Gregg Popovich is not the talkative sort. Yet he's effusive about Becky Hammon, who after her WNBA career ends wants to coach — women or men.
With the NBA Playoffs starting, we look back on the top moments in NBA Playoff history.
Last night our very own Detroit Pistons took on the San Antonio Spurs and in NBA terms Manu Ginobili had a wardrobe malfunction.
Marco Belinelli had 20 points to lead eight San Antonio players in double figures, and the Spurs worked through a lethargic start to beat the Detroit Pistons 120-110 on Wednesday night.
The San Antonio Spurs have traded guard Nando De Colo to Toronto for former first-round pick Austin Daye.
Detroit abruptly fired Maurice Cheeks on Sunday after only 50 games as coach, but although they've been unimpressive for the most part this season, the Pistons have played better lately. T
Tony Parker is one of the better NBA point guards.
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is one of the greatest coaches in sports history.
Miami Heat fans pumped fists jubilantly, uncorked champagne bottles and swarmed into the streets by the thousands to celebrate overnight after their team captured its second straight NBA title.
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.
It all comes down to this.
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.
He is the best player in the game and this is the best moment in his sport.
This is what we are talking about today. Fans bolting on their team.
Nobody wants to be remembered for choking. Just ask Bill Buckner.
Five things to watch for in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as the San Antonio Spurs try to clinch their fifth title and end the Miami Heat's reign on Tuesday night:
The Spurs have long been the NBA's gold standard when it comes to drafting and development, preferring to roll up their sleeves and scour the globe to find the right players to slot into well-defined roles in San Antonio.
A little more than a year ago, the Miami Heat stood on the verge of elimination in the Eastern Conference Finals. The team's heart and the ability of the Big Three were being questioned left and right ahead of Game 6 of the Conference Finals.
Well all you fine NBA fans got what you wanted, well at least most of you.
As someone who works in the media and gets paid to have silly debates about silly subjects, it makes me the ultimate hypocrite to say this. But I'm going to say it anyway.
The Miami Heat dug themselves a hole when they allowed the San Antonio Spurs to go up 3-2 in the 2013 NBA Finals. Heading into Game 6, the Heat face long odds of just getting to Game 7, much less winning the NBA championship.
They lost three times in three months in one of the most overpowering stretches the NBA has ever seen.
The Miami Heat have been playing the entire 2012-2013 season with a mentality of championship or bust. After dropping Game 5 of the NBA Finals, the Heat's proverbial backs are against the wall and the championship dreams are close to becoming another Finals nightmare.
Manu Ginobili ran onto the floor as fans stood and screamed. He went to the bench, and they chanted his name. The sights and sounds of so many San Antonio spring nights were back Sunday — and the real party might be just a few days away.
