I would agree, though the 2003 team was loaded with talent and stopped the Lakers Dynasty. And the 2005 team faced the toughest finals opponent. And the 2007 team swept their finals opponent. So, you can make a case for them all.

But, if I had to pick it would 1999. Their postseason record was amazing. I think, if the 90's Bulls had stayed together one more year, they'd have beaten that Kicks team easily in the East. Spurs vs. Bulls, that would have been a hell of a finals series. I think the Spurs might have won, as that Bulls team was running on fumes for their last championship. (Though it was certainly enough to beat the Jazz.)

Ah, to party like its 1999...

Remember, we started the season 6-8... that was a very good team!

It was my final year in high school and I took a day off from studying for exams to watch Game 5 of the finals. My cable box broke down during the final 3 minutes of the 4th quarter and I had to resort to asking a friend to send me ICQ messages with updates on the game lol..

I think Mario Elie deserves a lot of credit for bringing a defensive intensity to the team. that was different than the mid 90's Spurs
