I've never seen so much spur gotry in one thread
The Spurs are a family. More so than any other NBA franchise, in fact.

Seems that the Laker Fans are the ones most adamantly fighting against the Spur dynasty. Makes sense, they're the most threatened by the idea.
And they shouldn't be. The Lakers are the most successful franchise of all-time, despite having one less than Boston. Their consistency (something they give us for admiring in the Spurs) is what puts them over Boston, who had multiple years as a bottom feeder, something Lakerfans haven't experienced until now.
But the best NBA franchise post-Jordan's Bulls is the Spurs. There's no argument against it. They can't stand the idea because it diminishes Kobe vis a vis Duncan.
And weren't there only 10 teams in the league during Russell's run? That is what makes the Spurs dynasty even better.
Not really, literally no one considers the Spurs a dynasty outside of that article and this dying forum.
Dynasty is a meaningless term in this context, though.
One thing that is factually proven and can't be argued against is that the Spurs are the best NBA franchise of the past 18 years, and pretty much everyone agrees with that aside from the s in LA.
Haven't read the whole thread yet, but that second definition fits the Spurs imvho.
Pretty much. Definition 2 never said, "Consecutive."
That and the fact the Spurs have been one of the elite teams in virtually every NBA facet the past 19 years or so.
mono with the goods. Basically this, but I know if we're going by Mitch's first definition the Lakers would never classify as a dynasty either as they've never remained consistent champs ala the Russell Celtics or Jordan Bulls.
... is this real life?
I can see your point on not repeating =/= Dynasty....it's a fair argument.
How bout this...when they talk about the Spurs they always use the phrase "model franchise". That to me is just as important as being called a dynasty. We're the organization that everyone tries to copy.

Mono owning es while not taking sides
How about this definition of "dynasty": last playoff game played at age 33?
Lots of salty Laker gots in this thread
If LA won in 99 no doubt they claim it as legit. No talk of asterisk until Phil said that , then there was an excuse.
So I guess the SI issue was biased in 07 when they had the Spurs on the cover which said the Quiet Dynasty and other sports writers who have wrote on it since???
Sports Illustrated just said tranny Rousey is the most dominant athlete in the world over Mayweather and Lebron...calm the down
Especially Laker fans after the 2nd round.
First, Nash was never injured
Second, Amare was too stupid not to not get baited.
Third, the Lakers 87 and 88 * les were possible not because players were suspended for two games, but because the league suspended half the Houston roster and Roy Tarpley for life because the Rockets and the Mavs were the Lakers biggest threat.
Fourth, 37 FTs in a game 7, most of them coming after they were down 15
Fifth, 27 FTs in the fourth quarter
Sixth, Another 37 FTs in a game 7, and again after they were down big in the fourth, this time in the finals.
Seventh, Injuring Thomas and he STILL scored 25 pts in the fourth
Eighth, nobody cares about the 82 championship
Ninth, claiming 5 les from Minneapolis
Neither were the Lakers.
Which further shows how inaccurate and useless your dictionary definition is.
Doesn't seem that way. Just a cursory search will prove other

Facts don't matter to a Laker fan unless they prove the Lakers are #1, which they don't, because they aren't.
Thats some dynasty when your team gets swept in the conference finals, the semi finals, loses to an 8th seed as a 1 seed and never repeats.
Spurs = paper champs
