Are the 2013 Spurs better than any team Michael Jordan faced in the NBA finals?

For someone like myself where fitness has been a big part of my life for the past decade, there’s no way I could achieve my fitness goals or be in the shape/condition I want without the gym. You can only go so far with home workouts and when you don’t see or feel any progression after some time, you tend to lose motivation.

i feel you on this. i run 5x a week but spent just as much time in the weight room. something about working out around other folks just clicks for me. while i've been able to run in the neighborhood i miss the gym almost as much as i miss seeing the family and homies. that being said, to get some weight training in i've done research on body weight and dumbbells exercises. lots of good stuff out there, full on workouts that have kept me sane in these times.

you can go a long way with just a pull up bar and a set of powerblocks/bowflex dumbbells.

She was playing overseas, but the coach was threatening to cut her and talking behind her back so she bounced. Played in some tournaments in a few other countries. She got a degree though she should really be getting a desk job :lol:

. Told my little sister she wants a manual labor job. Got hired at Amazon.

EASILY. Finals or conference finals.

The 2012-13 Spurs had a 58-24 record. Which is a great record, but nothing historical.
However, then you look at how many games their key players missed because Pop was resting them:

Duncan (All-NBA 1st team, All-NBA 2nd defensive team): 13 games missed
Parker (All-NBA 2nd team): 16 games missed
Ginobili: 22 games missed
Kawhi: 24 games missed

These four combined missed 75 games. The following 2013-14 season they missed 52 games combined and you could immediately see an improvement in their record (62-20). If that 2012-13 team went all in during the regular season, then that's a team pushing 70 Ws. But they were saving themselves all for the playoffs, which makes winning over them in the finals even more impressive.
