Wins and losses are pretty definitive and indicative @shoeking101, so are the players during those eras. They were what they were and the Spurs are what they are. Comparisons happenin every sports and there's various measurables we can use to backup our viewpoints, it's why debate in general is great.
Wins and losses are definitive and indicative to what extent? It doesn't account for circumstance and comparing players across eras doesn't account for circumstance(s) either. The Various measurables that you alluded to are there sure, but it just leaves out so much to me. How can you say one player or team is "the best" because of how they performed during their era? Who's to say they would have been that successful had they played in a different era? There's no numbers that can give you that.
But I get it, I understand it. It's fun to try and see how teams from different eras, years, and generations compare against each other. I just don't see how you could say one team is "definitively and indicatively" better than another. When I try and compare, just far too many variables need to be answered to make it happen.
