Only Kobe and Fisher have as much, but the Lakers have only been billed as contenders for about 9 years (2000-2004) and (2008-2011). 7 finals appearances, 5 Chips. It feels like as if the Spurs were billed as contenders as far back as 1999 (17 years), yet in those 17 years they gone to the finals 6 times and won 5. The old "don't count the Spurs out they're a different beast in the playoffs" narrative has gotten stale af.
People been saying the Spurs were two years away from being irrelevant since 2006 at least.
