Spurs are still the best team of the post Shaq-Kobe Lakers to Pre-Kobe/Gasol Lakers

Spurs are still the best team. They won 2 rings (2005, 2007). All the other compe ion only won 1 ring (Maimi and Boston). No doubt the Spurs are the best team. They made it to the playoffs each year and is relevant. Props to the Spurs for being the best team Post Shaq/Kobe to Pre-Kobe/Gasol.

I agree. 2003, 2005, 2007 NBA champs. In 2004, 2006, 2008 they came close but fell short (Fisher shot, Manu foul on Dirk, bad ankle for Manu in WCF). I still believe they have what it takes to win another NBA le, of course the team has to be healthy to do that. Now the Lakers got back to the NBA finals and lost in 2004 and 2008, I find that impressive as well. It's just that the Spurs have been so consistent and have not missed the playoffs since they acquired Tim Duncan. Just incredible.

Last 15 NBA champs:

95' Rockets
96' Bulls
97' Bulls
98' Bulls
99' Spurs
00' Lakers
01' Lakers
02' Lakers
03' Spurs
04' Pistons
05' Spurs
06' Heat
07' Spurs
08' Celtics
09' Lakers

IMO the Spurs would have demolished the Miami Heat in the NBA finals in 2006 if they had reached it. Since Jordan left the Bulls the Lakers and Spurs have been the most dominant NBA teams, with the exception of the Lakers missing the playoffs for 1 season.

Now this I can agree with. The Spurs were the best team in that void that occurred when LA rebuilt.

But anyone with half a brain can see their time is done. They need more than just a healthy Big 3.

Spews were the healthiest team that had the best power forward in NBA history. When they played a healthy team or had a injury themselves, they LOST. Put this homer thread in the Spews forum so they can jerk off to it.

That is very kind.

And to be fair, the 09 Lakers are the best team in the Post Elson-Ely-Butler era.
