Yeah but it would have been the GOAT.. Ending his run.

If it's not laughable, it's cos I pretty much stopped giving a fuck about the cucks' lists at Disney Sports.

Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
'99 Spurs
Started off 6-8
Finished season going 31-5
Playoffs 15-2
So 46-7 to end the year
That's a really slept on team, tbh.

Pre-injury Timmy, not-yet-fading Admiral. Fearsome as hell team. :toast I think they'd have beaten the Jordan Bulls if that team hadn't broken up.

Yep. :toast
For the record: Beatles/Ginger/Elvira... Beatles for beginning-to-end consistent greatness. Early and late Stones drags their portfolio down, and even mid-period Stones "Aftermath" to "Exile" is marred by "Satanic Majesties." ("Beggars Banquet", "Let It Bleed", "Sticky Fingers", "Exile" is a 4 album murderer's row that is at the top of my list for... There I go :lol.
But, here's one for you: Jeannie or Samantha?

I'd say not just in sports. Like you say people love to rank things.
I'm not hypocrite, I admit that many times I make lists with my friends about the best girls we had, the best cars we've driven, etc etc.
Comparing & Ranking, it's part of human nature.

Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
2001 Lakers have the highest post season winning percentage in NBA history. This list is laughable.

Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
Nobody recognizes 1999.
The 2001 Miami Hurricanes were the greatest team...probably ever.
lol adding women's sports. ESPN just can't help themselves...

yeah, i dont care for CFB much outside of draft time... but that squad was insane. 38 players from that team ended up getting drafted, with 17 first round picks :wow
13 made pro bowls (43 trips combined)

Samantha easily. That twinkle and little nose wrinkle she did...sexy. For me Beatles, Ginger, Elvira too (though Count Floyd cracks me up.) As for a Murder's Row: Rubber Soul, Revolver, St. Pepper, The White Album, Abbey Road....my God... (Yeah, I skipped Magical Mystery Tour, and the Yellow Submarine sound track, so sue me. :lol)

I agree my friend. My friends and I used to even rank "Worst pick up lines that actually worked." "You're pretty enough to be a porn queen" was the winner (or so my friend claimed...I remain doubtful to this day. No one actually heard him say it.).

Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
2007 team played in a weak year in the NBA. Not sure I remember them as the most dominant. I would agree with other posters that 2014 and 1999 were more impressive.

Samantha, for sure.
I am a big Beatles fan. Like I said - beginning-to-end consistent greatness. I even love their early covers. But the sustained feedback on that note at the beginning of "I Feel Fine" followed by that nice riff that powers through the whole song makes that song one of my all-time favorites. :tu

Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
I’ve always thought that ‘07 team was the best. Tim, Tony, and Manu were all their prime and you had the best role support: Horry, Bowen, Finley, Barry, etc.
-
Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
The role players on the 2007 team were so old, I can't believe they got away with that:lol Bowen(35), Horry(36), Barry(35), Finley(33) as the specialists on the team..only Diaw was over 30 among the role players on the 2014 team IIRC..

Re: ESPN: Most Dominant Champions of the Last 20 Years
Nobody. And I repeat Nobody beats 2014 Spurs. I defy you to tell me otherwise.

It took an MVParker performance in G7 to get past the 8th seed Mavs in the first round that year.
