[Texas_Ranger]

[SAtown]

but you're not even mentioning the fact that jordan would have without a doubt won eight in a row if he never decided to play baseball.

But but but Mad Max gave Jordan fits whenever they played, so the Rox would've beaten them anyways...

i love duncan...

you can't say the same thing about duncan (duncan didn't have the dominance that jordan had).

Not without a doubt, The Spurs we're 5-1 against the first bulls 3-peat team. And with the way olajuwon played in the 95 playoffs especially against the bulls centers I think houston would've won.

sorry ing stat line..

heres a real stat line....

Min/LA Lakers since 1949
210 championship rings <~~~ players only

"oh what was that but but but... you werent even there for the minny days and spurs have been there only since 73"

fine... since 72 the lakers have racked up 135 rings compared to 60* the spurs earned.

thats not including executives, coaches, chick hearn, or even jerry buss JUST players...


LOL


funny thing is the spurs have been around nearly as long as the lakers been in los angeles and they have JUST NOW started competing..... the bandwagoners quickly hop off the cowboys football bandwagon and jump on the basketball wagon to sport the black and silver jerseys, flags, and other gaudy crap for your baseline S....

wow, you Laker fans are insecure. This was a Spurs thread, and only the Bulls were brought up. I could see Bulls fans throwing their weight around in this one, since their success was called out. No one brought the Lakers or Celtics into this discussion......well you did.

We all know how successful those two teams have been. We are not idiots. But, we also don't need insecure fans like yourself trying to throw your alleged dominance down our throats.....

The Lakers and Celtics standard speaks for itself. It really doesn't need you fans to spew their accolades in every ing thread.

GO SPURS GO

Most of the championships were in Minneapolis against 5 other NBA teams. Winning back then was easy if you had a good team b/c you only had to compete against 5 or 6 teams. I know it wasn't over 30 teams. How many rings have you won since 2002? Stop talking like you are the defending champs when the Celtics are. Or did you erase that game 6 39 pt loss from your memory. Worst loss ever by a team in the Finals.

[Austin_Toros]

Parker, Ginobili, Bowen 3

Horry, Barry, Udrih, D Robinson, Rose, Kerr 2

Finley, Oberto, Elson, Vaughn, Bonner, Mohammed, Brown, Nesterovic, Massenburg, S Jackson, G Robinson, Claxton, Willis, Ferry, Smith, Johnson, Elliott, J Jackson, Elie, Kersey, Daniels, Perdue, King 1

Some names up there don't deserve a ring IMO. (Eg. Robinson)

[Austin_Toros]

Did Nick Van Exel ever get a ring with us?

[duncan228]

Did Nick Van Exel ever get a ring with us?

No. He came on in the summer of '05, retired at the end of the '05-'06 season.

How long have you been a spurfan?

[kingmalaki]

Yay....the Spurs changed their scrub players more than the Bulls did!!! Both teams had one major transformation. The Bulls went from Grant to Rodman, and the Spurs went from Robinson to Manu & Parker.

[TDMVPDPOY]

to say that he makes tony and manu better than they really are is just false and Ducan's homers best argument.

Tony has just shown in these last games what he could do without Tim. and even with the really poor french national team, even if he lost being badly surrounded, he was awesome recently. i remember some haters saying tony without Tim is at Beno's level . Wake me up when beno put the numbers tony put these seven last games.

For Manu, i think i don't have to explain why he's a great player by himself: look at his results in Italy or with Argentina. He was succesful in every level. Tim wasn't in FIBA.

I'm sure every tim's teamates is thanksful with him because he gave them the most consistent and succesful franchise player of this decade. but he didn't make them better players.

If tim duncan didnt make them better during their rookie seasons, he wouldve demanded a trade or signed in orlando. You make it sound like PARKER AND GINOBOLI came in and contributed alot overnight, these 2 were very streaky in the playoffs which costs us games early in their careers. You remove tim from the squad, this team wouldnt even be winning a playoff series.

TOTAL = 32

That's more than Jordan

Jordan brought 30 people rings.

I could have sworn it was more than 32 people.
