NBA Finals...

...happened yesterday night and the Spurs took the title beating the Pistons. I was a little disappointed cuz I was rooting for Detriot. They are an excellent team in the true sense of the word and I loved the way they had trashed the Lakers last year. Yet, while reading about the game in todays news amidst seeing a few Spurs' team pics I couldnt help but admire Duncan and the Spurs. They have an innate nice-ness about them. Duncan seems to be such a humble person despite being a player of his stature. And the rest of the team seem to jell so nicely with each other. The Spurs seem like a team with immense talent and the temparament to go with it so that they dont create any unforced problems for themselves. To quote the article I was reading today..."the Spurs are built to last". I definitely agree!

On a different note...have you guys heard about the AND1 basketball guys who are going around the US cities inciting the local basketball studs, telling them that they can kick their local ass and making mix-tapes of them actually kicking some serious butt!
Google for AND1 mix tapes and explore.

Will check out AND1.

My only problem with the spurs is that they are so incredibly boring.

Like Renta would say "nobody shows up" :D

But I can't deny that Manu and Tim are god-like.

In the finals when everybody was getting all senti and shouting at bad calls he always had a smile on his face..

when he was asked how he could get all those 3 pointers in crunch times his reply is.."others get all tensed up and forget this is just a game to enjoy":)
