The San Antonio Spurs were on national television twice in the last two weeks. They just happened to be playing the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers. But I don't care. I was able to see my favorite team play, and better yet, I saw them win. The Spurs are the hottest team in the NBA, winning 25 of their last 29 games, have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, have beaten each of their major rivals in the last few weeks and are threatening to overtake the Jazz and the Portland TrailBlazers at the top of the standings.
Life is good.
Now if only Tiger Woods and David Duval could be so congenial. Wayne Gretzky's retirement was one of those great, memorable sports moments. The sight of him skating around the rink after his final game to the admiration of his fans is etched in my brain. Gretzky was a great player, is a great person and his retirement was a great event. Fans will remember it forever.
