Champions
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
A couple of champions were crowned in the sports world since I last posted.
NBA
As most of you probably know, the Spurs defeated the Pistons in Game 7 of the NBA Finals, for their third championship in seven years. Tim Duncan, who was chosen as the MVP of the Finals, shook off a shaky start to come up big in the fourth quarter of the deciding game. Personally, I think Manu Ginobili deserved the MVP. It was tough for Duncan to get anything going inside against a tough Detroit defense, but Ginobili jump-started San Antonio's offense on many occasions by driving through the lane and getting a layup or an assist. It's going to be fun to see how good Ginobili can become over the next few years.
College World Series
It only took Texas two games to defeat the Florida Gators in the best of three College World Series Championship matchup. The Longhorns now have a total of six National Championships in baseball - one more than my Tigers of LSU (which is why I was pulling for Florida).
Oh, and for those of you who are eagerly awaiting news on my freshly enrolled bowling league: Team "Bust 'Em Up" took two out of three tonight, led by yours truly, who bowled 20 points above his average in each of the three games. PBA, here I come!
