I didn’t seriously follow the NBA Championship but I was cheering for the Spurs since San Antonio is Austin’s southern neighbor. Heck, I think they built their new arena closer to the Interstate to make it easier for Austinites to attend games. Most of Texas was cheering for them after the Mavericks humiliated themselves in the first round. I’m sure Mark Cuban is still asking what the hell happened. The sweep is even sweeter because the media was cheering for LeBron…I mean the Cavaliers since this guy has been prematurely crowned by them as the next Michael Jordan…again. Unless he develops a gambling problem would I say he remotely deserves it.
Meanwhile, congratulations to the Spurs for a fourth title in nine seasons. Not exactly a threepeat but it’s still a pretty impressive record. I remember them in the Nineties as being a strong team in the regular season only to choke in the playoffs.
