As the Spurs embark on Chip #5 playing the Heat Tonight if they can close out there hasn't been 10 plus Organizations that have grabbed the Larry 'Obrien Trophy since 1991 and we here the Ultimate Goal is Championship...Ok! The Spurs and the "Dunc" and "Pops" led Spurs will join the Mike, Scottie, and "Zen Master" led Bulls and the Kobe, Shaq, and Zen Master again led Lakers. It's not Rockets Science you need a little bit of both in Players and Scheme plus Coaching to grab Larry. Do you remember when the Heat came together they were saying not 1, not 2, not 3, and so forth an so on? Now look if Hindsight is 20/20 they were lucky to get the two they have real talk!
Looking at NBA Chips since Air Jordan and the Bulls won their first in 1991...how many Teams are on the list?

1991-93 Bulls (3) 1994-95 Clutch City (2)
1996-98 Bulls (3)
1999 Spurs (Strike Season)
2000-02 Lakers (3)
2003 Spurs

2006 Heat
2007 Spurs
2008 Celtics
2009-10 Lakers (2)

2014 *
360 Degrees....
Bulls did the Three-Peat twice and just think if Air Jordan had not left to play Hardball for two seasons?
Clutch City Rockets led by the great Lead Man Rudy-T and 1984 NBA Draft #1 Overall "Dream"
Olajuwon beat a young Shaq and the Riley led Knicks going back to back...
Spurs get their 1st Chip ever in the strike shortened 1998-99 Season as the Admiral gets his 1st and Dunc and Pops...then they go Odd Years in 2003, 2005, 2007 go figure!
Lakers get Shaq from Orlando and Kobe in the 1996 NBA Draft on a Draft Day Trade and the Zen Master in the 1999-2000 Season and go Three-Peat 2000-2002 only to run into the 2003 Spurs in the 2003 West Finals and the 2004 Larry Brown (current coach at SMU) Pistons in 2004 NBA Finals to stop 5 straight possible chips!
Heat with "Flash" Dwayne Wade and Shaq in the 2005-06 season gets the Heat Chip #1 beating the Mavs G.O.A.T. @swish41 in his quest to become Champion! Heat then grab King James and Bosh and get to the Finals four straight times winning Back to Back 2012-13 but it looks like they will go 2-2 and Heat "Don't mess with Texas"!
Celts grab K.G. and Sugar Ray along with Lead Man Doc Rivers and grab the 2008 Chip for the C's 17th and NBA Record but just missed the 2010 losing to the Lakers as "Perk" goes down with a Torn ACL in Game 6 of that Series!
Mavs get their revenge in 2011 as they beat the Heat in Miami's quest to grab Chip #2 and the first with the Big Three...James, Wade, and Bosh...Mavs G.O.A.T. cashes in for all of DFW Metro and Germany and NBA Heads that love the Diggler as his legacy is in Cement!
Just 8 TEAMS have won the Larry O'Brien Trophy since 1991....Eight and you think it's your turn yeah right do the Arithmetic!
BULLS 6
Lakers 5 (16 overall)
Spurs 4
Heat 3
Rockets 2
Celtics 1 (17 overall)
Pistons 1
Mavericks 1
