All good things must come to an end
I should have written this when we saw the last of Steve Nash for this season but I waited to write the eulogy on this NBA season until it actually got over. Quite predictably, the Spurs won. Detroit with its bunch of thugs could only defend but could not score. Spurs had great weapons...
1. Duncan- He is humility personified. He is so humble that if you watch a post match conference even after his team's victory by 20 points, he would be singing the praises of how well the opposition played.
2. Ginobli - The name wouldn't be out of place in the menu card of the Italian restaurant near your home but fate would have it associated with a basketball player. An unbelievable ball handler who proves that Argentinians are equally adept with handling the ball both with the feet and the hand.
3. Tony Parker - Did you know they played Basketball in France? I swear I di n't know until I saw Tony Parker. Until the end of 2003 season, I always mixed his name with the more famous Parker- Peter Parker. This guy can play and he can now take the Larry O Brien Trophy for company when he goes out with desperate housewife Eva Langoria.
4. Robert Horry - I used to hate him when he was with the Lakers. But I hated everybody associated with the Lakers from Jerry Buss to the team bus driver. He had some clutch three point shots and sealed the game.
Its party time in San Antonio and I know how the city vibrates after they win a majore championship. I wanted to relive the feeling this year in front of America West arena but it was not meant to be. But the suns will raise again like a Phoenix out of the ashes and annex the trophy next year. I would be there for the parade next year and maybe all good things won't come to an end....

Itll be interesting to see if the Suns amazing run this year is a one-off thing or an indication of things to come. Also, I was rooting for the Spurs just because I wanted Detroit to lose. And Larry Brown really screwed things up big time.

Ginobli also won two consecutive MVP's with the Italian League :-) . As for the suns I guess they are drafting a 7-foot center for the next season. Hope it works well for them. Will love to see Phoenix Kick Ass next season !!! :-)

Duncan and Garnett are good friends? I haven't heard that before... The only times I have seen them co-exist is during the Addidas advertisement

Only an Italian can tell us about the Italian League:-) Yeah even I read about Mile Ilic , the serbian center who worked out for the Suns yesterday. He is 7'1" with 9'5" shooting reach

Hats off to Spurs for beating Detroits. I watched Duncan's conference that you have mentioned. I felt the same way as you did.

Hey,
first of all both play the same brand of basketball. So to say that Detroit is the only one who plays all-defence basketball is wrong.
And the great thing i like abt Detriot is that they are a TEAM. All of them are fuckin rejects. THey don't have a single all-star (Big ben was there just for his fro). But when they play as a team they lit the oppositions ass on fire. And of course, the cliche "they never give up". This is exactly what you ask as a sportsfan.
And please stop with this shit abt Duncan being humble crap. Lets move away from "oh i'm so so fucking humble and will always suck dicks" (Indian cricket, except ganguly). SPORTSPERSON NEED ATTITUDE. don't confuse with arrogance. Look at Mcgrath. He looks like a moron+geek. But apprently, he scares the shit outta batsmen who look like thugs, merely by his attitude.
I'm sure you'll agree with me that the only thing that seperated the two temas was "3-point shooting" (Note: Horry in both game-5 and 7 sealed the fate)

Mr. Korangoo
I hate Detroit for the same reason that I love Phoenix. [OFFENSE]
With Duncan, I was being sarcastic about this being soooo humble and not really owning up even his team's victory. I love both attitude and arrogrance from sportsmen. Steve waugh, McGrath, Warne, Lara, Randy Moss, T.O., Sheed are all my personal favorites
I mentioned Horry as a star of the playoffs only because I acknowledges the three point shooting.
