I'm a diehard spurs fan. Ive been since 1999 so of course seeing what we did in 2014 was beyond special. It kind of took the sting away from 2013. The ball movement, the unselfishness, the team comradery, everything! What a year man.
As a Bulls fan I have great respect for the Spurs. They're the most well run team of the modern era. And now Y'all have Wemby. Championships in the making
I mean it probably was the dude was leaving his hometown team that drafted him, I’m sure if he got more help from them he wouldn’t of even considered leaving
@@kingdeedee yeah new york fans generally have accepted the fact that players today are much more skilled. We still got love for pat but melo here is what bron is to cleveland basically
@@dododump3144Yes you right. Ewing impacted and contributed so much more to winning basketball and have much better individual seasons as well. He was an unselfish superstar who also did not mind taking a bench role during the twilight of his career.
2010s ruined basketball debates and convos. Its when the modern basketball community became toxic and full of fans that refuse to study the past, but still make bold statements.
Smartphones gave a voice to less informed fans, thats for sure. I agree there is a toxic group that didn't study the past but there is also a stubborn oldhead group that glorifies the past and ignores its flaws. i'm 41 so consider myself an oldhead as well.
As opposed to the older fans anf players that constant malign the modern game and fail to even try to understand the different ways the game has evolved? Both sides are as bad as the other. The only difference is social media wasn't around back then, and now it is to amplify the rubbish takes.
@@maartenvz I lump the stubborn oldheads and new gen fans into the same category because old heads won't watch the present but judge the modern game and the new gen comment about the past but won't watch a second of pre 2000s basketball
So glad you shed some light on Boris Diaw man. I was a freshman in high school during this Finals, and I remember seeing the impact Diaw had on that series. Not that he was the most athletic, dominant or best playing on the floor, but he had that Draymond impact where he moved so well, his passes were on point and he just knew where to be at all times. Up until that point, I thought of him as just a backup 4 to use for boxing out skinner forwards, but this series solidified his role on the most unselfish team, arguably ever. Like I said, he’s not the best or most athletic but his positioning and reading of the game is top tier. And to answer the question, the 2013 Heat is also my favorite team of the 2010’s 😅 I’m a huge LeBron fan and seeing him dominate, the 27 consecutive win streak that year, the dunks, stats and highlights that team put up, all perfection. I still think LeBron should’ve won the MVP unanimously that year.
You can make this video about every era: the 00s saw the rise/evolution of suffocating team defence after illegal defence was abolished. The 90s saw a shift from fast paced to slow paced after the bad boys beat up everybody. The 80s saved the NBA, made it glamorous with superstars that became icons (magic, bird and MJ) and had the first repeat champion in 19 years (the Lakers). It was also just as fast as todays game and already had teams averaging 120 ppg (denver) without shooting 3s, no flagrant fouls and hand checking rules in place.
Not organically. I can't even consider the Houston Rockets w/ Pip and Barkley also cause they were past their primes. The Heatles were smack dab in the middle of theirs (Wade was starting to get hurt a bit but was still Flashin') LeBrick started it😊
@@BlackGypsyMusic Lakers Kareem magic, Celtics Bill’s and KG, PP, Rondo, Bulls Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, Grant were all superteams that came before Lebron joined Miami. Learn basketball Jorbum fan
@@BlackGypsyMusic you have zero clue what you’re talking about.The 80s Celtics, Lakers and Sixers all had deeper teams than even the best of LeBron’s Heat teams
Modern superteam is more of how I like to think of it. Its the idea of the players taking more power from the owners in terms of where they wanna play.
My favourite team from the 2010s was easily the 18-19 Raptors. I always can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if Masai Ujiri pulled off that trade to move up in the draft for Giannis though. There’s a timeline out there where that team had both Giannis and Kawhi
What about kareem demanding a trade in his prime from the bucks? Chamberlain demanding a trade from the sixers. Rodman from the pistons. Mcgrady from the magic. Iverson from the sixers. Carter from the Raptors. tmac, grant hill (and almost tim duncan) joining in Orlando? Shaq leaving orlando for the Lakers and then asking to be traded in 2004. Shawn Kemp demanding a trade in his prime. Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler with Olajuwon on the Rockets. Those were all very similar situations to what durant and george did.
Fav team of the 2010s have gotta be the Carmelo Knicks with Lin. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t get too far, but that roster was packed with talent and was tons of fun
@@kingdeedee agreed, but at the same time the basketball world needed to see what happened if you actually put up such a perfect constructed team together.
I think Ben Simmons may have the opposite of mamba mentality. That's obvious, but what I mean is after 2021, all that pressure, attention, and judgement actually broke him. Now he's tryna find value in other things
19:16 this is an amazing point. GSW had the best shooters and won the title this way, but we forget (or never knew) that *four* teams cracked that top ten immediately after seeing how the Spurs played with that small ball and ball movement. If the Rockets hadn’t blown the 3-1 lead would we be crediting them with changing the game forever? It makes sense that the Spurs’ domination of the Heat was the real seed for it. I hadn’t realized it, and I love learning new things, so thank you Swishout for always being on point and insightful!!
I think overall a lot has change in the 2010s the LeBron James decision to go to Miami to join the heat. The play style and Ball movement of the spurs team was also intriguing come playoff time.🏀💯
from the 7 seconds or less suns to the big 3 heat to the basketball perfection of the spurs to the golden state dynasty to the mike dantoni rockets the evolution of basketball throught 3s was amazing to watch in real time
That the the owner putting pressure on the gm KG was calling Kobe to join not go to Boston. They wasn't worried bout lebron yal fans make it seem like lebron was on a tear
@@SilentMovements305 I ain’t say any of the players made the move, the Celtics assembled that team however it came about. But lebron was definitely best in the league in 07 don’t cap
That dive into the Spurs series adds much needed context for what many people chalk up to just another loss for Lebron’s Finals record. Would be interesting to see more of these such as the 2011 Finals with the Mavs or even how Golden State’s run overshadowed Lebron’s impact in those series for the younger/causal crowd
Great video with great takes in my opinion. Personally as a Pelicans fan that team with AD, boogie, Jrue, & Rondo was so good that we really believed we could've won it all with those guys if boogie didn't get injured & they all stuck around. They all left and won championships on other teams basically as soon as they each left; well except boogie, who declined a contract with the Pels & signed with the Warriors on a minimum, and they lost in the finals for the first time since acquiring KD. That was mostly due to injury of course, and Kawhi Leonard lol. The 12-13 Heat was crazy & imo that was the best version of Lebrons prime, at least physically anyways. It was also crazy to live through that warriors dynasy especially once KD joined. They were in my opinion the best nba team of all time. & that spurs team that won in 14 is probably one of the most underrated teams of all time; I feel like they never get mentioned in the greatest team of all time argument.
Bro the Celtics started the superteam movement fr to stop Bron and Kobe. Bron just took matters into his hands cause Cleveland wasn’t finna do shit. OKC was a great winning team that just dropped harden and fucked everything up.
I appreciate you studying as much as u did in preparation for this video.

been a heat fan since i knew what basketball was and seeing my team going to the finals and ecf makes me reminisce about when bron and wade was running the league 😢
This was a solid ass video! Definitely recall the 2014 Spurs but didn’t remember how much they really sparked the three movement. I knew they definitely influenced small ball and spacing more but forgot about their threes and how lethal they were. Also real ones know about Diaw, honestly I think he’s a better facilitator than Draymond even though numbers may say otherwise. Him and Ginobili are mad underrated facilitators.
Two of the top 3 players in the league joining forces to run the league for “not 5, not 6, no 7” IS indeed a superteam and had never been done before stop with this nonsense in the comments 😂😂😂😂
Better skill, better players, faster pace, better shooters, basically the skill evolved to where even the most mid star, Julius andle, could average 30 in the 90s and under. Hell even in the 2000s he would be a menace
My opinion is every draft class the players just get better, a first overall in the 80s would be a second round today. Highschool trust fund players are paying 10s of thousand of $ you just can’t compare to back then
Then why don’t they do all that during international tournaments? Because it’s just that the NBA rules make it easy to carry, to travel, to shoot uncontested, to have freedom of movement ( their is literally a rule named after it that came out in 2018). It’s fake skills.
LMAO no. became a league driven by getting freethrows and flopping, superteams with the same two teams in the finals every year, defense being absolute ass, and nobody playing inside anymore and the bigmen are basically all scrubs. You really think someone like James Harden who gets half his points from flopping would do well in an era where you got half the calls you'd get today? Get real. If it were the 90s or 2000s, he'd be coming off the bench
Honestly the 17-18 Celtics were a team that would have had an AMAZING 7 game series if everyone was healthy. The 18-19 bucks were good to use in 2k tho
Spot on after 2018-2021 too much movement in players and it became drama. I don’t think this generation cares about basketball like in the 90s, the culture of the northeast, Jordan culture is fading and so will the league . Sport is becoming about betting and we don’t have the time to watch games like that anymore with social media
The three point revolution that the warriors started other teams taking all of those other three pointers as well and started a run of a dynasty in 2015.🏀💯
Quick note that goes way under the radar, lebron actually facilitated a sign and trade with Miami in 2010 that gave the Cavs 5 future draft picks. So he really didn’t leave for nothing technically
The thing about Kawhi’s decision that annoyed me the most was that Demar DeRozan pretty much became displaced to make place for Kawhi, who had one year left on his contract. He was a franchise player who did the best for his team only to be traded for a superstar. So the teams are also setting a bad precedent as well. You can get traded straight out of the draft, you can get traded after 9 seasons in the same organisation. No one is safe. What Kawhi, Kyrie did were wrong but the teams aren’t faultless. The cavs failed to build around Lebron to win a championship so he left. Now airing the whole thing on TV was petty but his decision was justified. Allen Iverson and Damian Lillard tried to carry their teams but neither of them got any championships. Yes, some players did act selfishly but so do the teams. The regulations are there for a reason.
I have said this same thing. The 2014 Spurs played the most beautiful basketball I have ever seen. Period. I remember thinking that if I ever had a son, I would name him Kawhi. Nine months later, I gave birth to my son, Kawhi😅. Which is so ironic since I wasn't planning to get pregnant not even a month after the finals because I had already been told that I would have to use medical assistance to have a child😅. Thank you 2014 Spurs for two amazing Kawhi's❤❤❤❤.
Not every player is fortunate enough to have a front office that cares about winning. Lebron had to leave the Cavs the first time, they didn’t even care to retain boozer. He also always had terrible coaches until Spo and he was a rookie at the time. The warriors front office is an anomaly.
@@Mizzymsyg KG and Paul pierce was still in there prime, Ray Allen was entering it also rondo Kendrick Perkins were at the peak of their career so what are you chatting about.
The difference is that, Ray Allen and KG got traded there without them wanting to leave their current team. KG didn’t want to leave the Tims. Lebron left and chose to create a super team AND CHOKED the first year. That’s why he’s the number two Goat
Said a lot of great stuff! But the biggest one was Ben Simmons, I 1000% agree he should be blackballed from the league no question and probably will be
Loved the concept of this video! It is really true when you look at it. Lebron in a way started the player empowerment era, but he did it the right way. He basically said look guys this is how you should do it. Play through your contract and don’t be a diva. Then all these players took that and abused it and now cooked it to the point where the new cba is limiting home grown teams

Two of the top 3 players in the league joining forces to run the league for “not 5, not 6, no 7” IS indeed a superteam and had never been done before stop with this nonsense in the comments 😂😂😂😂
Lmao a superteam yeah but after 2012 it was just bron and shells of others, don’t forget how many other superteams they were in the nba.
Better skill, better players, faster pace, better shooters, basically the skill evolved to where even the most mid star, Julius andle, could average 30 in the 90s and under. Hell even in the 2000s he would be a menace
My opinion is every draft class the players just get better, a first overall in the 80s would be a second round today. Highschool trust fund players are paying 10s of thousand of $ you just can’t compare to back then
Players like sabonis, derozen, butler and a Randle would thrive in the 2000s for sure
Then why don’t they do all that during international tournaments? Because it’s just that the NBA rules make it easy to carry, to travel, to shoot uncontested, to have freedom of movement ( their is literally a rule named after it that came out in 2018). It’s fake skills.
LMAO no. became a league driven by getting freethrows and flopping, superteams with the same two teams in the finals every year, defense being absolute ass, and nobody playing inside anymore and the bigmen are basically all scrubs. You really think someone like James Harden who gets half his points from flopping would do well in an era where you got half the calls you'd get today? Get real. If it were the 90s or 2000s, he'd be coming off the bench

Honestly the 17-18 Celtics were a team that would have had an AMAZING 7 game series if everyone was healthy. The 18-19 bucks were good to use in 2k tho
"Officially baptized by the three pointer"
😂😂😂😂
the big pause after "power empowerment" showing ben simmons..............man 🤦🏿🤣
4:44 Rondo face got me crying lmaoooo... bro like tf type shit goin on in GS
Wish I could double like for the “shoot me down” instrumental 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
18 years and no rings and you giving recommendations on what a player should do, is crazy 😂
Spot on after 2018-2021 too much movement in players and it became drama. I don’t think this generation cares about basketball like in the 90s, the culture of the northeast, Jordan culture is fading and so will the league . Sport is becoming about betting and we don’t have the time to watch games like that anymore with social media
Excellent analysis
Damn, you went in on Simmons. 🤣
The first super team were the bill Russel Celtics
The three point revolution that the warriors started other teams taking all of those other three pointers as well and started a run of a dynasty in 2015.🏀💯
Quick note that goes way under the radar, lebron actually facilitated a sign and trade with Miami in 2010 that gave the Cavs 5 future draft picks. So he really didn’t leave for nothing technically
2017 Thunders with Russ PG and Melo. I’m a Knicks fan so most of the reason I watched was because of Melo. Russ and PG are just that entertaining
honestly it’s because physical aspect of the game that is one of the biggest reasons the game changed
The thing about Kawhi’s decision that annoyed me the most was that Demar DeRozan pretty much became displaced to make place for Kawhi, who had one year left on his contract. He was a franchise player who did the best for his team only to be traded for a superstar. So the teams are also setting a bad precedent as well. You can get traded straight out of the draft, you can get traded after 9 seasons in the same organisation. No one is safe.
What Kawhi, Kyrie did were wrong but the teams aren’t faultless. The cavs failed to build around Lebron to win a championship so he left. Now airing the whole thing on TV was petty but his decision was justified. Allen Iverson and Damian Lillard tried to carry their teams but neither of them got any championships.
Yes, some players did act selfishly but so do the teams. The regulations are there for a reason.
I have said this same thing. The 2014 Spurs played the most beautiful basketball I have ever seen. Period. I remember thinking that if I ever had a son, I would name him Kawhi. Nine months later, I gave birth to my son, Kawhi😅. Which is so ironic since I wasn't planning to get pregnant not even a month after the finals because I had already been told that I would have to use medical assistance to have a child😅. Thank you 2014 Spurs for two amazing Kawhi's❤❤❤❤.
Finally some diaw respect😂. That spurs team was so beautiful tho
Not every player is fortunate enough to have a front office that cares about winning. Lebron had to leave the Cavs the first time, they didn’t even care to retain boozer. He also always had terrible coaches until Spo and he was a rookie at the time. The warriors front office is an anomaly.
People love forgetting about the fact that the Celtics had the Super team before Bron went to the heat 🤦🏽♂️
They weren’t in there prime the heat was in the middle of there prime lol
@@Mizzymsyg KG and Paul pierce was still in there prime, Ray Allen was entering it also rondo Kendrick Perkins were at the peak of their career so what are you chatting about.
The difference is that, Ray Allen and KG got traded there without them wanting to leave their current team. KG didn’t want to leave the Tims. Lebron left and chose to create a super team AND CHOKED the first year. That’s why he’s the number two Goat
@@sgalicia007 he left cuz his teammates were 💩 and who is talking bout choking the subject is that he “Created Super teams “
@@sgalicia007he left a franchise that didn’t do anything for him and ruining his prime years u acting like he pulled something just as bad as KD
100% LeBron lead to the creation of his ultimate finals loss record. KD never joins the warriors
LeBron most likely has 2 chips in CLV
Exactly bron says in Cleveland and nobody ever things of making another superteam like the heat did even close
Said a lot of great stuff! But the biggest one was Ben Simmons, I 1000% agree he should be blackballed from the league no question and probably will be
I'm on ya ass Swish, don't have us wait this long nomo bro 🤷🏾♂
Loved the concept of this video! It is really true when you look at it. Lebron in a way started the player empowerment era, but he did it the right way. He basically said look guys this is how you should do it. Play through your contract and don’t be a diva. Then all these players took that and abused it and now cooked it to the point where the new cba is limiting home grown teams
