Really really good read as is everything Lowe writes. Here's a few highlights from the celebration that I thought you guys might like:
Marco Belinelli wore an Italian flag around his neck, and Aron Baynes posed for photos holding the Australian flag. Baynes also popped out of the locker room cradling three bottles of beer in his giant hands. “I have a lot of beer!” he yelled, to no one in particular.
Bonner demanded a 30 for 30 documentary about the Spurs rally from last season’s crushing defeat.
The Coyote went pantsless for most of the night. He was ready to party. He also filmed a delightful sequel skit showing him running around Miami, carrying a giant Texas state flag with the Spurs logo in place of the lone star, and planting the flag in various places. He also took it on a boat ride around Biscayne Bay. I love the Coyote.
The Spurs locker room was packed so deep you could barely even turn around. At one point, Duncan was in an adjacent room with some coaches and the other stars who were headed to the podium. He peeked around the corner, took one look inside the locker room, smiled, shook his head, and walked back into his sanctuary.
