Really proud of them, and for them.

And can't say enough for such a professional program showing exactly how to play the game and conduct a program. Not a wise-*** in the group, from player to coach to owner. They play team basketball and share the honors, the efforts, and credit. They may do that better than any program in NFL, NBA, MLB. Far as I can tell.

I recall commenting in a post in a long buried thread about how Kawhi Leonard could be the future of the Spurs and will be as good as he wants to be. That was last season after he took over a game with some plays that left me repeating wow over and over.

Looks like the future has arrived. At 22 the youngest finals MVP since Duncan in 99.

Well deserved individual recognition for Leonard, and every member of this TEAM for a dominating performance.

Another first for the Spurs in a title run of firsts. The first time a team has won four games in the finals by at least 15 points.

The Heat might have been thinking too much about signing Carmelo Anthony in the off season. Not sure playing with just one basketball would be enough for those guys, but it worked out quite nicely for the Spurs. Well done.
 
They were on the kind of roll that you seldom see. It was pretty obvious that they were this year's best team. Congrats.
 
So much fun watching that game, especially the tribute to the idea of playing "the right way", and showing how good basketball can be when it's really a team mentality that goes beyond just giving it lip service.

It was especially satisfying in that it completely wiped out the team built on the "buy a couple of superstars and let them go" model, which had become the accepted path to a title. Watching Dewayne Wade's play and knowing that he cost more than any two Spurs starters combined was especially vindicating.
 
The funny thing is I think Dwyane Wade would look pretty good if he were playing for the Spurs; his stats would go down, but he'd look like a better player and nobody would say stuff like he's letting his team down. The whole "Miami's supporting cast failed" argument misses the point that the Spurs way of playing makes role players look good if they have the right attitude and don't care what their own numbers are. Remember LeBron's "no help at all" supporting cast in Cleveland was too good for Danny Green, yet Green is a quality starter in San Antonio.
 
their ball movement reminded me of Nolan Richardson's teams at Arkansas 30+ years ago; just pass until there is a real good shot open.
