Living in the present - Dominance of the 2014 Spurs

[Splits]

Since the offseason is still upon us and there isn't much to talk about, let's discuss the Spurs dominance in their 2013-14 run. This was perhaps one of the most dominant displays of pure basketball in the history of the NBA. When the Spurs raise banner #5 over the AT&T it will read "NBA Champion" instead of the megalomaniac self-congratulating "World Champion".

All of that said, can we all pause and agree to marvel at the amazing accomplishment that the 2014 San Antonio Spurs accomplished?

Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker have the most playoff wins of any threesome in NBA history.

The 118 playoff wins for San Antonio’s Big Three is better than Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Cooper who had 110 with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tim Duncan is the only player to start on a championship team in three different decades.

Duncan won his first title in 1999, had three championship in the aughts and capped it off with a title in 2014. The only other player to be on the roster for a title team in three different decades was John Salley, the sixth man on the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons teams of 1989 and 1990 who was also on the end of the Lakers bench for the team’s 2000 championship.

The Spurs’ 14.5-point margin of victory was the highest in NBA Finals history.

This only shows how fake-good the Great Satan Lebron and his cHeat are tbh. If you got the 11' Mavs playing the 14' Spurs in the NBA finals it'd be an evenly matched series tbh.

the trade for kawhi has revive duncans career and that turd pg who was clearly on his way out to the knicks

only to stick around cause he knows kawhi is the one the spurs been waiting for since bowen retired

POS should know we are less 1 ring due to his bs jealousy, funni how the fags upstairs have the nerve to give the credit to the coatrider for the last 2 years when he basically didnt do shit when it matter the most...without kawhi this clown was on his way to the knicks and spurs wouldve continue to choke in the earlier rounds then continue to go raw deep into the playoffs
