One of my favorite aspects of that title was all the veterans that were rewarded after long NBA careers; Mo (who wound up being a real piece of shit, but not at the time), Dahntay and James Jones. RJ and Frye are as likable and upstanding as any two guys in sports, and you could tell how much it meant to them. You consider the personal tragedies that they've both experienced with the deaths of parents since then, and it makes that triumph all the more poignant.
Would have loved to have gotten Korver a ring too, and I guess Perkins' worthless ass, but like RJ said, fuckin' Durant man.
I've said it elsewhere, but "sweetest" NBA title has to be between the Mavs and Cavs...such special, legacy-sealing runs that managed to transcend the sport.
Nah korver never showed up for us when it mattered, he had chances to earn one and blew it
