    Dynasty means domination over a sustained period of time, have spurs ever dominated the league? No. if you don't repeat ur not a dynasty period, anything short of a 3peat is not a dynasty, lakers had theirs, bulls had theirs, spurs take the odd year off because they dont have a squad that could trully dominate every year. just as with the lakers squad in the 70's the bulls in the 90's, you look at those team entering the playoffs and you knew there's almost no chance in they won't defend their le because they are so damn good, but the spurs? they might win every odd year, but the odds are still stacked against them to win at all, they don't really frighten you at all.

    If the '80s Celtics are, then we are.

    Depends on who you ask.

    The Spurs could pull this series out, win the next four les and some would still not consider it. Some already do, some are waiting until Duncan's career is over.

    Since there is no specific criteria for what is or isn't a dynasty, it will always be speculative. For me, as someone who lived through the first 26 years of Spurs basketball without a le, I am just enjoying the results.
    who wouldn't consider it a dynasty if they won 4 straight les... I think if you somehow pulled it out and won it all this year you would be considered a dynasty by most.

    I'm a Lakers fan.

    That being said, YES THEY ARE. They've dominated the league for many years and people like Fisher say they are the best team in basketball and have been for years. They've stayed on top over a long, long span.
    Totally agree, I don't know why other Laker fans want to deny this.

    Name another team with more three championship that wasn't called a dynasty during there time. If there is such a team then, I wouldn't consider the spurs as a dynasty.

    70's Steelers
    80's Lakers, 49er's
    90's Cowboys, Bulls
    00's Lakers, (Patriots.. pending)

    I know i left out the Celtics and Lakers of the 50's 60's
    I also left out Hockey and Soccer b/c those are the least dominant sports in USA

    Championships are GREAT, but we get one every year.

    The teams i mention above are considered "DYNASTY TEAMS" because of their multiple championships and ALL of them were able to repeat the following year!!!

    Im not knocking on the Spurs, hey 4 championships in 9 years is a Great Accomplishment and Well Deserved, but are they considered a Dynasty?
    Who really is concerned about being called a dynasty? The ing trolls here seem to think it's an insult to be told that the Spurs aren't a dynasty. Winning 4 of the last 10 les is enough for me.

    Do you really think not being a dynasty matters?

    Are the 80's Bird led Celtics a Dynasty?
    You know the one that made it impossible for Magic to get a 3peat?
    uh didnt he say REPEAT? which the lakers did.

    im compare these spurs to that celtics team of the 80's. they are not considered a dynasty. just one of the 2 teams of that decade. same thing with the spurs. if they dont win this year, they will be considered the team of the 2000's nothing more nothing less

    yes it makes a huge difference. maybe not now but in 50 years they will talk about the celtics of the 60's, lakers of the 80's, bulls of the 90's as dynasties.

    if the commissioner of the NBA calls you a dynasty during the ceremony to recieve your le and at the ring ceremony, I think that says it all. The spurs played in the first era with a salary cap (correct me if i am wrong) which introduced parity into the league. No team can dominate like back in the day, because your limited financially, which is good for the overall compe ive balance of the league. For example, the spurs get three studs, but who else are they going to sign, every summer everyone complains about the FO not signing anyone, but their budget is limited since they have three studs making good money. Back in the 80's, the spurs could have signed, I dont know, another very good player, a Gerald Wallace for 11M a year and really put the team over the top. Now you cannot do that due to the cap. Its not like anyone other teams are winning back to back, miami, no, detriot no. And everyone wants to crown the lakers for next year with Bynum, we will see, because you have to aviod alot of bad things for about 100 games to win a le. Kobe will be playing all this summer and is 30, I doubt he will be fresh next year after playing in june this year assuming they beat the spurs in game 5, 6 or 7. So that could cost them homecourt next year and they are playing on the road vs. NO, HOU, another upstart like POR or maybe at SA. Just like the spurs this year.

    Yeah it's sad that in 50 years no one is going to remember Larry Bird's Celtics, Isiah's Pistons or Dr. J's Sixers.

    All history will remember is who won. The Spurs as of now have 4 in 9 years, they will not be forgotten.
