SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The San Antonio Spurs are NBA champions for the fifth time since 1999 following their third straight convincing win over the Miami Heat. Kawhi Leonard delivered 22 points and 10 rebounds as the Spurs ripped Miami 104-87 to win the finals in five games...

The Miami Heat created a dynasty and multiple titles and success before a game was ever played, constructing the Big 3 of LeBron-Wade-Bosh under Pat Riley.  They promised us anywhere from one to seven NBA titles.  Now, this group COULD be lucky to get two...

David Stern was hired as NBA commissioner in 1984.  One of his big goals was to globalize the game.  Stern wanted to also make the league more professional, expand it to 30 franchises and have superstars on television more often.  Stern stressed to the NBA higher-ups that if teamwork took place, success would follow.

Manu Ginobili did his anti Michael "Air" Jordan impression during a 106-91 Spurs' win over the Jazz on Sunday.

The Miami Heat evened the series against the Chicago Bulls with an 85-75 win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.  There is something that is strikingly ironic about this series.
