23 years after the NBA-ABA merger, the Spurs are the first former ABA team to make the NBA finals. For those who still haven't gotten over Duncan not coming to the Celts, at least he didn't go to one of the hated teams such as NY, LA or Philly. That would be torture. At least I can live with Duncan taking the Spurs to the finals. -- Mike Dynon North Kingstown, RI
