Tim Duncan is amazing.
At his age, making 1st-team All-NBA, then leading the Spurs to an insurmountable 3-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals (potentially giving the Spurs extra rest and prep time while the Heat battles it out with the Pacers) and positioning himself for yet another NBA championship.
When I was writing for ESPN.com, I coined a phrase "Duncan Dynasty" to represent how we will remember the era between Michael Jordan's final title and LeBron's first. I still think that fits, and -- let's not downplay it -- at 9 years (1999-2007, Duncan's most recent title) it is longer than the Jordan Era (1991-1998), if not quite as many rings. But if Duncan extends it to 2013 (particularly in what is presumed to have been the peak of the "LeBron Era"), then it puts his greatness at a whole new level.
If you haven't yet, it's time to appreciate what Duncan is doing this season. The Duncan Dynasty continues.
Meanwhile:
*Who's watching the Indy 500? I always enjoy it, even if I don't follow the sport.
*Neymar to Barcelona: That's a biggie. Huge future awaits for him in Europe.
*Everett Gholson is out at Notre Dame: That's huge. He makes that offense go.
Oh, and sort of an important game for LeBron and the Heat tonight in Indianapolis -- win, and they take back the series; lose, and they are no worse off than they were a year ago after Game 3 in Indianapolis, but it would feel different, given how this series has started.
