Congratulations to the Dallas Mavericks for winning their first NBA Championship!!
I'm not even a Mavericks fan like that, but I like good basketball, and REAL recognize REAL. So unlike most talking heads and media outlets, let me first start by saluting the Dallas Mavericks for simply playing like the better team in the NBA Finals. While others seem to rely on condemning the Miami Heat, and specifically Lebron James, for what they/he didn't do, I believe Dallas was more consistent in the majority of key areas that made the difference in 4-out-of-6 games.
Dirk showed up in the clutch, the role players effectively played their roles, the shooters made the shots they needed to, the bigs crashed the boards, their overall team-defense was solid, and the veterans managed the late game situations with leadership, experience, and poise throughout the entire series. So in my opinion, it was much more a showcase of how "Dallas WON" rather than how "Miami LOST". But then again, I'm not that much of a critic either...
In a post-game interview on NBA-TV, Dallas Owner, Mark Cuban finally took his muzzle off and voiced his opinion about the playoffs. When asked about the fan support, Cuban quickly cited the array of blue shirts that were witnessed througout the Miami crowd exclaiming, "OUR FANS punked the H3LL out of the Miami fans!" That was hilarious...
Special shout outs to the veteran Jason Kidd, arguably one of the TRUEST PGs of all-time... I'm proud he finally got him one.
Welp, that concludes another great NBA season, and I hope the threat of a potential NBA-lockout during the 2011-2012 lacks the foundation to become a devastating reality. But in the meantime, I'll let my man Rasheed take us out from here... hahaha classic, like YAK!
