Spus are Home

The fans in San Antonio turned out to welcome home the 2007 NBA World Champion San Antonio Spurs. A few thousand fans took off from work and whatever responsibilites they had to take shuttles to the San Antonio International Airport(SAT). Why you might ask, well hello to welcome home our Champions. The fans beared the heat and the concrete to be on hand for a mini celebration. The Spurs Coyote got the crowd worked up by brining out the 3 previous championship tropies one at time. Placing them in front of cards with the years of the win ('99, '03, '05) leaving 2007 empty.

The players then came off the plane looking refreshed and still full of excitement from their clinching win last night before. Tim Duncan then followed his teammates to the stage carrying the new 2007 Championship Trophy. Bruce Bowen, ever the MC, took to the microphone and immediately led the fans in "GO SPURS GO" cheer. He then passed the mic to Finals MVP Tony Parker, who thanked the fans for their support and love. Michael Finely then got to the microphone and showed his deep appreciation for the fans and the team and for winning his 1st championship in his 12 year career. This was ultimately a resounding success and fans loved it and cheered "GO SPURS GO" as the team the stage to depart on buses.

The river parade is going to be on Sunday at 6 followed by the Alamodome celebration. I can't wait, I am going to upload videos from the party.
