Duncan winning the Finals MVP

Don't get me wrong. Tim Duncan is a good player but there is no way he should have won the MVP in the finals. Manu Ginobili or Robert Horry did more than he did when it counted. He couldn't hit a foul shot when it mattered. He was as far from being clutch as possible. If Manu hadn't taken over the game in the first two matches and Robert Horry hadn't bailed the Spurs out in game 5 the Spurs wouldn't have stood a chance. I mean Duncan only really hit any big shots in game 7 and if it wasn't for Manu and Horry he wouldn't have even had the opportunity.
It really does show how completely stuffed the administration is in the NBA. Sure Duncan's stats don't look that bad but the fact is a true champion can deliver in the clutch moments. Duncan hardly did anything in the clutch moments all series long.

Anyway, enough said. It's just really annoying how predictable the NBA is these days. Duncan could have averaged 10 turnovers a game and they still would have given him the trophy.

At this rate the guy is gonna end up with more trophies and championships than Magic or Jordan and they'll be talking about him as if he was at their level.

The guy is good but he's not even close to being in the class of those guys.
