CLEVELAND - True roundball royalty, the San Antonio Spurs are once again wearing the crown. LeBron James, Cleveland's preordained King, isn't quite ready for his.
San Antonio Spurs Tim Duncan (L) hugs Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James next to the Larry O'Brien Trophy after the Spurs defeated the Cavaliers to win the NBA Finals basketball series in Cleveland, Ohio,
Finals MVP Tony Parker scored 24 points, Manu Ginobili had 27 - 13 in the fourth quarter and the Spurs, who bounced over from the ABA in 1976, moved in among the NBA's greatest franchises with an 83-82 victory Thursday night for a sweep of the Cavaliers - court jesters through much of their first finals.
With their fourth championship since 1999 and third in five years, the Spurs joined the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls as the only teams in NBA history to win four titles.
And No. 5 might not be far away either with Parker, Ginobili and Tim Duncan leading this Texas-oiled machine. Coach Gregg Popovich and the Spurs, now a perfect 4-for-4 together in finals appearances, spent most of the postseason dismissing talk that they should be considered a dynasty.
But with titles in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007, there's no more reason to pretend they aren't one.
As the final seconds ticked off on Cleveland's finest season, Duncan stood at center court with both arms raised triumphantly as the rest of the Spurs danced around their center in a huddle. San Antonio's star sought out Cleveland's Eric Snow, but was unable to find James in the pandemonium.
