Dynasty talk on Around The Horn.

Wow. It's very rare that all 4 sports columnists on that show agree on any topic, but every single one of them just agreed that the Spurs should be considered a dynasty if they win this Championship. :wow

If we win it'll be 4 out of 9.

Not many teams have done that.

Re: Dynasty talk on Around The Horn.

I think "dynasty" is thrown around too much. If I had my way we'd only consider three teams "NBA Dynasties." The Mikan Lakers, the Russell Celtics, and the Jordan Bulls.

You could call the 80's a "Lakers/Celtics Dynasty" since that matchup defined basketball for nine years, but IMO it takes an extended period of multiple (and consecutive) Championships to constitute a Dynasty.

I think the Spurs need at least this year and next year's Championship before we start talking about the Spurs Dynasty. That would be 4 Titles in 6 years. Win in 2009 too, and I think it's a given. For now, I'm happy to call them one of the most successful franchises in NBA history.

Haven't done back-to-back championships yet.

Something on the "to-do" list.

I agree. The Spurs should go ahead and win next year and the year after, too.

Great, now it's settled. :D

Re: Dynasty talk on Around The Horn.

The term dynasty has no meaning to me. It's an ambiguous term that really has no set meaning. I heard people talking about how the Cavs put an end to the Pistons dynasty. And then others saying that the only true dynasty in the NBA was the Russell Celtics.

There's no playoff system to win a dynasty trophy. All I know is championships and so far I count three of those.

Word. All I know is clinching the west was as satisfying in 2007 as it was in 1999. If the Spurs can win four more games it'll be as good as all the others. I'm probalby not the only Spurs fan that will never take winning championships for granted.

Re: Dynasty talk on Around The Horn.

I don't really consider the 1999 championship team to be part of this Spurs dynasty (if/when they win against the Cavs), simply because that team was so different than the one in 2003.

But you'd still call it a dynasty without '99?

I think that I'd put them in the "great team" category with the early 2000 Lakers and the Bad Boy Pistons. As another poster already said, the term dynasty is very overused. However, if they win another one after this with the big three then yes I'd put them in that elite category of Dynasty.
