...And for once, Tim Duncan wasn't the MVP. This time, Tony Parker rose to the challenge of taking on Lebron James, the superstar and his Cleveland Cavaliers. Parker scored 24 pts in the Spurs 83-82 victory in Game 4 last night and averaged 24.5 pts in the Series. The Spurs have now won the NBA Finals for 4 out of the last 9 years, and Tim Duncan has a has already filled almost a full hand with rings. Next on the list for San Antonio to catch up is the Chicago Bulls, who has 6 NBA Final championships. The Celtics have 16, the Lakers of Hollywood have 11.
The off-the bench heroics of Manu Ginobili proved to a major difference for the Spurs in the series. The Cavaliers who could have equally won Games 3 and 4, as they lost them, where taken down by Manu Ginobili and Co. in the fourth quarter. Manu Ginobili led all scorers with 27 pts, but the most important part was the 13 in the fourth quarter.
Lebron James paced a Cavaliers comeback in this game as the Cavs started the fourth quarter with a 11-0, and Cleveland got their first lead in the second half of a game in this series, but Tim Duncan quickly erased any remembrance of that lead driving the ball down the court. The Spurs contained Daniel Gibson very well, and the Cavaliers fouled Duncan like crazy, and he kept making those free throws count.
Congrats to the 2006-07 Spurs on they're 4 championship this decade, and 3rd out of the last 5 years. Tony Parker is living the life now, winning his 2nd NBA Finals, being named MVP for the first time, and of course his marriage to actress Eva Longoria on July 7, 2007. Gregg Popovich, the Professor as I like to call him is 4-for-4 at the helm of the Spurs, and he can now be put in as one of the greatest coaches of all time, as Parker can soon be compared to the likes of Jason Kidd, and John Stockton.
Oh, and btw... did you guys hear that Lebron James' second son Bryce Maximus James was born early yesterday morning?
