The Mavs did this, correct?
I don't see a franchise as storied as the Lakers doing the same.
Now that the Finals are over and the Lakers, uh, I mean the Fakers, have received their WC championship trophy, I wonder if they will schedule a ceremony to raise their WC Championship banner to the rafters during the regular season opener?

You do realize that LA is one of only 2 franchises that don't raise conference (29) or division (28) banners.
And the Spurs aren't the other one.
lakers will also retire Sasha Jersey
Rather "doors blown off" by 39 points![]()
Actually, the last time I went to the AT&T center, I did not see individual banners for every division le. They had the championship banners, and then 1 banner with all the years for each division le...
Actually, I'm pretty sure the Spurs hung a second division banner because they ran out of room on the first one!![]()
you mean conference le?
I bet you one hundred billion dollars that you couldn't find a conference or division champs banner in the AT&T Center.
Since the Spurs have never won the conference and not gone on to win the championship, I don't think they hang the WC banners, just the championships. I could be wrong though...
Yeah, I was going to say that when the Spurs win the conference and would be able to raise a conference banner, they have the decency to follow that up with a championship banner.
So sorry we don't date back to an era when there were a total of six teams in the playoffs, and when dunking was something cops did with donuts.![]()
Oh yea congrats for the Lakers existing longer than the Spurs.
Pretty silly how they claim those les won in Minneapolis as if they have some relevancy. Most people became fans of the Lakers in the West/Baylor era. Who in the cared about the NBA in the 50s?
--Los Angeles Lakers (NBA, 1961-2008) — 9 League Championships and 44 Playoff Appearances--
Still dominant as , and I personally have them higher than Celtics as the greatest NBA franchise since the majority of their les came in a much tougher, salary cap era. That said, Los Angeles Laker Fan should quit acting like he was there to witness Mikan dominating a key that actually looked like a key.
So the Celtics should not hang up 11 of their division les that they won in the 1960's era?
No, everbody should be able to hang thier accomplishments if they want. No matter how long ago it was, no matter if they are division les or conference ones and so on. Spurs have only been in NBA for like 35 years, compared to the Lakers and Celts they are still a young. Sorry we celebrated our accomplishments.
If you read DAC, he was talking about the NBA in the 50s not the 60s. By what he wrote, he counts everything in the 60s, so that would include anything both the lakers AND celtics did in that time.
AND....the Spurs do not have conference le banners hanging.
pathetic attempt for lakers fan to take a shot at Spurs/Spurs fan.
Yet you dont think the original topic was a pathetic attempt for a spurs fan to take a shot at Lakers/Lakers fans?
I thought it was a shot at the Mavericks![]()
i never said that. I think that there are a lot of people who make posts to "take shots" at other fans....not all are good, case in point this one and anything made by 21_blessings.......anybody seen/heard from that guy!?

You mean other than the smaller, black banners hanging to the north of the NBA championship banners -- other than the ones that say "Western Conference Champions 1999", "Western Conference Champions 2003," "Western Conference Champions 2005," and "Western Conference Champions 2007"
