Dirk. Dallas. Done deal.
The beauty of Dirk Nowitzki staying with the franchise that drafted him - through the ups and the downs, the trades and the failures - working hard through every turn, despite not knowing whether he’d ever get another shot at winning and title and redeeming himself and his team.
I tip my cap.
Jason Terry got a new tattoo. That’ll be the closest LeBron gets to the trophy this year. #Fake
LeBron? Wade? Bosh?
Don’t we all have to say that, today, Tyson Chandler was the biggest and best off-season acquisition from the Summer 2010? The guy changed the culture in Big D.
I’m not going to say Chandler is as good as Kevin Garnett, nor will I say he affected the Mavs as much as KG affected the Celtics, but I can and will say this:
The results are the same. Each has 1 championship ring.
REQUIRED READING: Perseverance pays off for Nowitzki, Mavs
Adrian Wojnarowski just put everyone that writes about sports, especially the NBA, on full notice. MUST READ.
Read it now.
Yes, he clutched the trophy, but mostly the memories of making the Mavericks a relevant franchise out of a joke, carving a legacy and a legend as a forever hero. LeBron James will win a title, but he’ll never own it the way that Dirk Nowitzki did this one.
This wasn’t even a Top 10 excerpt from this piece. I don’t want to ruin it. Go read. Then come back and laugh at silly photos and inane blathering.
I was going to try and write something about this game, but Adrian Wojnarowski just dropped a bomb, and now all is lost.
Why do these guys do their press conferences together again? Seems strange each needs the other up there for an easy excuse or support.
And what an insult to Bosh. Poor Alfred’s forced to go out and fend for himself. A man alone. You wonder why other players in the league goof on Heat and refuse to acknowledge Miami’s “Big 3.” The guy’s not allowed in the club.
