On Sunday, the San Antonio Spurs collected its fifth NBA title of the Tim Duncan regime, routing the Miami Heat in five games. As confetti rained down from the AT&T Center ceiling and Spurs fans celebrated in the streets, a tumescent Skip Bayless laughed maniacally while sitting on a throne made out of human skulls. As one of LBJ’s most enthusiastic detractors, Bayless has long been tough on The King. But, this series revealed a yin to the First Take host’s yang, and his admiration for the Spurs really took form. Bayless' softer side went round-for-round with his raging hate boner for LeBron James, and the match is almost too close to call.
I love Danny Green.
I love Danny Green.
I really, really love Danny Green.
I really, really, really love Danny Green.
Then, it was LeBron's turn.
Nobody doubted LeBron had cramps. He was just such a Drama "King" about it. Distracted teammates. All about HIM. Again, shaky intangibles.
Uh-oh. LeBron suddenly finds one of his rare hot streaks. Hope he uses 'em up before 4th quarter.
More Drama King: Was LeBron building in excuses w/ 2 melodramatic trips to locker room (for bathroom and ankle re-taping)?
And, back to the Spurs.
Manu, almost 37, posterized Bosh, then rubbed it in with a three. That was SO GINOBILI.
I cannot express how much fun I'm having watching this. LeBon crying at end of bench? Spurs fans mocking Heat fans w/ that song they sing!
FORGIVE ME, BUT I AM SO HAPPY FOR THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS. TEAM BASKETBALL AND GUTS DESTROYED MENTALLY WEAK TALENT.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
