Lakers dominance video nxt
I'm going to use your code to make purchases then make a bunch of returns.
Build a 10man all time nba team for the next video
To put it in perspective, 20 straight years of not missing the playoffs is the longest streak by a single team across all major American sports. No other team in any sport has been as successful over a 20 year span as the Spurs have, not the Lakers, not the Celtics, not the Yankees, not the Patriots, no one. Let that sink in.
I think the Sixers tied it but yeah still crazy impressive
@@tylermeinhold6384 🤫 let me cook
Pats had 6 rings and 10 superbowl appearances that is way more valuable than 20 straight playoff appearances and they would've broke that too if Brady didn't miss a season
That's what happens when you have two big men that can anchor your entire offense and defense from 1993-2013 (Drob and Timmy). And for the first decade of that dynasty Drob and Timmy carried both.
And only 5 championships to show for it lmao, it only matters what you do in the playoffs
Praying one day the Spurs get that epic 30 for 30 they deserve because this dynasty is truly movie like in all the twist and turns and epic battles they were a part of.
whats 30 for 30
@Enlightened_SpursFan essentially just a documentary
@@TheKazu42 oh okay thanks
check out the documentary series the Spurs made about themselves called Ring of the Rowel
This was basically 30 for 30 lol
I grew up with Tim Duncan and now I get to grow old with Wemby! So blessed to be a Spurs fan.
I grew up with David Robinson so how old does that make me?!
@@MrGHawaiiold as hell
Wemby broke a record tonight :D
@@ElijiahCater-xg9dqok boomer
You're getting old fast. Maybe a change in diet is in order.
The Timmy-Tony-Manu trio is the single most successful (both in games and titles won) in NBA history.
Their win percentage over the course of their career is also just unbelievable, it's not only longevity.
I rest my case.
havlicek or heinsohn with sam and bill...
@@razkableTMT still better
As a spurs fan, I was blessed growing up seeing the most consistent franchise in the league compete year in and year out. These last few years have been tough, but all that has been worth it to see this young man Victor Wembanyama in a Spurs uniform. He is a worthy successor to Timmy and David, cementing the Spurs as contenders for the next decade. His potential on the court is only outpaced by his maturity, competitiveness and love for the game of basketball. Even non Spurs fans should be happy that we all get to watch this guy play.
Couldn't have said it better as a Spurs fan. I was lucky enough to see the big 3 growing up. I see flashes of that 2010s version with our young squad now. A 3 and D wing and great point guard with some luck should see the Spurs hang banner six in the coming years.
Does Timmy have any interest in coaching? Having him coach Wemby would be amazing
@@extragoogleaccount6061he still works with the team but isn't an assistant coach anymore I believe. He does something with development
@@extragoogleaccount6061 nah! Basketball was a job to him. He is currently mentoring Wemby tho
@@TheN-Guyyou guys have a lot of picks too, and some high upside ones. I can’t believe TOR traded a T6 protected 1st for Poeltl on an expiring, (after he turned down like 4/65 or something too) especially bc they knew they’d have to pay him at least near 20M/y. It’s not like they were a contender, or even a good playoff team…or even a good team lol. They were fighting for a play in spot! They sent a 2nd too.
It’s even crazier bc TOR drafted Poeltl pretty high in the draft, and traded him w DeMar for Kawhi a couple years in to his career. Full circle. Such an awful trade though, for the pick to be not only that lightly protected, but also protected for 3y. So even if TOR does hit in the lotto this draft, while they’ll likely be better next year, SAS will still have two more cracks at it. Imagine if they end up trading like pick 8 for Poeltl? Wild.
But ya SAS has rly adapted w the times. They weren’t a team that really traded a lot, didn’t seem like they’d be one to fully tear it down and rebuild. But they did, and yea they got super lucky getting Wemby…but they were really good collecting assets before and after that. Getting the assets for DeMar, hitting on non premium picks like Keldon, (Derrick White but that was before, Keldon kinda was too but w/e…they’ve always been great at finding gems in the draft) Vassell at 11 was one of the only good picks in that range beside the (in hindsight, though I was shocked he fell that far) obvious.
The Dejounte trade was great, sold at peak value. Those picks could be valuable, they seem very shaky. Obviously in hindsight Derrick White is worth more, but at the time it seemed like a nice haul. Just making sure they get high upside stuff sprinkled in too, like the ‘28 BOS swap and ‘30 DAL swap. Most likely they won’t matter much, but you never know.
Then they’ve kept their books clean. Keldon’s contract is good and descending, he’s not progressing as you’d like right now, but he still has potential and I think he will at least end up as a good rotation player. Even if he just ends up as a good 5th guy or even a 6th man, he’ll still be underpaid or fairly paid w the cap going up. And the Vassell contract is v solid. 5y, no player option, it’s structured perfectly for the TV deal kicking in in 25-26 and there likely being 10% raises for that year and the next couple at least…as well as when Wemby’s extension will be. As long as he stays healthy it’ll age very well.
I’m curious what they’ll do this summer, especially with a good lotto pick coming and possibly another w TOR’s…as well as plenty of $. I’m a DET fan and it’s unfortunate to have incompetent ownership, one of the worst things possible bc they don’t get fired lol. Gotta give props to the front office there, Pop, RC, and obv the owner for letting the bball people do the bball stuff. I’ll still never forgive Horry for that shot in the Finals, and who knows what happens if DET drafts Bosh, Melo, or Wade…but it is what it is. Enjoy having a historically competent franchise, bc ever since Tom Gores bought DET it’s been awful. Hopefully the SAS owner keeps it as long as possible and has a good successor. GL.
It's always nice being a Dallas native and seeing the Spurs nearly constantly out manage the mavs.
Down for a Luka for Sochan trade? 😊
@rafikz77 Best I can do is Keldon and picks. We'll sign him in free agency soon enough 😂
Whats it like being a Mavs fan? Like the Spurs little brother...
@@Yahurr 🤣
@@MrGHawaiilol I would love the Mavs to have five rings but our one ring is special. I hope Luka brings a couple more.
A 1 hour video of my favorite team...Couldn't have asked for anything better!
GSG!
I know right 😊
Not gonna lie the original big 3 spoiled us spurs fans with so many rings and playoff wins. Im ready for victor to bring bacl those good times
2000's spurs is basically the warriors of the late 2010's. Fans born into luxury
When you see how singular the Fisher .04 shot, and the ‘06 Manu foul on Dirk felt, it’s easier to see how us Spurs fans point to the ZaZa foul as such a meaningful moment in terms of who ultimately would’ve won the series.
The problem with that thinking is that it is based off part of one game. There are multiple examples throughout NBA history of teams being in the ascendancy early and still losing the series. The 01 finals is the prime example. AI dragging his 76ers to a win over the much more favoured Lakers didnt lead to them winning the title,, or even making it a competitive series. They lost 4 straight. Kawhi definitely wouldve made it a competitive series,, but ive seen people, Spurs fans and not, say his availability wouldve meant the Spurs definitely win that series. Thats just ridiculous
@@roronoazorro9509Giannis and the bucks in 19 were a few bricked ft from Giannis and I think George hill if I remember correctly from avoiding ot and run away with a 3 0 lead in the ECF instead they actually bricked the ft went to ot and lost in ot and it began a reverse sweep from almost up 3 nothing in the series to lose it 4 2 and the rest is history for Kawhi and Toronto
Bro you killed this video. As a spurs fan for over 15 years thank you for this. Nothing I didn’t already know but you spent a lot of time and put it together really well
As a spurs fan born in ‘96 I realize I was spoiled with greatness throughout my childhood…so many memories with family watching/attending games….cheering on our Spurs….thank you Dom because this generation needs to recognize…excellent video essay on one of the greatest sports franchises to ever exist….

An hour long video by Dom2K? This is a CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC
Surely we aren’t glossing over that the guy who gave pop the coach job was pop.
Fantastic recap. I became a Spurs fan with David Robinson, and to watch them go on this run, with all the wins and the heartbreak (seriously, they could have probably had a couple more titles), spoiled me. And watching that successful redemption tour was just magical - nothing, even if they never win another title, will take that memory away. Beautiful game indeed.
Yeah I thought they could have won the 2 years with Rodman. They looked great when Hakeem ripped them up in that famous finals series too. They could have had at least 8 if things had gone differently
I started watching in 1989, when they drafted David Robinson. I am grateful for the success of "my team." Go Spurs Go.
The 2014 Spurs team is arguably one of the greatest finals teams in history. They didn't have the best players at each position but they knew how to play as a TEAM from the starting 5 down to the 12th man. They knew their role & did their jobs well. I would put money on them in any 7 games series vs ANY team in NBA finals history. 96 Bulls, KD & the big 3 Dubs, ANY of them. Sure one on one the Spurs would be at a deficit in talent but collectively they could beat ANY of them as long as they had that hunger for vengeance. Funny how teams boil down to their best player in these kind of theoreticals but i honestly do not believe any other finals teams in history played team ball better and could not outplay that Spurs TEAM in a best of 7 straight up.
The Duncan spurs dominated so many great players and limiting them
Shaq
Lebron
Nash
Dirk
The only player to give them problems and have a winning record with 2 or more wins is
Kobe. That’s insane how they could play Lebron and Shaq two players that’s top 10 all time. Duncan is a dawg I got him top 6/7 depends on the day lol
Go Spurs Go!
Go spurs go🎉
Go Spurs Go 🖤🩶🤍
Making Dejuan Blair looking like a very good NBA player while playing literally on no knees is still one of the wildest things the Spurs ever did.
Honestly, the Spurs had a really good team they have a Youngin upcoming Dejounte Murray Kawhi Leonard LaMarcus Aldridge, and a good bench
6-7 yrs ago.. yeah … a bummer it didn’t work out for that trio but glad with what we got for the foreseeable future ✔️
#GoSpursGo
One of the most respectable dynasties. Wish I witnessed all tbh but hey, can’t change the date I was born😂
Spurs fan ever since big 50 was the star. This is both heartbreaking and inspirational to watch at the same time. For giving me, a solitary fan, 20 years of excellence to watch and admire, they had earned seasons of being subpar. Now we got another gem and a chance in Wemby and I'm ready to believe again. GSG!!
Thank you Dom for beginning to upload again. You have been my favorite basketball youtuber to watch for awhile now
What a phenomenal video. I live here in SATX & I loved every part of this video. Very excited to see how Wemby & the Spurs move forward in the future, I believe great things are ahead!
Some of it has just been dumb luck, David Robinson going down in 1997 only for the Spurs to land No. 1 pick Tim Duncan, and then last year just getting lucky with Victor Wembayana.
Cry bout it
There have been so many teams to get luckier and have "better" talent but they just know how to win. Every championship has some luck with it.
You can just tell it's a big team fan or a Kobe or LeBron stan when they feel butthurt about Spurs or Mavs rings. Geniunely these type of fans just piss me off.
@@Luka-st4ufexactly just jackass 🤡s commenting bullcrap
Spurs give me Green Bay Packers vibes just being spoiled with franchise quarterback after franchise quarterback after franchise quarterback 😭
This was awesome trip down memory lane , spurs gave us so many moments
Being masters at tanking does help. Spurs are the only team never called out for it because they are so effective at it 😅.
They've only tanked twice having a bad season isn't the same as openly losing games 1997 and 2023 are the only times they tanked
Great vid bro. Super engaging for the entire hour. Becoming an old head has granted you wisdom 🤞🏾
As a longtime spurs fan, it brings me so much joy to see our timeline as a franchise to see our history put together. Props to you for doing this. I remember all the titles and the loses. I remember that first title run vs the heat and how I would make sure to watch those games. Those spurs teams from '11 to '14 were some of the best games I'd ever seen.
I’m not gonna lie I feel like Kawhi Leonard really flaked on the spurs and they really could’ve built something with him as their main star
Maybe. He'd still be injury prone though, that wouldn't change.
Yep but then we would have built around a broken oft injured star rather than Wemby who could rewrite the sport
You’re killing it with these longer videos
If only he could’ve had that foresight with Kawhi (About the Duncan injury).. 💔
When I did a formulaic dynasty ranking on Reddit ("NBA/ABA "dynasty" Rankings, Part 4 (Dynasties)"), the Spurs were #1 by a mile.
It was mostly due to length; the Spurs were so good for _so_ long that it makes up for the fact that they won a single fewer championship than the Bulls, or even the larger gap between them and the Russell Celtics (which is made much narrower when I adjust for the number of teams in Russell's NBA). Curiously, the Spurs' dynasty got extended to '93 based on the methodology I used, because their one bottom-out year (1997) wasn't enough to end their run (similar to how 2020 for the Warriors wasn't enough to single-handedly end their run).
@@ClickOnMyProfile522 I wasn't born last night
I pray for videos like this....great video 🙏🏽
Great content @dom2k, helped put their whole franchise into perspective
I know it’s a lot of talk about the spurs getting lucky over the years but I always personally felt like it was more than luck. I lived in San Antonio and those 2 decades just felt special like we were blessed. I probably also feel this way because the school I went to had a group of Catholic nuns living there who were huge Spurs fans and every year around playoffs they would have a big prayer event. They were so popular that they were on the news and Coach Pop even came to my school
Watched this all the way thru… GOOD WORK‼️‼️ do more of these
Ive been a spurs fan since 13. And I live in San Antonio. I was lucky to see the latter half of the dynasty and the new future dynasty with wemby
W content 💯I like the long vids
Love the long video man. Haven’t really missed one of your vids since I found your first one in 2017. Most tasteful takes in the NBA CZcams community man keep it up
Great vid Dom 2k extremely detailed and entertaining throughout solid
Need more like this good stuff dom🔥
Incredible video, love this series of former teams being reflected on
Great video, really well put together.
Awesome video🔥
Great deep dive, Dom! Go Spurs!
I really love these long in depth looks at teams!
These videos are so good
i NEEDED a long format vid from Dom
Best video you’ve ever made Dom
Hey man, just thought I’d say I really like these deep dive videos and think they’re really good content, keep up the hard work🙌🙌🙌
Great video man !!!
Gr8 vid as per usual
Drafting a rookie that would be All NBA First team and top 5 mvp voting in his first season is crazy luck
Thanks for giving my spurs some love, Go Spurs Go. Pound that rock!!!
Beautifully crafted video as usual!
a 1 hour dom special is like a christmas miracle
Just barely my whole life-im 47-so I was 23 in 1999...but seriously I just hope my Nuggets have half as much success as SA,& the closest Jokic comp(fundamentals/bball iq/unselfish,winner mentality-but not style of game)-Tim Duncan. Even half would be like 2 rings or 3 rings,3 Finals-maybe 5 WCF...right now got 1 ring,& 2WCFs with this core-id certainly take that.
Thank a lot for the good work. I started watching basketball back in 99 when they won their first chip I was 12 Y/o. Been a fan since
Love the lobg videos
Dom finally talking about the spurs!!!! Yes!!!!! Go Spurs Go!
yo - beautiful video. props. 🙏🏽
Man what a good video
respect for the hour video
The jigsaw theme at the end is gold😂😂😂
Need more videos like this. I can only imagine it's a lot of work, but I love them. Keep it up Dom 🔥. Maybe a Hornets version for a sad fan like myself 😭
Drop more vids like this!
oh yeah this finna be a banger
Dom, real ones love the documentary style
see this is why i love the sport of basketball. these guys are just absolutely insane everything is like clockwork it’s a beautiful sport i love it. this is an insane achievement damn
I like the longer vids
The Saw theme music is so fitting for Pop 😂.
Come to think of it, Pop does almost look like Jigsaw or John Kramer (Tobin Bell) from Saw 😂😂
Enjoyed watching Spurs all my life growing up (didnt watch every game or every final then) they were closest thing to a beautiful basketball exactly what i wanted to see, General in Pop with his trio and many legendary defining role players you just knew what type of players Spurs want to have
My favorite team was the thunder during the 2010s, but I always rooted for Manu and the spurs against the heat.
You should do this for the nuggets and LA love these videos
Great video. From a spurs fan
Vid was so good I didn’t even realize it was an hour long
What a great video. Truly great how the Spurs were among the best for just under 2 decades even with the other contenders changing over time. Lakers, Kings, Nets, Mavs, Suns, Rockets, Pistons, Celtics, Cavs, Miami, OKC, Warriors etc. Truly the most consistent team in north american sports.
The KD strays are immaculate
@7:05 *useless factoid: The sports announcer is Dan Cook, generally credited with popularizing the term "it ain't over 'till the fat lady sings".
W video per usual
Dom, this is a legit one-hour documentary that's better than most sports documentaries I've seen. And you did it only with your own voice. No interviews, no montages of game footage, no era-specific music videos to break up the time. Just your own commentary. It's very impressive, and honestly should be worthy of an award. You should submit it somewhere...or include it with your job application to ESPN.
I absolutely love these documentaries. Would love to see one on the Knicks, Grizzlies, and/or Bucks.
Why 😂😂
I've always been a Spurs fan. They deserve their achievements.
Wow great job! very awesome video! you should do something like this for the Raptors championship
RAPTORS NEVER A DYNASTY, GSW WOULD BE GOOD, LAKERS...
Good coaching and keep the main 3 guys on the same team forever
absolutely loved being a basketball fan in the west in the 2000s. i know weve heard a lot of insider stories with all these guys becoming "analyst". but I am here for it. cant wait for the curry and kawai stories. lebron can just go home. RIP Kobe and GG.
being born the year duncan was drafted the duncan era was my entire childhood and teen years what an memorable incredible era it was being a spurs fan hopefully wemby brings back those glory years for the spurs
I would love to see you do a video on the post-Jordan Bulls
Yoo I love the intro with NBA Live 2003, that game had the most amazing soundtrack.
I miss the 90/00s era of basketball so much.
2000s-2016 was the peak
yes sir! go spurs go
This dynasty deserves its own 10 part Netflix documentary.
14:37 was that shade to KD? Lmaoo
Great video, but I have to give a special callout for using Kagome's theme from Inuyasha at 34:15. I love that soundtrack.
What the spurs went through after 2007 till 2014 is lowkey similar to what the warriors are going through now. People writing them off but with a few tweaks to the roster I think Steph has 1 more in him
Been a Spurs fan since the Spurs-Rockets WCF. Weird to say that losing was a novelty
Hour long video about the spurs from dom??? It’s not even my birthday but I’m being blessed
