Go Spurs!
I wrote this on Altercation today:
The Sports PageWhew! That was heavy. Ok. Now for some joy.
Early this year I wrote on Altercation that this is the NBA's golden age. I think events have proven me right. Ratings are down, but skills are up. This week we will see the two best defensive teams (emphasis on teams) face off in the NBA finals. They are led by two of the best coaches of all time, Greg Popovich and Larry Brown. It's the Rust Belt (Detroit) vs. the Sun Belt (San Antonio). No coasts are involved. No big shoe contracts will dominate the proceedings. Only basketball. And it will be great.
Some day the NBA bigwigs will figure out how to sell quality instead of flash.
I am especially pleased because my team, the San Antonio Spurs, are certain to capture their third championship in six years.
