NBA Finals

*The 2003 NBA Finals marked the first championship contested between two former ABA teams.
*Continental Airlines Arena had a unique situation as the series shifted back to New Jersey. As the Spurs and Nets got ready to play Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals, which featured the New Jersey Devils, was going into a 7th and deciding game, which was going to be played at New Jersey. So as soon as Game 3 ended, the arena made a quick turnover to get ready for the next day's deciding Stanley Cup Finals match (and Stanley Cup celebration since the Devils would wind up winning the game), and then back again in time for Game 4 of the NBA Finals the following day.
*In the series clinching game, Tim Duncan came two blocks shy of a quadruple-double in an NBA Finals match, an extremely rare feat, finishing with 22 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and 8 blocks.
*Duncan became the 7th player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP award a second time. He joined the list of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal.

The Finals were played using a 2-3-2 site format, where the first two and last two games are held at the team with home court advantage. The NBA, after experimenting in the early years, restored this original format for the Finals in 1985. As of yet, the other playoff series are still running on a 2-2-1-1-1 site format.
