I know I've stated many times that the NBA is dead to me, and don't get me wrong, it still is. It is a terrible influence on our youths, it's not entertaining, its too expensive, and its a joke. With that in mind I will actually say that the NBA could possibly redeem itself this postseason if they embraced the Spurs as their Champions.
The NAB should declare the SPURS a "dynasty," it would be there secind title in 3 years, and Duncans fourth in his young career. The NBA was at its highest during the two most most recent dynasties: The Bulls and Lakers. Football has seen a resurgence since the Patriots have become a dynasty. Everyone wants parity but everyone also wants a dynasty out there for everyone to gun at.
Tim Duncan is one of the top 5 sports celebrities that should be admired by all. He is never in news for anything negative, he is very well educated and well-spoken, and everyone that plays or coaches him has nothing but praise. His coach Greg Popovich has come out and said he will never coach a team that does not have Tim Duncan on it. Youth today should be looking up to him, not that clowns like Allen Iverson, Stephen Jackson, and half of the Detroit Pistons (I actually like Richard Hamilton). Seconds after the game that eliminated the Suns Duncan went up to Nash and hugged him, really hugged him (it wasn't even a "man-hug" it was the real deal.)
The Spurs play team basketball in every sense of the word, they don't put the ball in one guys hands and have them do some crazy one-on-one moves and throw up this crazy looking shot. The move the ball around, run actual plays and beat you in many different ways. They can beat you in slow-down basketball and in speed-up fast break basketball.
And no, the Spurs are not a dirty team, but the league did mis-handle that altercation with the Suns. Horry was trying to defend a player that is half his age and 50 times faster. He was moving his feet and caught him awkwardly. They were right by the sidelines so NAsh went into the scorers' table. If it had happened in the middle of the court, he would have just fallen over, no big deal. Both teams over reacted, period. All over sports media they are saying the Spurs are a dirty team and shouldn't win. Stop fighting it, just embrace it.
The NBA needs to get it together and turn away from their blacksheep players that are giving them a bad image. I know this is over half of the league, but. The NBA needs to embrace this stand-up guys like your Tim Duncans, Steve Nashes, Michael Redds, and Dirk Nowitickis. Goobye Iverson, Rasheed, Artest, Jackson, who needs ya.
Still Dead to Me.
