    I said with a bit of Kobe. 2000 Shaq is the most dominant player in history.

    Next season Kobe and Shaq were 1a and 1b but in 200 it was 95% Shaq

    Yet you disregard the fact that Kobe had the biggest games/moments of that Playoff run with Game 7 WCF and Game 4 Finals OT, also a Game-winner against the Suns

    08 Celtics won more games than anyone else in the regular season, and beat LeBron, Kobe and the Pistons. What else could they have done?

    Why use the Cavs as a measuring stick for the Spurs though? Yeah, the Cavs sucked, but Spurs vs Suns was the de facto Championship series that year.

    faced the Nuggets with a young Melo, Suns with Amare & Diaw getting suspended for no reason and Horry hip check (Suns deserved to win that series) and Jazz with young D-Will & Boozer

    Finals a very raw Lebron and bunch of scrubs with Mike Brown as coach

    07 weakest title
    This.. By far the weakest of the 4 Spurs title teams.. Wait, 5 now..

    Their 2006 team was better.. a lot

    I don't think you know the meaning of "overrated"...

    How can the 2 below ones be overrated, when it's acknowledged the 2011 Mavericks mainly won because LeBron's brain cramp and the 2006 Heat get accused of winning due to Wade's free throw fest?

    The 03 team doesn't even compare to the 07 team.

    Just because the 07 competition was the weakest, that doesn't mean the team is too.

    2002 Lakers deserve an asterisk . Basically the King's championship.

    2009 Lakers were just as bad too. Worst competition of any title team in the past decade. Garnett injured. Needed seven games to beat a Yao-less Rockets team led by Aaron Brooks. Played a Nuggets team led by two chuckers in Melo and Jr Smith. In the Finals, they played an injured Magic team who's best weapon on offense was Hedo Turkoglu .
