KG and Duncan are two of the good guys in the NBA, and definitely top 5 players. I like the fact that KG will NOT wear any tatoos. Always, says something to his mom after each interview. I have to say it, but I think the most valuable player TO HIS TEAM, is Kobe. (and don't start the flame wars on the rape issue) I am willing to let the justice system work on Kobe, and hopefully the truth will prevail either way. But when the game is on the line, if I could pick any player with the ball, it would be Kobe. Just like I would have wanted MJ to take it all those years.

KG and Duncan are both absolutely great players. Duncan is just a great player to watch, he lives up to Shaq's characterization of him, "the Big Fundamental". His board use is just amazing.

Well congratulations to KG. I don't mind this at all. Just as long as Tim get the MVP for the playoffs and another ring I have no problem :)

The only team...the ONLY team...that the Lakers show respect for is the Spurs. They're one of those "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts" groups.
Did you know that either Steve Kerr or Robert Horry has been on the last -ten- NBA Champions? :)

I've got no real arguments against KG, I'm happy for him. But the Wolves added Sprewell and Cassell this year and were marginally better (record-wise) than last. The Spurs don't have anybody else even close to all-star quality. Without Duncan, they're a 25 win team. Without KG, Minnesota still probably wins 35-40.
No, I'm not a Spurs fan.

AFAIC, there was no single player...not one...who -meant- more to his team than LeBron. The kid comes into the NBA with the highest expectations in history...anointed "King James" before he's played even -one- NBA game. An he does it...all of it. He averages 20.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists, joining Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan as the only NBA rookies to average at least 20-5-5. He became the youngest player in league history to score 40 in a game. He scored more than 30 points 13 times. He leads the Cavs to doubling their win total from last year and helped keep them in playoff contention for most of the year. Their home average attendance rose from 11,497 to 18,288...the highest increase ever for a team that didn't move into a new building. Lots, and I mean LOTS of folks were waiting to see him fall flat on his face.
And he does it all at 18 years old. Damn. I can't even fathom it. LeBron really could have been MVP and I wouldn't have even blinked at it.

Cuban was married a couple of years ago but keeps his private life very private. There was a big stink with a local magazine (a rag called "D") ran a picture of his wife. I'm not sure she attends many games. If she does, she doesn't sit down courtside with him often.

And you know what I think is the best part about the whole LeBron thing?
He plays in CLEVELAND!
Yeah, baby! We've been waiting a long time for a bonafide b-ball superstar to play in the Big Mistake By the Lake. We got one now!

Yes, And another fact, In 1999 Kersey hit a buzzer beating three at the half of game 1. Spurs beat Lakers. Last year Kevin Willis hits a half time buzzer beater. Spurs win game one. Both times the Spurs are World Champs. And yesterday :) Tony parker hits a buzzer beater at half time!! Spurs win game 1. History could repeat it's self for the third time.

Meanwhile, the Pistons are beating the Nets 63-46 with 6:00 left in the FOURTH quarter. If the finals end up as Spurs-Pistons, you'll see final scores of 44-41.

That's the only award Garnett is going to win this year as he will not win an NBA title.
The Spurs are on a roll and geared to win their second title in a row.
Go Spurs GO!!!!
