Tim Duncan and Tony Parker won titles in their second seasons. Manu Ginobili was a champion as an NBA rookie.
In the age of me over we ball, Duncan is a corrupt cliche - a winner.We judge stars by rings more than ever. The Heat didn't win; LeBron won. Kobe or Shaq won a decade ago. But when the Spurs win, Duncan is part of a greater whole, lost in a selfless, Vulcan coda.
NHL Players play through broken bones, collapsed lungs and dislocated ribs. The King is sidelined due to cramps ... which has happened more than once.
Last night, like every NBA night, morphed into a sweaty, LeBron James symposium. And the firewall between factions is rather defined. He's either a chump who cheated his team out of a win, or he's a victim of fate or faulty wiring, a hardwood martyr who can't get a break.
The first thing that came to my mind was "give this guy some Gatorade!" to refuel him. Then it clicked, LeBron James is sponsored by Powerade, which is a competing product of Gatorade.

Experience or youth? It's often the difference between winning and losing in sports and Game 7 will feature plenty of both for the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.
The Miami Heat put together one of the best regular seasons in recent memory thanks in large part to a 27-game winning streak. But it also secured home-court advantage throughout the playoffs and that could be a deciding factor on where the Larry O'Brien trophy stays for the next year.
And then there was one. One game to decide the value of a year's worth of work trying to become NBA champion. For one team, it's one last shot at glory as the window is nearly closed on a historic run and for the other, immortality winning back-to-back championships.
Through heartbreaking losses and hair-raising victories, through Game 7s of the NBA Finals and Game 46s of the regular season, through contract extension after contract extension, what has defined these San Antonio Spurs more than anything else is the simple fact that they stick together.
