Spurs: A Deceptive Dynasty

They are a dynasty. Their veneer is irrelevant. Yes, their superstar is bland. Their backcourt is foreign. Their small forward is vile. Their power forwards unrecognizable. Their bench is a castoff collection. The San Antonio Spurs have accrued four championships over nine seasons. They are a dynasty.

San Antonio has never stridden through fire. In 1999, they pummeled the eight-seeded New York Knicks 4-1. In 2003, they battered the weaker New Jersey Nets 4-2. In 2005, they defeated the arrogant Detroit Pistons 4-3. This season, they swept the unprepared Cleveland Cavaliers 4-0.

The Spurs are boring. They are programmed. They are monotonous. Simultaneously, they are haughty, obnoxious, and unlikable. With that stated, the Spurs are champions. They may not dominate. They may not shimmer. They may not have vanquished titans. They have garnered four rings. The aforesaid deserves respect, reverence, and the dynasty distinction.
