It doesn't feel like it's been six years

The San Antonio Spurs finished their four-game sweep of Memphis with Monday's 93-86 victory and advanced to their first NBA Finals appearance since 2007, when they defeated a younger LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

It feels like yesterday to me, especially since the Spurs core of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan are still there and contributing.

       2013

See what I mean? It's like the Spurs never left (unlike LeBron James, who left Cleveland a couple of years later to join the Miami Heat).
