Thanks! :toast



The symbolism in the moment was obvious. There was Duncan, on the eve of his 39th birthday, making an exchange with a much younger teammate — even if Duncan hesitated for an instant before handing him the trophy, as if it were difficult for him to let go. Leonard represents the future, and the crowd at AT&T Center roared with approval.

I read things like this in many articles during the Spurs winning streak about passing-the-torch moments but still sounds great.

"Duncan hesitated for an instant before handing him the trophy, as if it were difficult for him to let go"

journalistic, melodramatic bullshit.
