It hasn't happened in 18 years, But it's the NBA Finals and the Sixers are here. It's been a long time since Moses and Dr. J., But the Sixers are playing like the good old days. Shooting and defense, both ends of the floor, They've shown every team in the East the door. First we took out the Pacers, without breaking a sweat, Then we clubbed the Raptors, and cut down the net. The Bucks from Milwaukee took us the full seven, But the final game was a rout, and we're in hoops heaven. We have the Answer, Alan Iverson, the league MVP, The best little scorer you ever did see. No one can guard him, he's just too quick, No team of five can do the trick. We have the Coach of the Year, the great Larry Brown, A man who has been around many a town. A strategist, a motivator, a leader of men, He's the best coach since . . . I don't know when. Big Dikembe Motumbo is the Defensive Player of the Year, His swats in the paint make grown men fear. Aaron McKie, the league's best super sub, Has joined the NBA's Best Sixth Man Club. Short-handed, banged-up, backs against the wall, The Sixers bandwagon refuses to stall. Owner Pat Croce is on the edge of the seat, Waiting to hand the Lakers a monumental defeat. The Lakers await, after their sweep, But they can put away the brooms and get ready to weep. They played well, blowing through the West, But they will need every minute of their long 10-day rest.
