Every Monday at 8:30am StarTribune sports writer Michael Rand stops into the Morning Show to share the latest news in Sports.

Today Michael Rand chatted with The Morning Show's Jill Riley and Steve Seel about:

1) The Spurs are NBA champs. They dismantled the star-heavy Heat in five games, winning the final game Sunday night. How did they do it? And is there any chance the Timberwolves could someday be a model franchise like San Antonio?

2) The Green Line is open! What does that mean for sports fans? A lot.

3) We talked World Cup last week, but the first US match is 5 pm Monday. Maybe we can revisit some of the US issues, such as a coach who said they can't win the Cup.
