History In The Making

Now the Spurs can do the riverwalk they've all been waiting to perform back in San Antonio.

After clinching the NBA Championship outright with an 83-82 win up @ Cleveland (& a 4-0 sweep of the Cavaliers), San Antonio has made a case for the ages as far as NBA champions go, especially in the case of Tim Duncan. He's already caught up with Shaq (who snatched up four championships with Los Angeles & Miami) & is on his way to catching up with the greatest all-time NBA player around, Michael Jordan (who has 6 championships, with none other than the Chicago Bulls). If all goes well, he (along with his teammates) could do just that.

San Antonio doesn't have any one star player who runs the show, like say, Kobe Bryant or Dwayne Wade do with the Lakers & Heat, respectively. That, to me, is what makes the Spurs such a formidable presence to be reckoned with at this time of the season...no, should I say this is how they've played the entire season, including the playoffs. And whereas many of their peers are in it for the fame, they're making history, creating a legacy which goes to show that there are other dynasties in NBA Basketball besides the obvious Big Four (the Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, & Pistons).

Congratulations again to the Spurs for winning the NBA Finals last night & for writing a new chapter in the NBA Championships book!!!!!
