Previewing the NBA Finals Game 7 Postgame


The columnists are writing two stories today.
One they’ll probably run, and what they really want to say.

One gives begrudging respect to LeBron and the Heat.
Over seven tough games they had too much talent to defeat.

But if the Spurs win their joy will abound
As they revel in throwing creaking platitudes around,

How teamwork, fundamentals, honesty and coaching
Beat the squad of selfish megastars built from round-the-league poaching.

Basketball turns into a morality tale.
How the modest will triumph and the arrogant fail.

Are the teams really different at the end of the day?
They’re all millionaires. And they all come to play.

Kipling’s two impostors were once treated the same.
Humans shouldn’t be judged on who wins one game.
