Interestingly enough, Duncan said it was the best series he's been a part of.

Its been a long time since I've since seen a NBA player whine nearly as much as Duncan did during that series. You would think that he's never committed a foul in his whole career. It got old quick. He wasn't the only one on the team doing it made it, either. Parker was almost as bad and Ginobili was getting into the act as well. But Duncan was definitely the king.
Also, I disagree that they all act like that. I sure didn't see Dirk putting on a similar performance on the other side of the ball.
Nevertheless, it was a great series to watch. Tim was positively dominant in the middle and Ginobili played great(with the exception of that major brain fart near the end of the regulation in game 7 when he fouled Dirk). I think that it just came down to the Spurs not having as much footspeed as the Mavs.
