Are you kidding me?
I'm not a huge NBA fan...in fact, not much of one at all. But, this talk of San Antonio as one of the all time great teams is hogwash. I'm hearing words like Dynasty thrown around...are you kidding me? Here's my arguement...
1. They were one play away from getting eliminated in the second round by Phoenix. If Robert Horey doesn't cheap shot Nash...Phoenix wins that series going away.
2. They couldn't get past the "gimmick" that is the Dallas Mavericks last year to even make it to the NBA finals.
3. Other than their first championship (with David Robinson in the middle), they have been the equivalent of the "world tallest midget"...the league is so diluted right now...there just aren't ANY great teams.
4. To mention them in the same breath as the two great Celtic dynasties, the Bulls of the 90's, the Show Time Lakers...c'mon.
I feel better now. Thanks for allowing the rant.

How can you argue with 4 championships in 9 years?
The Celtics (16, mostly before the modern era) were the dynasty of their time, as were the Lakers (14, again, most before the modern era), as were the Bulls (6, but all in the new age). The Spurs won 4. No one else is close.
If the Bulls were a dynasty, then so are the Spurs.
And, think of it this way: If any team in the SEC were to win 4 SEC championships in 9 years, they'd be the team of that decade...and considered among the greatest of all time.
