The Lakers/Spurs rivalry b/w the Tim Duncan Spurs and Kobe Lakers are cited as one of the best rivalries of the 2000s, but looking back at the match-ups, I’m surprised by how lopsided they were compared to the Kings/Lakers or later Lebron/Celtics series.
- 1999 - Lakers get swept
- 2001 - Spurs get swept
- 2002 - Spurs get gentlemen swept
- 2003 - Spurs win 4-2
- 2004 - Lakers win 4-2
- 2008 - Spurs get gentlemen swept
Of these, only two years had some degree of competition based on the end result. Is this a case of the results not telling the whole story or was the rivalry more out of the match-ups than the quality of said series?
