-Robert Horry won his seventh NBA Championship (the most by a non-Celtics player) on Thursday and said he'll be back for one more year to help the Spurs repeat.

-With four titles, Gregg Popovich trails only Red Auerbach (9), Phil Jackson (9), John Kundla (5) and Pat Riley (5) for the most in league history.

Dreams do come true. Ask Tony Parker, the 2007 NBA Finals MVP.


"This was a far, far, very far dream," said Parker.

Moments earlier, Eva Longoria, Parker's more famous fiancée, ran onto the floor and jumped into his arms. They clung to each other, looking as if they were drowning and hanging on to each other for dear life. But the only danger they had of drowning Thursday night was drowning in the Champagne celebration later in the locker room.

The day before winning The Finals, Parker still had his doubts about possibly winning a MVP.

"That would be unbelievable," said Parker. "But I still think Timmy is going to get it because he's our franchise and he's a superstar. But if they want to change, why not? But still -- I'm joking. But still, there's one more game, and if we win the championship, I'll be very happy with that. And if it happened, I'd be the first one to be very happy."

Parker made history in this Finals as he is the first European to win the Finals MVP.

Parker enjoyed the moment with his father, brother, and an entourage filled with Frenchmen, including Thierry Henry, the great French striker.

"It's amazing, so amazing," said Henry.

His father, Tony Parker Sr. -- a former professional player in France -- was, at halftime, reluctant to discuss the matter when MVP talk was raised.

"No comment until it's over," said the elder Parker. "But with regard to the team, he's doing his part. That's the Spurs' way. But I never take anything for granted.

"But I will say, if you are optimistic and live in a cultural where kids have the ability to dream to want to be good, why not. Put your best foot forward, anything can happen and not just in basketball, but whatever you want to do.

"Talk to me after the game and hopefully I will have a lot to say."

And, indeed he did.

As Parker received his MVP award, the proud papa beamed.

"Wheeeeeeeeew," shouted the elder Parker, "This is the best! This is the third time. He has played in two All-Stars. The way he has been educated. He has a good heart. Eva was in the stands saying, 'Tony should win it (MVP).'"

Then Parker Sr. shouts to a security official to let Manu Ginobli's wife to come to the podium on the court where the celebration is going on.


After that, Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets embraces Mr., Parker and tells him he'll be at the wedding this summer in France.

"I'm very happy for Tony," said Paul. "I met him a few years ago, I try to even play like him and we talk all the time.

Parker was whisked away to the locker room to enjoy the moment with his teammates alone for a few minutes, while Eva waited with her #9 blinged out necklace.

"I am overwhelmed," said Longoria. "I was lucky to experience 2005 but this is special."

Photo shoots, more media questions to be asked and answered filled the next hour or so before the team bus departed into the darkness.

"This is going on my trophy shelf," said Parker.

And that's just another one of Parker's good moves.

al tje da ga casti Eva... 

btw, ovog puta sam stigao da uplatim... 

Zaradio sam u ovom finalu taman za SkyStar dvojku,da mogu k'o covek da pratim taj NBA od sledece sezone... Mada,ako se nesto bitno ne promeni,bice to jos jedna smaracka sezona...

San Antonio i Klivlend,jos uvek ne verujem. Ovi prvi prosli zbog suspenzije Sansa a Klivlend samo zbog cinjenice da su se svi ostali na istoku raspali. Pa samo da je igrao Krstic izduvali bi od Netsa,sa sve raspalim Karterom. Jebote

opasna je to stvar. makar ja znam zashto mi je satelitska na krovu neiskorishcena... bejzbol od aprila do oktobra, hokej od oktobra do maja, nba od novembra do juna, plus nfl u medjuvremenu... previshe slobodnog vremena treba za ovaj zivot

O,pa ko se to nama javio posle duzeg vremena

Velika dilema - da li da na ovu dubokoumnu i nadasve argumentovanu analizu odgovorim sa par smajlija ili da napisem:


Dulisha,ti si jednostavno car.

Dulisha,ti si megacar.


Ipak ovo drugo.

slazem se, megacar™ je prava stvar!

I dalje ne verujem da su zvanicnici NBA dopustili da se zavrsi finale u 4 utakmice, bio sam uveren da ce Klivlend dobiti 4. i 5. uz pomoc sudija...

Inace jos uvek boli pomenuto ispadanje Sansa...

Ovo je definitivno najgori NBA plej-of koji sam u zivotu gledao, prosto ne verujem da cemo sledece godine imati gde da gledamo NBA na tv-u!

Tesko je bilo ocekivati da ce Cavsi moci ozbiljnije da se suprotstave u ovom finalu... Imali su svoje sanse, kada ih nisu iskoristili ovako nesto je bilo neminovno...
Ipak, ostaje nada da ce sledeca godina biti zanimljivija sa svim tradeovma koji su se desili na kraju, i svim koji ce se ovo leto neminovno desiti...
A nadam se da ce sledeca sezona biti bolja i za nase igrace, jer je ova stvarno bila katastrofalna...
