Gregg Popovich

MIAMI — As chants of “Let’s Go Heat!” rained throughout the corridors of AmericanAirlines Arena, Armando, holding the hand of his female companion, led her through a sea of fellow Miami Heat fans. Euphoric.

Shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers united by a white hot love for their Heat, they were packed as tightly into the arena’s Northwest stairwell as a bag of cotton balls.

“Wow. Wow. Wow,” he said. “I can’t believe what I just saw.”

What he saw was a clash of two champions and two teams for the ages.

And what he saw was one of those teams—his team—simply refuse to meekly cede the throne that they endured tremendous scrutiny and heartbreak to capture.

What we also saw, sadly, was one of the greatest coaches in NBA history make one small decision that may be talked about for years to come.

And now, what we will see is a Game 7 that will result in Tim Duncan either capturing his fifth title or LeBron James his second.

History. Legacy. Legitimacy and glory. Up for grabs.

It simply gets no better.
