The Spurs continued to cement their status as one of the NBA's dynasties as they used a 83-82 Game 4 win in Cleveland on Thursday to complete their sweep of the young Cavaliers and capture their fourth NBA le in nine years.
Manu Ginobili poured in 13 of his game-high 27 points in the fourth quarter, including six free throws in the final 24 seconds, to keep the charging Cavs at bay. Cleveland had scored the first 11 points of the period, but needed Damon Jones' 3-pointer at the buzzer to produce the final one-point margin.
Tony Parker finished with 24 points to become the first European-born player to earn the NBA Finals MVP Award. Parker averaged 24.5 points on 57 percent shooting and five rebounds for the series.
Tim Duncan, who had been named MVP in each of the previous three championship runs, tallied 12 points and 15 rebounds, and averaged 18.3, 11.5 and 2.3 blocks over the four-game set.
LeBron James finished his first Finals experience on a positive note, scoring 13 of his 24 points in the Cavaliers' strong fourth quarter to go along with six rebounds and 10 assists.
With le No. 4, the Spurs join the Celtics (16), Lakers (14) and Bulls (six) as the only franchises with that many. Veteran Robert Horry picked up his seventh ring, the most for any non-Celtic.
Damn that's a great picture. Gotta love D-Rob, didn't see him in that picture before, lol.
So proud of this 2007 team. Own't.
No, let's all whine that we didn't sign some second tier FA for too much money to ride the pine or the IR.
Why isn't Elson in that shot?
wow, that was great to see D ROB in it , next to ROB.
Awesome, that made my day, hadnt seen that before
The important players are up front.Seriously, there are a few hats visible in the background. He's one of them, I would imagine.
He bit on Finley's ball fake.
Look at Fab smiling like a little kid.
Pop is not on that pic either...
Maybe Pop was yelling at Elson when they took that pic...
D-Rob : "Can I touch the trophy ?"
Beno shouldn't be in that picture. him.
love the pick
As usual, he is out of position!
I have that as my wallpapper.
Doesn't anyone else think that Beno is ruining the picture? Get out of Manu's spot clown!
Oh and BTW,
Did we ever see what Finley did with that ball? It was clear that that was his main intent throughout the post game championship celebration, to not let that ball out of his sight. He guarded that thing like it was a cure for AIDS. I would like to see what kind of display, if any, he had setup for that piece of history.
He's still sitting on the bench.
