The San Antonio Spurs, the NBA’s most international team, showed the world the best brand of team basketball in exacting payback from the Miami Heat in this year’s NBA Finals.

For five games, the Spurs weathered LeBron James and the Heat to win the series, 4-1, and clinch their fifth title in the last three decades. They also avenged their loss to Miami in the previous finals.

Kawhi Leonard was a revelation and came away with the Finals MVP Award.
