Congrats to the Spurs

I’m not much of an NBA fan, but it’s hard not to admire a team which was so disappointed in its performance last year that it redoubled its efforts to win the championship and then did so. In five games. Against the defending champs, the team that had frustrated them last year. The Spurs have been called “too old” to win for the last few years, too. Obviously that was wrong.
