So Simmons, if your beloved Celtics won, would it still would be a *?
Of course not, it would be a "triumph".
GTFO Homer boy.

Basically says everyone was out of shape that year. A definite asterisk
Then goes on to say 2003 spurs team was one of the worst supporting casts of all le teams.

He's right about the 2003 team tbh, that championship was all Duncan. Top 3-5 player of all time doing Top 3-5 player of all time things.
That 99 team was a solid team but that year was much like the 94-95 season where Jordan walked away.. Teams were either too young or too old to compete with Timmy Legend.
The guest was terrible and he brought the hate tbh..Simmons just tagged along. That guy honestly didn't know ..he thought the 03' team played the Cavs lol
And anybody that says and puts an asterisk on 99'..Ok that's cool as long as you put it next to LeBron in 12' and oh btw that means he truly only has 1 ring..and he can't be in the GOAT conversation with only 1 ring.
'03 Duncan was a beast
Who in cares
Simmons is a trolling and seems like he's desperate for attention.
He's a Celtic fan bitter their tank for Duncan failed and a SSOL fan bitter their playoff runs failed at the hands of the Spurs.
Who gives a about what Bill Smmon's opinion is on anything.
A lot like this year.
Money depleted since ESPN dumped him.
Many people.
Curious how 2003 Spurs would fare in current NBA.Part of me thinks they can win or come up woefully short.
Pre-2004 rules favored postup players b/c of illegal defense (couldn't double w/o the ball) thus it would be difficult to have an offense dependent on dumping the ball to one player every time down the floor. That's the reason why Shaq became a point center when he moved to Miami.
would 2003 had been bad if Paul Pierce not chocked at the freethrow line against the Nets and they somehow had made the finals?
But Antoine Walker was out of shape.
Celtics won most of their championships when math professors were basketball players
Spurs fans need to get this in their spirit......validation comes from within!!!! We (our team) has accomplished more than any other sports franchise in the modern era and yet we act so thin skin when someone refuse to acknowledge the obvious. Learn to smile at those haters and keep it moving. Their life and lack of success (their team wise) should be punishment enough for their indiscretions. When your the leader you must lead......period!!
I'm ok with the 99 asterisk if he also gives lebron and Wade one for 2012.
The 2003 argument is bogus though. In that case you need to give nearly every champ from the western conference finals an asterisk ever since Jordan retired. The east has been a joke.
Kawhi didn't even have a full training camp as a rookie that season.
Thought that the 03 team being a supporting cast was the general consensus... reasoning for it being TD's signature year.
