Popovich has become NBA's Bill Belichick

Great article by Adrian Wojnarowski from Yahoo! Sports about how Greg Popovich has become NBA's Bill Belichick

His superstar, Tim Duncan, had left $11 million on the negotiating table with his contract extension, passing on max-out money so the Spurs could surround him with championship talent well into his mid-30s. This was a Brady-esque move for the New England Patriots of the NBA, one that reaffirms for basketball's Belichick why he's the most blessed sideline soul in the sport.

By the way, what kind of superstar would you have on your team? The Tim Duncans of the world who get it and put their team before themselves or the greedy A-Rods of the world of who only care about themselves and how much money they earn? That's why the Spurs are champions and why no one can question Tim Duncan's selfless greatness. Chuuuch.

TIM DUNCAN IS GOOD AT BASKETBALL

Wow... a Spur is actually on the front of SI... the most underrated superstar in modern NBA history, Tim Duncan. I am sorry, I know Lebron is the man and has given the NBA an extreme boost going into the finals because all of the sheep / tool NBA fans want to see the face of the league do well and win a title, but getting through the Eastern Conference is a cake walk. I know the Pistons are a very good team, but they were just horrible in the series with the Cavs and didn't show any playoff experience.

The story will be different when the Cavs face a real team in Tim Duncan and the San Antonio Spurs, who have beaten the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, and Utah Jazz to get to the finals. All of these teams would probably be the NBA Finals if they were if the Eastern Conference. There is no way, and I mean no way, that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be the finals if they were in the West. The Spurs experience, talent, and physicality will prevail over the one-man show in the Cavs.

THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL BE OWNED BY THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS.
