Pistons Simply Got Robbed

You don’t leave your wallet in your shoe at the beach. You don’t leave your baby in the car with the motor running. And you don’t leave Robert Horry open for a three-point shot with the game on the line. Congratulations on your sixth ring, Robert.

I am finally beginning to understand the wisdom of Mitch Kupchak’s player decisions. Knowing that Robert Horry usually doesn’t truly shine until the playoffs, and knowing that the Lakers weren’t going to make the playoffs, I can certainly see the brilliance of letting Big Shot Rob go for nothing.

When you reflect on the last few years of inflated egos, selfish play, a gossipy tell-all coach and endless feuding, the Lakers epitomize everything that is wrong with professional sports.

When you hear this year’s Finals MVP say that everyone on the team deserves the award, and when you see basketball being played the right way, the Spurs epitomize everything that is wonderful about basketball.

Congratulations, Spurs. Get your act together, Lakers.
