and that's it. No need in trying to compare them to any great teams of the past because they haven't accomplished anything great. You beat a team you were supposed to beat. You were favored... no surprises here. Not only that... you dont have any great players on your team... not 3, not 2, not 1. So settle down and enjoy this le and stop making asses of yourselves again.![]()
This team would have Shaq in cardiac arrest by halftime.
Hey... is Kiwi inhaling that cigar? What a tool...lol
This team is an all-time great one that has a style that would send a lot of great teams into duress. Don't sleep on this team, it's not a fluke that we won how we did — that is the game we play.
Its a good thing I don't have a short memory. This is the exact same team that blessed us with the biggest choke job in sports history last season. Now you claim its a great team. Name one great player on this team, and I will show you role player numbers. Every great team had great players. From my Lakers, to the Bulls, to the Pistons, to the Celtics, to the Sixers. This Spurs team is the best assembled team of losers. And you have to give them credit for finally winning.
I'm glad Luva is back to normal. We held hands last night as a great foe was defeated, but today is the start of a new NBA season. Lakers vs. Spurs banter shall now resume.
Byron Scott![]()
What do you mean?
And the biggest redemption in sports history.
(I still think the '84 Lakers were the biggest choke in NBA history, though. The Spurs choked for 28 seconds, while Magic choked for 3 games).
How was the stomach feeling after that collapse, Luva?
It was not the biggest choke job of sports history.How many sports do you watch? Teams often lose leads late into the quarter, it was just made a lot worse because it was in the Finals.
Yes, it was a choke, but it was a myriad of reasons, not one particular player is to blame. Coaching played the biggest factor, with missed freebies being a problem.
One great player? Tim Duncan. The future great player out of this? Kawhi Leonard — this guy will be a huge star in the league going forward, his ceiling is limitless.
Great players do not assemble the greatest teams, there is no doubt that this team could give fits to the greatest teams listed in history. I'm not saying they are the best team of all time, nor are they in the top 5 — but this team has to be carefully considered one of the best championship teams out of the last few decades. They're so unique, dynamic, electric — that is because it's assembled that every player could take over a game and not just rely on the same few names... Which recent le-winning teams have so many options on offense?
Duncan:
5 rings
3 FMVPS
2 MVPS
Kobe:
5 Rings
2 FMVPs
1 MVP

Luva was young back then... I cried.
Byron Scott is the favorite to coach you next year.
It's no shame that Kobe is ranked lower than Duncan at this point. Duncan has more FMVPs, MVPs, playoff double-doubles, and playoffs minutes. Duncan is a Top-5 all time playing for one of the greatest dynasties in recent memory. No shame losing against a superior player if I were Kobe.
You would think that Luva would be immune to the salt at this point, considering the amount of balls he's had in his mouth.
Spurs going for the back to back tbh
Shaq-Kobe 3 peat team would run a train on this spurs ass I feel.
of course a great team will be favored against everybody. nothing surprising about that
That was their last chance at a le in their 3 year window, and they capitalized on it. I mean, the next Spurs championship will be won in Seattle.
