Where Do the 2014 Spurs Rank Among Top Teams In Past 15 Years?

If we consider the past 15 years to be the post-Jordan era, where does this year's Spurs team rank in that?
You've got the Lakers of the early 2000s, the other Spurs champions, the 2008 Celtics, and the last two Heat champions in the conversation, I think.
This Spurs team might have been the best of them all, though. Perhaps the 2000-2002 Lakers would have been better. Not sure how this Spurs team handles Shaq in his prime.
Thoughts?

Not sure on all, but I think this was the best Spurs team ever. They simply dominated the Heat. I would have to put them in the conversation of the elite Lakers teams and the 2012 Heat. I would think somewhere around 3rd best.

I'll probably get guff for saying this, but if it were the Celtics, Lakers or Heat who did what the Spurs did, the media and fans would be lauding them as the best ever.
I'm not even a Spurs fan, but they continue to be underrated in the grand scheme of things. The talk all season was of the Pacers, Heat and Thunder, with the Spurs being an afterthought of a talking point.

Hard to say. What hurts them is they went 7 games with an 8 seed and if OKC had Ibaka they might have lost that series.
The 01 Lakers that went 15-1 in the playoffs are still the GOAT of the post MJ era.
I do think they are the best franchise post MJ.

I'd put them below the early 2000 Lakers teams and on par with the 2011-12 Heat team

1) My Heat
2) Lakers
3) Spurs
4) Pistons
5) LeBron

Its hard to say but this Spurs team reminds me of the 80's Lakers and Celtics. Complete teams that were totally unselfish. Winning was the only goal, no one gave a shite who the star was on a particular night.

Best spurs team..I like the Lakers over them with Phil at the helm though

2001 Lakers
2014 Spurs
2008 Celtics
I think those are the top 3. I'm gonna exclude the 2000 and 2002 Lakers just because of redundancy.
