Hi, Stevo here, recently joined the forums and not too long ago engaged in a long and detailed conversation with other forumnites here about the necessity of a "superstar" to win a championship.
I was the first to state I clearly felt a superstar was needed to win championships in today's NBA.
However, less then 8 hours ago, the San Antonio Spurs proved me wrong. I'm so happy to have been wrong.
A collection of good basketball players playing the way the game was meant to be played; as a team.
The initial argument stemmed from how to make the Raptors in to a championship team, and I dismissed the fact that Spurs were, simply because I thought it was unrealistic for a team in today's NBA to take the throne without that "guy", who could take over games and strike fear in to opposing coaches. A superstar can have that quality of being unguardeble, where a team rarely has that same trait.
The Spurs have shown me otherwise, and though I still don't think the Raptors should try to emulate the Spurs (for a variety of reasons) I gotta say it is insanely refreshing that the Spurs won in the way that they did.
It's true. In a superstar driven league, superstars are not ABSOLUTELY necessary to win championships.
Thanks Spurs.
