    Don't care. The Redemption le was far more impressive than any repeat. That was franchise killing stuff that happened and to come back and play historically great basketball enroute to a championship is an amazing feat, much more amazing than beating Dwert and an 75 year old Celtics team when the league was at its weakest.

    The Spurs were just never that dominant...always good but usually "right place, right time". They had an insane amount of luck (Amare/Diaw suspension, cramp game, etc). Throw in that their 99, 03, and 07 finals opponents had no business being in the finals. Its easy to understand why that luck wouldnt ever happen two years in a row.

    Kind of like how they eviscerated the Lakers, then the Celtics, then the Lakers again, then the Heat when they ran their course?

    ESPN jumps on s on a year to year basis.

    And as far as them not winning a le after they just won one the year prior, I dont get hung up on that lame stat. Back to backs are cool and gives the fans something to trash talk about but in the end its just another le and when you count them up, they are still count as one.
    No. Repeating matters. It shows a consistent level of maintained dominance. Case in point. Jordan is known for scoring, yet KAJ is the all-time leading scorer in NBA history. Both have 6 rangs. Media hate of KAJ aside, most fans outside of Laker Nation thinks he is GOAT. Why? Consistent level of dominance by 3peating twice as champion.

    Now I think that flaws the GOAT argument, but I understand why the argument is being made.

    Dominance matters. Repeating championships demonstrates that. Sp*rs haven't shown they are capable of such a feat.

    * denotes NOT repeating as a true championship team should.

    Oh look, laker and suns fans trying to diminish the achievements of the greatest/ most successful franchise in professional sports over the last 2 decades.

    Good thing nobody gives a about these meaningless opinions on a message board and the general public and all basketball experts still know that the Spurs are the greatest NBA team/overall team in professional sports the last 2 decades.

    Team A: B2B2B, B2B, won H2H vs. Team B 4-2*
    Team B: 5 scattered rangs, on the short end of 4-2 schtick, NEVER repeated

    Sometimes 5 does not equal 5.

    This is a team sport. Defending your team's le one year and dropping off the map is a lot less profitable than winning 5 over the course of 15+. This repeat bull is just that, bull . Not the losses dont piss me off immensely - they do. The West-East imbalance is ing ridiculous.
    ^^^ TRUTH. BTW ESPN, haven't watched in a while and won't start soon.Suns fans on ESPN message boards were still ing this year about 07 playoffs and how they were cheated, they never get over it. Spurs owned them so bad it still haunts them.

    Who wants to repeat anyways? Look at the franchises who repeated the past 15 years. Lakers turned into dog with Kobe demanding a trade and missing the playoffs and the 2nd time they did it they went to after. Look at them now, they're the laughing stock of the NBA and won't contend for a le for many years to come. The Heat went all out and had to bring together 3 superstars in their prime to repeat but what future do they have now? They may not ring in another 20 years. Spurs are tied with the Lakers for most les in the past 20 years. 18 consecutive playoff appearances, 16 50+ win seasons despite never signing a big name free agent or having a high draft pick. And guess what? They drafted the DPOY and a Finals MVP with the 15th pick in the 2011 draft.

    Lakers
    Heat
    Kobe
    Have fun sucking for the next 10 years

    Matters to whom? Re ed lakerfan minds?

    That doesn't proof . You dont need to be repeating every year to show dominance.

    This is only a phenomenon in the NBA. You dont see this kind of talk in other sports.

    If you had it your way, would you rather have back to back les or 3..4 or more over a span of say 15 years? Answer should be a pretty easy one to make.

    Repeating is an arbitrary concept.

    Winning two out of three championships (W-L-W) is equally impressive as winning two and then losing one (W-W-L). Mathematically, they're the same. To suggest otherwise is irrational.
