The "Greatest" team in the NBA?

How many more rings do the Spurs have to get before they are considered the "Greatest" team ever?

I know the Celtics and Bulls have more but how many will it take to surpass them?

The Spurs have 4. The Celtics have 16, the Lakers have 14, and the Bulls have 6.

I'm no math major, but that would seem to mean that the Spurs need 13, 11, and 3 to pass each of those franchises, respectively.

With the way the Dallas Mavericks are looking thus far? I don't think you have a chance to achieve your fantasy goal in this Decade, more less this season! I am sorry to ruin your dream but facts are what they are.

At the minimum by 2035 to catch up with LA and Boston.

To bring a little bit of sincerity to the thread, I think the Spurs have a legitimate shot at establishing themselves as the greatest team of the modern era. With 6-7 rings over a huge span of time, they would have to be considered on a level with the Bulls. IF it happens, though, that's a LOT of work to win 3 more titles, but if it happened, it would be the second most dominant streak in NBA history and probably of modern sports in general. No team in any major sport has even made a run at 5 titles in a short period of time besides the Spurs and the Bulls.

What a great time to be a Spurs fan.

When we win more rings than the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls combined, and Duncan is widely considered the greatest player ever.

So, in other words - not going to happen.

Spurs are done. Admit it.

2006: Mavs collapse in NBA Finals, losing 4 in a row.
2007: Mavs become 1st and only #1 seed team in NBA history to lose to #8 seed in a 7 game series (and convincingly, at that).

Spurs sweep the Cavs in route to their 4th NBA championship.

Spurs are done?

I'm guessing you made that prediction last year, along with something along the lines of "this is the year for the Mavs! They've learned from their mistakes, and they're ready to kick butt!" Am I correct?

Have you no faith?

Those old records mean nothing to the new generation! This is now! If the Spurs can win one more Ring? they will without a doubt be the "Greatest team in the NBA!"

Two things come to mind: "Who" and "cares". Seriously, what fucking Spurs fan sits there at the parade and goes "Well the historians are REALLY going to respect this team now!" :rolleyes

I don't think the question was "to be considered the winningest Franchise ever". The question was "greatest team ever". And that window is smaller. So, for the question posed, you don't have to match the Celtics' total titles. Or the Lakers total titles. You have to say in this period of time (whatever it is) THIS team was maybe better than any team ever.

For example, hypothetically, if we win 3 more in a row (4 in a row total), plus our previous 3, that's 7 in like 12 yrs or something like that, including a 4peat (which has only been done once before)?

If the Spurs win 4 in a row (and do it in dominant fashion), with 7/12 and having only been elimintated by: TD being injured in 2000, the 3peat Lakers a couple of times and a Mavs team that won 67 games the next year...

Is that going to happen? No. But would that be enough to be considered maybe the best ever with Jordan's Bulls and Magic's Lakers at least (for modern era)? I think so.

The Spurs' highly secretive master plan (HSMP) is to win every title from now until Tim retires. So once HSMP comes to fruition, they will have made a very strong case for themselves as the greatest team ever IMO. However, they will never be considered the greatest team ever unless they become more like the suns and go after every ratings championship from now until Tim retires.

If this happens, the NBA would have to file chapter 11 and yes, they would be the greatest dynasty in NBA History.

I don't care what we are considered. We have 4 championships, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. We're good for our place in history. Other fans who want to discredit Spurs are just jealous. That's why it was fitting that a Mav fan was first to respond to this thread.

Not in this day and age, not with any team. It isn't a knock on the Spurs by any means.

Just seems too unlikely. Parity is good for the sport

Even if that were true, I'd love for them to be done while winning 4 titles. Hell they've already satisfied me for life when it comes to pro sports teams winning championships.

1 is awesome, 2 is more awesome, 3 is fucking unbelievable and 4 is how many more titles the Spurs have over your cunt lick team.

Booyah motherfucker :fro

There may be someone that comes along one day and decides to eat the luxury tax money and buy up all the best players from everyone else. I don't think that would be enough, as there are far too many good players in the league now. A good team with some talent will beat an all-star team most of the time.
