Spurs are the greatest franchise of the past 15 years

[T_L_P]

The spurs pretty easily win this, due to the Lakers down years in the middle of the 2000's and the recent down years imo

Yep. Not to mention that they don't have L.A.'s resources and only one transcendent player has walked through the door.

Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat have a combined 18 finals appearances and 13 titles in the last 16 seasons...

Spurs are the best at consistently being contenders
Lakers are the best at recovering from problems to get back to the top
Heat are just lucky that refs and FAs like them

Lakers finished as a top 4 seed 9x in the past 15 years, they also have had years finishing 11th and 14th in their conference (and 3x finishing 7th)

Spurs finished as a top 4 seed 14x in the past 15 years.... This is a ridiculous stat about elite level consistency at an elite level...
