Dear San Antonio,
We're sorry we doubted your team.
The rest of us have been watching NBA basketball all these years, but not like you have.
Not like your Spurs.
And can we say it? We're jealous of this basketball machine you get to watch rev up every single night.

Teams come and teams go, but it's June, and the Spurs are here again. As always.
How is your team still doing this?
What's your secret, San Antonio? Is it the nasty?

Just tell us! We'll be more nasty if we have to.
Your Spurs were over the hill five years ago. They were dead and buried a year ago.
How are they still here? How is this still possible?
How is Tim Duncan still doing this night after night?

Do you know how many 7-footers have been this productive at his age? There's Kareem, and there's Tim, and... that's it.

At age 37, Duncan averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds a game this year. Shaq couldn't match that. Neither could Hakeem. (Abdul-Jabbar went for 22 and 8 a game at this age.)
