Yeah unless the Spurs win in the next two season the Lakers have the Team of the Decade locked up. Doesn't really matter because Duncan's career still ranks above Kobe's.
Pretend your index finger is 1999. Start counting the years, with each subsequent year being a different finger. Let me know if you get to 2009 or run out of fingers first.

Congratz Lakers fans this was a long wait and a deserved Championship. I feel like i did in 2000 pleasantly surprised how easy it came and positive that the Lakers will not only be in the mix but be the one stirring the Championship drink from now on for the next few years. And yes the Team of the Decade dispute is over. Lakers took it easily. Even if you include the spurs 99 le, which I generously do, the Lakers 3peat trumps them since they couldn't even repeat once. The Lakeshow is Team of the Decade again. Celebrate Laker fans, even spurs fans recognize their them is a notch below.
Someone please lock this thread and end this stupid debate. Lakers and Spurs were clearly the two best teams in the 00's, just leave it at that. They both did amazing things with all time great players.
Well.... The Lakers ARE the greatest of all time. You could easily argue the Celtics are because they have 2 more championships.... but according to the logic all the Spurs fans employ... its about being consistent andthe best winning %. The Lakers have the best winning % and have been more consistent over the decades than any other team. Case closed!
I don't know a single Laker fan, and I know a lot, that feels the team should be handed a le. It takes hard work, dedicatioin, talent, and luck. The Lakers just do it better than the rest. Are we fans spoiled... sure. That's what makes being a Laker fan so coooooooool!
As for the hate... it comes with the territory. Its why I hate your Cowboys, the Yankees, and the Red Wings. Everyone wants the top dog to fall a few pegs. It's what being a fan is all about.
The 2000 NBA Championship was from the 1999-2000 season...
Explain to me how 1999 belongs in this decade?
Lakerfan can't have it both ways...
2000-2001 (1)
2001-2002 (2)
2002-2003 (3)
2003-2004 (4)
2004-2005 (5)
2005-2006 (6)
2006-2007 (7)
2007-2008 (8)
2008-2009 (9)
That's a total of 9 NBA seasons thus far in this decade... seasons which have yielded a total of 3 les apiece to both San Antonio and LA.
So like I said before, next season will present the possibility for either team to break the tie... and Lakerfan should be happy his team is in a better position to accomplish just that...
Holy people, STOP!!!
Yet another moron.
The le won Sunday was for 2009. Next years will be 2010.
I could care less if you want to call the Lakers or the Spurs the team of the decade. It's not a le or anything. There are no trophies.
But the moronic comments like above that distort all common sense and logic are just totally absurd. If you ask who won the 72 le.... what is the answer?
If you answer anything other that the Wilt-West Lakers then you are just as ignorant as this Phenomanul bag.
If you ask 100 people... 98 will say the Lakers won that year and 2 idiots like the above poster will say the Knicks.
Ohhhhh... and to answer this "Explain to me how 1999 belongs in this decade?"
1/3 of the season is played before the new year and 2/3 after. Figure it out from there genius.

LOL where the do you think 2010 lies? That sure as isn't in the '00 decade by your logic, which means you have defined a 9 year period which is NOT a decade. ing moron.
Good God, it's enough that we're arguing over something arbitrary but your dumbass has to take it to another level.
Yeah, but I rather get 3 les in 3 years than 3 les in 6 years!
I remember you and I going back and forth a couple months ago. I don't have the time to look those post up. But if I remember right you said you will give this Laker team your respect if they won it. Maybe you already done it but like I said I don't really want to go through all your posts.
you are a dumbass sir. Dr. House alone in his little world. Have fun play nice with your imaginary friends
Well put. Fans from both teams will interpret things as they see to their advantage...both teams were the best in the decade, both had some unfortunate events happen that might've changed the amount of rings they won, both had ups and downs, both had injuries, both have had some of the best players ever on their teams. They accomplished their goals with different styles and personalities but both can come away saying that was a damn successful decade.
As for the future which is what we should be talking about, the lakers obviously have the upper hand, but who knows what will happen. Spurs are one good young player away from being right there.
Holy you're all still going? :wgaf:
Dr.House...you're one stupid head.
Don't be such a hater...
26 rings, !!!
Hilarious!!!
LAkers won first le this decade in 2000 I know i was at staples when Kobe lobbed to Shaq to finish off the Blazers ...
Were you also there in 2003 when the Spurs shut down the Staples Center on their way to an NBA Championship?
Wasn't 2003 a re-building year where Tim Duncan played like he was a whole team?Were you also there in 2003 when the Spurs shut down the Staples Center on their way to an NBA Championship?
1. Memphis/La
2. Spurs
