60. "Nostalgia is a funny thing" In response to In response to 0
I am honestly not sure if today's Spurs/Thunder/Mavs are objectively better than any of these teams of the past.
But if you skipped forward 15 years from now, couldn't you make almost the exact same arguments for these teams?
Is it inconceivable that we look back at last years Thunder team and go "whoa, there were 3 HOFers on that team?" I mean, injuries or drastic fall off could still happen, but Durant and Westbrook are clearly on the right track, and if Harden's career continues on it's current arc, people might completely forget he was a 6th man and shat the bed in the Finals back then.
And won't the Spurs be looked back as one of the great dynasties of all time?
I honestly don't know what history will think of the championship Mavs team, it already seems people forgot about them and the story was more of the Heat collapse, anyway.
