Spurs are NOT A DYNASTY

Some lovely ladies on that show

Brent Musberger would agree!!

The word dynasty is overused just as much as the word genius is. A dynasty is Bill Russell's Celtics. Not the San Antonio Spurs.

Thank you. It's like the Hall of FAME and the Hall of VERY GOOD. There is a difference. Being good for a long time does not make you a hall of FAMEr.

The Spurs have a few dubious titles, and they always seem to capitalize when other teams are injured or something else happens. Being a great team for a long time just doesn't qualify FOR ME. That's my opinion. I want to see some rings, back to back rings, some DOMINANCE for an extended period of time, not a glimpse of greatness one year......then another a few years later..........then again a few years after that.....

they are a very solid squad and have had the core together forever.........if they arent a dynasty they are as close has you can get

You kind of have an argument going until you say something completely asinine like "dubious" titles. Really? I hope you chose your words poorly because if not, that is such a dumbass statement. There are no dubious titles. You wanna downgrade the Heat this year because Rose got hurt? Or Westbrook? Every champion gets there through hard work and good fortune. There's nothing dubious about it.

What else can they do?

in the last 24 years:

15 consecutive 50 win seasons (NBA record)
17 consecutive 50 win equivalent seasons (NBA record)
21 acutual 50 win seasons (NBA record for a 24 year stretch)
23 first/2nd place seasons (NBA record for a 24 year stretch)
23 49 win or more seasons. (NBA record for a 24 year stretch)
4 NBA titles
5 Finals Appearances
9 conference finals
18 2nd round appearances
only 5 first round exits

24 years!!
I cannot wrap my mind around how long the run has been.

They will be in the top 3 teams again next year.

Forget the dark ages without free agency, salary caps, and only 8 teams.

The Spurs did this remarkable 24 year run with modern restrictions and the smallest TV market

I can safely predict that no team will ever eclipse the 24 year run of the 1989-2013 Spurs.

It is better than a Dynasty as a Spurs fan. Much better than a dynasty.

My team has been great for my entire lifetime.

By your strictest definition of dynasty then there can be only one!!!!

Rather than say the Spurs are not a dynasty why not say there are super duper not even human dynasties*, awesome dynasties**, and Dynasties***.


*Russell's Celtics
**80s Lakers and Cs, 90s Bulls, Shaq's Lakers
***Current Spurs, maybe the Heat, Kobe's Lakers
