Just to be clear , I am also a proponent of the team>player mindset. Players come and go. but the team is forever. I've always thought this and have said it several times on here. If Tim Duncan left back in 2001 I would still want him to do well but best believe that I wouldnt be rooting for him over Los Spurs. When Tim Duncan retires and Steph Curry takes the reigns as my favorite player in the league, he still will not become a priority over the Spurs winning.

You guys really think that this 50 win season thing is that unimportant? That can be enough to sway a person IMO. Consistency is something to marvel at especially since we did it in a small market. Merton is right on the money with his assessment of the two teams since 99.Obviously, 5 championships outweighs 4. No one can deny this.No one is going to take the Spurs' achievements over the Lakers from '99 to present day, that's just a joke. Spurs' case is indefensible.
The way I look at it, Spurs did a better job with what they were given. Small market team winning 4 championships in the span they did is unheard of in the NBA. They never land any superstars in trades, never acquire any big names in free agency, have good management, best coach in the NBA, and have a great system overall. The Lakers have always been in a much better situation to succeed since 99, and have done that. But the Spurs have overachieved big time and are still doing that to this day.
