Finals Recap

My prediction turned out to be way wrong, but I always have to have confidence in the team I'm rooting for. Deep down I knew the Spurs had a higher chance of winning. I just wanted to see something spectacular from LeBron James. In a way, making it to the Finals was pretty spectacular already. Kobe can't do it without Shaq. D-Wade can't do it without Shaq. Melo had Iverson and couldn't do it. James did it all by himself. James is a great player and will only get better. I'd be more of a fan if he was a Bull though... two more years to wait!

Tony Parker was awesome in the Finals and it was clear that he would be the MVP. Without his heroics, there's no way it would've been a sweep... maybe Cleveland would've even won. Even though I was rooting for the East coast, I'm not bothered by the Spurs victory. They're a bunch of good guys (mostly) that play basketball the right way. I'm happy that Tony Parker is ending the season on a high note, going into his wedding. Tim Duncan is always a class act. Michael Finley finally got a ring after getting close a few times. I'm a little bugged that Robert Horry has 7 rings now though. He was never really a key player on any team. He just made one memorable shot as a Laker. He just has a knack for weaseling on to the right team at the right time!
