lol why?
He is rating teams based on their entire history in the league. The Bulls greatness is mostly limited to the 90's.
The Spurs as a franchise...
-4 Championships
-Only former ABA team to win a Championship
-3rd Highest Winning percentage in NBA all time
-2nd Highest Winning percentage in NBA Finals history
-Have only missed the playoffs 4 times in team history
-Up until this year, they had the most division titles (16) out of any team in the league during their existence (32 yrs). Lakers were second with 15, but tied them this year.
-Have made the playoffs 19 of the last 20 yrs, only missing one year when Robinson was injured during the season (the year that got them the #1 pick in the draft, and Duncan).
there is a reason he says they are "comfortably" in the 3rd spot.

With all the history behind the Lakers and Celtics, that 3rd spot is actually like the 1 spot in the NBA. The rest of the franchises are gunning for that spot. Maybe someday the Lakers and Celtics will be remembered as NBA past, and other teams will finally have a chance to build up their title numbers. Actually, it would make the league more interesting. But I'm not ready to see it yet. ;)

^LOL...wtf u talkin about?
anyways...it's Lakers at number 1, and it's not even close. we've brought the league more dynasties, more winning seasons, went to the finals countless times, we stay in the news no matter what, and have stayed consistent throughout the years. our biggest stars were bigger than your biggest stars (Magic>Bird, West>Cousy, Wilt>Russell, Kareem>McHale, Worthy>DJ etc)... the only thing Celtics have on us is a couple more titles, the majority of which was won in the 60s, when there were only 8 teams. LMAO. come on, hack...you know whats really good deep down inside. 8)

I quoted why dude justified ranking the Lakers #1. Are you like the Rush Limbaugh of Laker fans, we have to step in line with you.
My main argument, Celtics won more titles but also had more losing season. Even in the 90's, well the Lakers didn't win a title, they still were competitive, Celtics sucked. This era, Kobe and KG are leading their teams to more titles, lets hold off on the argument and see what happens and which teams get their titles before LeBron starts winning all of them.
As for saying the Spurs are like #1, it's cause we all know one and two in the NBA. Switch it up, do whatever. Anyone who says any franchise not named Lakers or Celtics is top 2, then they are smoking. So being number 3 is a great thing. Also, someday the Lakers and Celtics wouldn't be great, Lakers it really doesn't happen, hasn't in franchise history, but who knows. And other teams will win titles, and that's a good thing for the NBA, it makes it more interesting. Now I would love for the Lakers to win every year, but fans of the other 29 teams would hate that. But that's a while away, with Pierce and KB and Gasol and Kobe all in their primes. So until then, lets see the great franchises rake up titles.

making the Lakers #1 is like putting the Cardinals ahead of the Yankees for the best MLB team ever LOL
gotta go with the most titles, not a team that's below .500 in NBA finals appearances

when you make the finals, win or lose, that means you're a top team in the league...lakers have remained a top team in the league for much longer than the celtics. it's common sense, man. LOL. why even argue it? especially when u consider that the celtics did most their damage in an ancient era and the fact that there was less than a third of the teams there are nowadays in the league at that time :-X...PeACe
