CHICAGO ¨C The great American sportswriter Grantland Rice wrote a poem, ¡°Alumnus Football,¡± that ended like this:
¡°When the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes ¡ª not that you won or lost ¡ª but how you played the Game.¡±
I thought of those lines when considering the San Antonio Spurs and their five-game demolition of the Miami Heat for the 2014 NBA title.
