San Antonio's All-Star forward, beaten down for his disappearing acts late in Games 5 and 6 of the NBA Finals, came up big Thursday in Game 7, leading the Spurs to a stirring 81-74 victory over defending champion Detroit at SBC Center. "I don't even know what was said," Duncan said of the criticism that was heaped on him during the past few days. "I know what I wanted to do for myself and my teammates, and I wanted to give my best effort." It was the third NBA title for San Antonio, which won in 1999 and 2003, and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich became the fifth coach to win at least three championships. Said Detroit coach Larry Brown: "The better team won." Duncan, who finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds, won his third Finals MVP award to go along with the ones he won in 1999 and 2003. The eighth-year player and eight-time All-NBA selection joins Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal as the only three-time Finals MVPs (Jordan won it six times). The soft-spoken Duncan had 17 points and eight rebounds in the second half, when his team needed him most. His free-throw shooting also was impressive. Duncan, a career 69.2 percent shooter from the foul line, was 5-for-6 (.833) in Game 7.</div> Source
Spurs are going to become a dynasty. And as long as Ginobili, Paker, and Duncan are on that squad we can expect alot more championships to come
The Spurs played like a dyansty team the whole Finals, the whole team plays like a whole and Pop is the best man for the job. There`s no doubt in my mind we can expect much more to come of San Antonio.
