4th title since 1999

So if you thought the Cleveland Cavaliers were a challenge to the San Antonio Spurs (I doubt that very much...), think again. San Antonio swept Cleveland in 4 straight games to get their 4th NBA Title since 1999. Series MVP Tony Parker averaged 24.5 points on 57 percent shooting, became the first European-born player to be honored as MVP. The Cavs were simply no match for Manu Ginobili and company. The Cavaliers are a one man team: LeBron James. On the other hand the Spurs have a complete set of rotating personnel in the starting lineup and on the bench that can take over a game at any time. Tim Duncan was unstoppable as always and all the players from San Antonio contributed in some way in every game of the series. The Cavaliers are a young inexperienced team that needs personnel improvement to help James in the games. After this series although short for them they gained a lot of needed experience that young players need. Experience that the Spurs have for them and to share with every other team in the league. With this fourth title you can start calling it a dynasty.
