The Undercover Dynasty

The San Antonio Spurs, despite ESPN's love affair with Chris Paul, defeat the Hornets to move onto the Western Conference Finals. The Spurs have won 4 NBA titles since 1999 but nobody seems to call them a dynasty. Why? I have a few reasons why. When they won their first in 1999, the Chicago Bulls dynasty had just wrapped up winning 6 titles in 8 years. Further, the Lakers would win 3 in a row after that 1999 season.

However, give credit where it is due. This team is consistent. Every final they have been in, they have won. Although Tim Duncan is a Hall of Famer, they lack a super duper star like most NBA Championship teams (Jordan, Shaq, Hakeem).

The Spurs, San Antonios only professional sports team, get lost way down there in south Texas. Yet, they are a true team. All their parts move together for one purpose.
