Black Sports : How the Spurs' road to championship redemption began on a heartbreaking night in Miami

[Clyde C Coger Jr]

lol ... I hear ya,

The game has changed for the worst really, nothing like 80's basketball. Remember this?

true , I cant front I loth the spurs (Knicks fan here I hve my reasons) but I respect good b-ball. SA earned it,Lenoard balled out of control. Personally I would have leveled a few hard fouls,maybe a flagrant or two,these players today just don't play that physical ball like in the 90's and early 2000's. Remember when the suns were beating the spurs and robert horry flagranted nash, which change dthe whole series? how bad do ya want it? guess Miami didn't want it that bad. I don't mean hurt anybody,but no way should players just be parading to hoop with out hard nose fouls!

but it's over sa balled and earned their ring.

LeBron is not Jordan.... nor never said he was Jordan... and the Heat are not the Bulls... not made up as the Bulls, follow the same strategy, in the same city, within the same era...
It's like comparing the Bulls accomplishments to that of the Celtic dynasty because the Bulls didn't win as many.

How can you saay this when this question is all over the internet, sport shows, etc. Yes, the Heat is not the Bulls but to use an excuse as to why they lost, stating it was their scheduled is wrong. All championship teams has to face the same hills.

Peace!

Lebron is still the best , he has 2 rings,played in 4 finals,and played great against the spurs. his team is subpar, the difference was san antonio's bench. Oh yeah and the AC conspiracy in game 1 lol. last time I checked the Heat beat the spurs last year, Miami needs to re-up and reload as the spurs did. Never have I seen such a great player be hated on so hard. Lebron is a better player then any one i the league,he just happens to have a weak supporting cast. Possibly a weak coach as well,spolstra never found a stargtegy to stop sa's offense.

No one is hatin on Labron, I'm talking about the comments that is floating around saying that he is better than Jordan. I'm glad you justified your comment by saying "in the league". But if it's a matter of rings, then you're still wrong because Tim has 5, and Kobe has 5 which is more than 2.

Barkley is defined by the fact that he never won a ring., this is just how we keep score.

Peace!

They lost because the Spurs were the better team... why would I care what the internet says?
Plus, what was stated is a common occurrence and rarely does a team three peat.
Plus understand... no one said anything about being scheduled wrong... but that it was longer than the normal season... which means more games were played by them than most of the other teams...

Not my concern how they keep score because their sport aptitude is simply more than the rings... now if you are the pro basketball player, it's obvious you will feel some kind of way... but that thinking would have people believe those with rings are better... like saying you will pick Ray Allen over Reggie Miller because of their ring status.

Some players were simply playing in a era which they simply couldn't win because of the team building mindset of the time.

And let's look at the team aspect shall we..
You gave us the ring count... how many of those players won their rings alone? How many championships did the black mamba won without his supporting cast? Or Tim? Hell, Jordan? They all tried it alone and failed...
