    Well we should be getting a new one next year anyways. But sad nonetheless.

    Guys relax these are not the real trophies.... They are replicas used for viewing by the general public and what not ..the real ones are in a vault deep below Toyota Center.

    Our very own Air Bullard broke the trophy. Like someone mentioned earlier he seperated the ball portion of the trophy in the locker room. I can't remember if it was 94 or 95 though. He came out with a beer can and the broken trophy for an interview well after the game and admitted it.

    As for the trophys in the pics, those are just cheap Chinese knock offs.

    Lex Alexander practicing his golf putting with them in his office unprotected.

    Yes, he's a terrible putter...as you can clearly see.

    It's my fault.. it's my fault we missed the free throws, my fault we give up easy points, my fault some fans ordered heniken and got bud light... and it's also my fault the trophies are broken.

    T-mac isn't to blame for one... he may have dropped the ball on playoffs but certainly never had his hands on a Finals Trophy! ;)
