stirring the Championship drink from now on for the next few years. And yes the Team of the Decade dispute is over. Lakers took it easily. Even if you include the spurs 99 title, which I generously do, the Lakers 3peat trumps them since they couldn't even repeat once. The Lakeshow is Team of the Decade again. Celebrate Laker fans, even spurs fans recognize their them is a notch below. :clap :clap :clap

[KSeal]

Someone please lock this thread and end this stupid debate. Lakers and Spurs were clearly the two best teams in the 00's, just leave it at that. They both did amazing things with all time great players.

Well.... The Lakers ARE the greatest of all time. You could easily argue the Celtics are because they have 2 more championships.... but according to the logic all the Spurs fans employ... its about being consistent andthe best winning %. The Lakers have the best winning % and have been more consistent over the decades than any other team. Case closed!

I don't know a single Laker fan, and I know a lot, that feels the team should be handed a title. It takes hard work, dedicatioin, talent, and luck. The Lakers just do it better than the rest. Are we fans spoiled... sure. That's what makes being a Laker fan so coooooooool!:toast

As for the hate... it comes with the territory. Its why I hate your Cowboys, the Yankees, and the Red Wings. Everyone wants the top dog to fall a few pegs. It's what being a fan is all about.

[Phenomanul]

No you are incorrect.

We are talking about team of the 80's/90's/00's/etc. This is how it is ALWAYS done in sports. Which means the 2010 season DOES NOT COUNT in the '00 decade.

It's 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

The 2000 NBA Championship was from the 1999-2000 season...

Explain to me how 1999 belongs in this decade?

Lakerfan can't have it both ways...

2000-2001 (1)
2001-2002 (2)
2002-2003 (3)
2003-2004 (4)
2004-2005 (5)
2005-2006 (6)
2006-2007 (7)
2007-2008 (8)
2008-2009 (9)

That's a total of 9 NBA seasons thus far in this decade... seasons which have yielded a total of 3 titles apiece to both San Antonio and LA.

So like I said before, next season will present the possibility for either team to break the tie... and Lakerfan should be happy his team is in a better position to accomplish just that...

[KSeal]

Holy shit people, STOP!!!

Yet another moron.

The title won Sunday was for 2009. Next years will be 2010.

I could care less if you want to call the Lakers or the Spurs the team of the decade. It's not a title or anything. There are no trophies.

But the moronic comments like above that distort all common sense and logic are just totally absurd. If you ask who won the 72 title.... what is the answer?

If you answer anything other that the Wilt-West Lakers then you are just as ignorant as this Phenomanul douchebag.

If you ask 100 people... 98 will say the Lakers won that year and 2 idiots like the above poster will say the Knicks.

Ohhhhh... and to answer this "Explain to me how 1999 belongs in this decade?"

1/3 of the season is played before the new year and 2/3 after. Figure it out from there genius.

LOL where the fuck do you think 2010 lies? That sure as hell isn't in the '00 decade by your logic, which means you have defined a 9 year period which is NOT a decade. Fucking moron.

Good God, it's enough that we're arguing over something arbitrary but your dumbass has to take it to another level.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

the whole "decade" thing is totally arbitrary.

The Spurs won 4 titles in 9 years.

The Lakers won 4 titles in 10 years.

I'd rather have 4 in 9 than 4 in 10.


Yeah, but I rather get 3 titles in 3 years than 3 titles in 6 years!

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

I remember you and I going back and forth a couple months ago. I don't have the time to look those post up. But if I remember right you said you will give this Laker team your respect if they won it. Maybe you already done it but like I said I don't really want to go through all your posts.

[Flux451]

I said '00 decade so the 98-99 season most certainly does not count.

you are a dumbass sir. Dr. House alone in his little world. Have fun play nice with your imaginary friends

Well put. Fans from both teams will interpret things as they see to their advantage...both teams were the best in the decade, both had some unfortunate events happen that might've changed the amount of rings they won, both had ups and downs, both had injuries, both have had some of the best players ever on their teams. They accomplished their goals with different styles and personalities but both can come away saying that was a damn successful decade.

As for the future which is what we should be talking about, the lakers obviously have the upper hand, but who knows what will happen. Spurs are one good young player away from being right there.

Were you also there in 2003 when the Spurs shut down the Staples Center on their way to an NBA Championship? :lol

Wasn't 2003 a re-building year where Tim Duncan played like he was a whole team?
