I was thinking of teams off the decade. Did not know they would put all sports in one sum. We came out on top in all sports. That is pretty cool. Lets start to build on the next decade.

of course im biased. totally agree.

but it begs the question, which is more difficult?

3 superbowl titles . . . 4 NBA championships.

I think it's harder to win 3 Super Bowls than it is to win 4 NBA championships. In the NFL, it's much harder to remain competitive. You constantly see teams moving up and down the standings after every season. NBA is a lot more consistent (i.e. Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks remaining in contention every single year).

I read lots of homer analyst who picked the Spurs EVEN though:

Titles Lakers 4, Spurs 3
Finals Appearances Lakers 6, Spurs 3
MVP Players Lakers 2, Spurs 2
Head to Head Lakers 4 Spurs 1

How can you argue for the Spurs with that amount of overwhelming evidence
