On Sunday night, the -Cleveland Cavaliers made quite a few grumpy old men very happy by beating the Golden State -Warriors 93-89 to win the NBA title.
Why the mood change? Because the Warriors' loss -allegedly reinforced the notion that their style of basketball - perimeter-oriented, jump-shot based - wasn't "real" basketball. That in eras gone by, they couldn't have succeeded. The Cavaliers' win proved that millennial basketball was inferior to "old-school" basketball, -returning a sense of normalcy to the basketball universe.
Which is pure nonsense. Yes Nike Air Max Plus TN Womens Sale , the Warriors were more of a perimeter-oriented team than most championship teams of the past half-century. And all that style allowed them to do was a) capture the regular -season record for wins, b) advance to two consecutive NBA Finals, c) win the first of those Finals fairly handily and d) come within five points of -winning the second one.
Similarly ridiculous is the notion that there has always been one definitive way to win an NBA championship in the modern era. The "Showtime" Los Angeles Lakers dominated the 1980s by fast-breaking their opponents into oxygen-deprived submission. Success in the 90s belonged to both the thuggish Detroit Pistons and the precision-based, superstar-driven Chicago Bulls.
Since then, the San Antonio Spurs have won five titles with a fluctuating roster and a -variety of different playing styles. Like life, professional sports tend to be constantly evolving Nike Air Max Plus TN Mens Sale , so next year's champions might very well look different from this year's champions, who looked different than the previous year's champions and so on.
The Warriors didn't lose this year's Finals because they were a jump-shooting team or because basketball was -inherently back when their dads or -grandpas were watching it. They lost because -LeBron James played like a man -possessed and led his team back from a 3-1 -deficit. That feat had never been -accomplished -before, which proves that once in a while, the NBA present can be measured against its past.

BEIJING, March 9 (Xinhua) -- It was a long, dark Nike Air Max Plus TN Sale , snowy winter'snight in 1989. Two street lights sway in the darkness. Yann Laymawas behind the wheel of a jeep in the remote mountains of thesouthwest province of Guizhou.
Suddenly, the car ground to a halt and Yann, along with his twocompanions, had no choice but to walk over 10 kilometers to reachthe ethnic minority community he was going to photograph.
"We did not have enough clothes, so we put newspapers inside ourthin jackets to keep warm," Yann said in pidgin Chinese.
However Nike Air Max Plus NS GPX Sale , they fell through an ice hole. "We were so cold and onthe edge of death," Yann said. "But the villagers dared not help usas China was at the very early beginning of opening-up," Yannexplained. Foreigners, especially in the more under-developedGuizhou, were still a rare sight.
"In their eyes, I was a ghost." Yann said. Finally a girl andher father offered them help. They gave Yann alcohol to warm thebody and emptied a bed for his rest.
This is just one of Yann's stories that span 30 years in China Nike Air Max Plus Mens Sale ,during which he walked across most of the country.
In 1984, Yann was commissioned to take photographs for thenFrench president Francois Mitterand in the Elysee Palace, Paris,France, for one year. During this time, Francois recommended thatYann read Confucius Nike Air Max Plus Gradient Sale , the famous ideologist and philosopher.
Through his reading, Yann fell in love with the far eastcountry.
The inspiration for moving to China came to him in a dream: "Idreamed of taking photographs in China."
It was to be his psychiatrist that suggested he follow his dreamand he gave him a camera.
After studying Chinese in Paris for one year, He went to Taiwanand was given the name "Yan Lei" (thunder in hell).
He moved to Beijing in 1985.
"When I first arrived, there was no expressway and the roadswere full of bicycles."
"The people wore grey and there was not much commercialindustry," he said. "But it was pure like water."
"It is difficult for young people today to understand whatBeijing was like as China has seen remarkable development over thepast few decades," Yann said.
In his words Nike Air Max Plus Sunset Sale , China's beauty not only exists in colorful ethnicminority regions and grand landscapes, but can also could be foundin common daily life.
Some of his favorite images portray old women. "They all hadbound feet, a practice that crippled women both physically andspiritually in feudal society," Yann explained. "These images aresnapshots of real life that reflects real history."
His photos range from young people's underground disco party tothe operation of China's first stock exchange.
