Having Taken the Baton From Tim Duncan and Co as NBA’s Top Dynasty, Warriors’ 4x Champ Gives Spurs Trio Its Due Flower: “They Quietly Changed the Game”

The Big 3 – the trio of most decorated players of the San Antonio Spurs. During their time, the Spurs were the top dynasty of the NBA. A position that one of the top dynasties in the NBA now holds – the Warriors. Another common feature is the 4 titles Golden State Warriors has to its name since the Curry-Thompson era.

The San Antonio Spurs also won 4 titles with their three musketeers during the years 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014. Incidentally, 2014 was the last championship the Spurs ever won. And now, they are passing their legacy on to the Dubs.

The Big 3 and the Warriors’ 4x NBA champion

The Big 3 consisted of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. Together, they won 57s regular seasons and 126 postseason games. Standing tall as Naismith Hall of Famers, their legacy continues to be an inspiration for many.

The Golden State Warriors are one of the top dynasties in the NBA now. 4x NBA champion, Klay Thompson pays his respect to the legends in his Instagram story.

The post summarizes their legacy in 5 words, “They quietly changed the game.”

They sure did. An interesting fact is that after Tim Duncan’s retirement in 2016, the Spurs with Manu and Tony, lost to the Warriors in the 2016-17 Western Conference Finals season. The same season saw the Warriors win the championship as well.

And now, we see Curry-led Warriors with a heavy mantle.

Golden State Warriors honored to take the lead as NBA’s top dynasty

It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say they promptly handed the baton down to Curry and Co. According to Sportinglad’s ranking of top dynasties in the NBA, the Warriors rank fifth (2014-2019). And the Spurs at seventh (1999-2014).

The ranking number could be misleading but notice the years. Right when the Splash Brothers joined forces with Draymond Green right behind, the Warriors took the title. Call it fate, but they were meant to be.

The testament to their efficiency can be seen when former US President Barack Obama tweeted his congratulations for their 4 title wins.

They may not be the team with the most title wins, like Boston or LA. But the Dubs have got more titles in the past 10 years than both the teams combined. The dictionary definition of a dynasty will put these facts up for debate. But this is sports. And when a team has highly skilled players and results to prove that – they become a dynasty. Pretty sure no one can argue on that point.

But will the Warriors be able to mark down this season in history? It won’t simply be their 5th ring. It would also be the season that will be noted for beating LeBron’s Lakers.
