The Spurs will be fine, as they have already stacked up a nice record for themselves (best in the NBA to be exact) and are generally excellent at plugging in pieces to combat the wear and tear of the regular season.
Thus, the part that sticks out about this story is the fact that Parker's injury all but seals up the NBA MVP award for LeBron James.
LeBron, who is already a three-time NBA MVP and is arguably playing some of the best ball of his career, probably would have taken the hardware home anyway, but Parker was a popular pick to challenge 'The King' for his crown.
You can mention Kevin Durant and Chris Paul as contenders, as both have been playing excellent ball this season, but in all actuality with Parker out of the picture, LeBron will likely coast to his fourth MVP trophy.

In other news, I have largely ignored all of the "Harlem Shake" videos that have been popping up all over the internet, especially considering that the Harlem shake, an actual dance move, doesn't appear anywhere in the videos.
The Miami Heat however, did an excellent job with their own version of the dance, and I found it quite entertaining.
I love the bond between the players that the video displays, and the fact that a team can be completely focused on the court but still manage to have fun off of it; that's how it should be. Props to LeBron and the gang for this hilarious version.
My personal favorite parts are Birdman's flapping introduction, Lebron's Terry Crews-esque dance moves, and Mario Chalmers dressed up as Super Mario. Check out the video below:
