Congrats to the 2010-2011 Champion Dallas Mavericks
An unbelievable run beating 4 really good teams, Portland, LA, OKC, and the Heat...I don't think they could have taken a harder road to winning it all.
So many stories:
Vindication for one of the all time greats to play, Dirk. I felt I was the only one defending the guy after the 2006 loss in the Finals. I argued with fellow fans about keeping Dirk because he's great. I didn't even want to trade him for Kobe and for him to finally win it and play so fucking well...I'm just so happy for him. I've watched proably 70 games/season since 1993 and this was the sports day I've waited for my entire life.
Kidd finally gets his ring.
Terry comes up big after talking publically.
Everyone came up big in a total team effort. Dan Gilbert's comments were spot on: not shortcuts and Dirk didn't take one and it paid off. Thank you Dirk for sticking with the Mavs and working so hard to get to this point.
Congrats Dallas, congrats Dirk, and congrats to the Mavs.
