Same thing as 2001. Spurs had old ass Bruce Bowen, old ass Michael Finley and Ime Udoka out there trying to guard Kobe no speed or athleticism on the perimeter whatsoever

what about 2002 and 2004

they already had bowen

02 Spurs had rookie Parker and no Manu. They almost got knocked out by the Sonics that year. The showed showed is how amazing Duncan is if anything

When you have 5 titles...over 3 decades...you don't really have a "nemesis"...

And if anyone had the last laugh it is Swag Antonio...lakers have literally been the worst team in the west and one of the worst teams in the league since The Spurs swept them...

Lets be honest here... San Antonio will never have the last laugh over a franchise like the Lakers. I mean the Lakers have more titles in the 80s alone than the Spurs have in their existence. Hell in this same time span you speak of the Lakers have the same amount of titles that the Spurs have.

^^^^^^^^

Exactly and not to mention that had nothing to do with Kobe being their #1 nemesis of all time.

Brah, that was only a year ago. I hope you realize this only the sixth time the Lakers have missed the playoffs...over the span of 7 decades. It's cute though, you guys have done good in those 3 decades(er, 18 years, not 3 decades ) and all but I'll take the complete domination of the league since it's incarnation over lucking out on landing Tim Duncan in the year Robinson got hurt.

Tim duncan never had the luxury of missing the playoffs and resting up goat

 

[Damnshow]

Antonio Daniels was the 2nd best Spurs player in that series

Bu-bu-bu-but Kobe had Shaq

Watching these old clips is just




I miss those days man. Kobe, Shaq, AI, Vince, even McGrady, KG, Ray Allen of old, etc.


Last great era of basketball imo. Great teams, real rivalries, playoffs were exciting.




And what's even more impressive is that Kobe was slicing San Antonio while they were the best defensive team in the league

Edit: Watching these highlights, it's amazing Kobe didn't win MVP

 

[Kaypain]

None of you nikkas watched these games

Yeah but Duncan only put up 20ppg like 2 in the last decade...including a 15ppg season. He's been resting
