Smith Applauds Spurs Victory

Washington, Jun 15 -

Congressman Lamar Smith (R−San Antonio) issued the following statement regarding the San Antonio Spurs fourth NBA Championship:

“The San Antonio Spurs swept the Cleveland Cavaliers to win their third NBA championship in five years. Tim Duncan’s defense and Tony Parker’s unbelievable shooting from long distance and in the paint were simply too much for the Cavs.

“I congratulate the Spurs on their title. However, what I’m most proud of is the way in which the Spurs have won these titles. They are neither glitzy nor cocky on the court. They simply play hard and win. To me, that’s the mark of a true champion.

“Coach Gregg Popovich ranks fifth in playoff wins and second in winning percentage and truly is one of the all-time great coaches.”
