From LeBron’s block to Jordan’s 41: the greatest NBA finals MVPs
Dirk Nowitzki earned his only championship playing against “the Heatles,” the Miami super team formed when perennial All-Stars LeBron James and Chris Bosh took their talents to South Beach to join Dwyane Wade, yet another perennial All-Star. Game 1 of the series immediately gave the oddsmakers reason for concern. In a tense, low-scoring affair in Miami, Nowitzki used a splint to shrug off an in-game torn tendon in his left hand before hitting the game-winner with the very hand he injured. He then won Game 4 despite having a sinus infection and a fever of 101F, confirming his now undisputed ability to play excellently through trying circumstances.
Héroes, obreros y mucha defensa: las claves de la lucha por el anillo
Las Finales de 2022 tienen, parece obvio, una pinta excelente. Se enfrentan dos históricos, Warriors y Celtics. Dos de los tres equipos originales que están en competición desde la llegada de la BAA en 1946, la precuela de la NBA. El otro es New York Knicks. Dos de los tres con más Finales (siguen a los destacadísimos Lakers) y dos de los cuatro con más anillos: los Celtics empatan con los angelinos en la cabeza (17) y los Warriors tienen los mismos que los Bulls. En 1964, un Celtics-Warriors (4-1 verde) marcó el primero de los dos duelos por el anillo entre Bill Russell y Wilt Chamberlain. En 1969, con este último ya en los Lakers, volvió a ganar, cómo no, Russell.
