Hey Jimbo didn't the Spurs lose to the Lakes most years they didn't make it and the Lakers went on to win it all? I would think thats contending, I don't think any of us rode off the Spurs for the title much in the decade. They can win 40 games, make the playoffs and people still say 'Don't rule out the Spurs' LOL
And Scotty if you say that about Jordan then Russ and his MVPs, all stars, ncaa title, olympic gold, 11 rings, hof, greatest 50 blah blah beats out MJ's ones. The man didn't set a foot wrong for 15 years but thats another thread.
Spurs Overall Record throughout this period 523-215 .709
Lakers Overall Record throughout this period 463-275 .627
Can't argue with the facts
I really find it interesting that there's even other teams in the poll and would love to know why people voted for the Cavs and Detroit.

fair point jimbo... however:
spurs for me with their SUSTAINED CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING success... i know a 3 peat is an extraordinary feat but doing it like the spurs over such a long period of time and getting themselves up for it, is more impressive... plus theyve consistently changed their team around duncan/manu/parker so there have been large adjustment periods for other guys who were stars on their teams to mesh with that group with, for me, makes it even more impressive...egos were always left at the door... plus pop wouldnt put up with that garbage and anyone who disrupts team synergy & harmony
fair effort by pop to get that team to the top of the mountain so many times
Surely the Lakers have this debate sewn up now???
Agreed. In the last decade 4 Championships, 6 Finals Appearances.
Spurs - 4 Championships, 4 Finals Appearances.
Lakers > Spurs
And hey, it's no wonder either.
Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant both make an excellent case to be the best player of the post-MJ generation/era. While the Spurs have had great players too and Tony Parker and Ginobili are no scrubs, Tim Duncan should feel he's done pretty well for himself to have won 4 rings without another truly elite player by his side.
Although the first one, with him and Admiral in the frontcourt was definately no pushover haha.
Worst thread ever.
Umm, that's ring - plural.You either haven't voted or didn't vote for the Celtics....pretty much like everyone else by the looks of it!!
How does that Beatles song go...Can't BUY me love?
(I think they do mention that money can buy rings though!!)
