?You showed the world the beauty of basketball? By Recah Trinidad PhilBoxing.com Tue, 17 Jun 2014  LEBRON James, scouring the basketball skies on the eve of yesterday?s concluding championship game, tried to reject the anomalous 3-1 hole where his title-defending team had fallen in its NBA Finals play-offs against the San Antonio Spurs. ?Why not us?,? James was overheared as muttering. Truth was the Heat, after a robust, overpowering regular season fueled by James? super power, suddenly softened and slipped starting Game Three of the NBA Finals mano-a-mano against the Spurs. After cramping out in Game One, James did strike back in Game Two to level off the title race. But Miami?s back-to-back meltdown in the two succeeding matches sent some unbelieving Miami followers wondering if the NBA defending champs had fallen into a spell right in their homecourt. ** What happened? ?Just a great team and we do it together,? said Tony Parker, pesky, unsinkable San Antonio court general. ?Hard to believe, isn?t it? We just played at a really high level,? said ageless team spark plug Manu Ginobili. After yesterday?s big, big win, durable Spurs? pillar Tim Duncan said he no longer mind what happened after they crashed close to clinching the crown against Miami last year. ** Miami, as expected, spurted early yesterday to deviate from the sorry path of their two previous losses. James went 5-7 from the field while grabbing six rebounds to almost singlehandedly push Miami to a fantastic 22-6 lead in the start-off. Rousing from a slow start, San Antonio however went on a 35-point turnaround to take the lead, before turning its Game Five duel against Miami into a third straight mismatch. ** ?You showed the world how beautiful this game is,? remarked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, maybe wanting to single out Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who took his fifth NBA crown in an uninterrupted 17-year stint with San Antonio, thereby cementing the team?s legacy through decades.
