woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some stats of the game:

FINALS MVP: TONY PARKER (first european player to obtain that title)
With their fourth championship since 1999 -- and third in five years -- the Spurs joined the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls as the only teams in NBA history to win four titles.... Coach Gregg Popovich and the Spurs, now a perfect 4-for-4 together in finals appearances.....San Antonio's four-game sweep was the eighth since the finals began in 1947.... Spurs forward Robert Horry got another one, too, his seventh -- the most by a non-Celtics player (ring)....With four titles, Popovich trails only Red Auerbach (9), Phil Jackson (9), John Kundla (5) and Pat Riley (5) for the most in league history. ... Cleveland's 322 points in the series was the lowest total for four games. ... The Spurs' .727 winning percentage (16-6) is the highest in finals history.
not too bad for the oldest team (currently 8 players over ageo 30 on the team) in the league,eh?

I guess you're identifying with the winning "over 30" crowd on the Spurs, eh?

:p

I've gotta say that I'm going to root for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference next year though Spurs are still #1 in my book. They were a classy competitor. If they could get some help for LJ, the Cavs would definitely be a team to reckon with.

Go Spurs!
