[Radar Online] NBA Season Finally Ends ..(Cast of supporting dullards)

"Score another one for banality. The San Antonio Spurs, led by the most boring man in sports, Tim Duncan, and his cast of supporting dullards, defeated the Detroit Pistons last night to win the franchise’s third NBA title. That means no celebratory post-game parties with hookers and blow, no cars lit aflame by drunkenly crazed fans, and no outrageous salary renegotiation demands.

Yawn. We’re not sure anyone on the Spurs is even tough enough to get tattooed. The Pistons, meanwhile, feature Ben Wallace, who is so cool his hair alone turns pasty sportswriters into squealing school girls. They also have a guy, Richard Hamilton, who wears a protective mask on the court that Lon Chaney would’ve totally died for and a point guard with the Jerzy Kosinskian name of Chauncey Billups. But, as Ray Romano proved year after year after year, the currency of cool has little purchase in the wide world of wack. So we take solace in this: just as we’ve never met anyone who was polled by Nielson, we’ve never met anyone who actually loves Raymond." (MM & TG)
