The list of surefire future Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers in the 2013 Finals matchup between the Heat and Spurs is absurdly long: Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker, Dwyane Wade, Ray Allen, Manu Ginobili, Chris Bosh, Erik Spoelstra.
Wait, 42-year-old Erik Spoelstra? Seriously?
Yes, according to ESPN commentator and former NBA coach Jeff Van Gundy, who said on a Finals conference call Tuesday that he believes the Heat’s young coach is destined for Springfield.
