I've been waiting all my life for this, I remember going to a Mavs game against Clyde Drexler and the Blazers, Kidd was still on that team along with Masburn and Jimmy Jackson. This is a great feeling, congratulations to the Mavs, you guys deserve it!
But I was rooting for Dallas the whole time... Stand up Gents they are! (I'm not a LeBron Hater, just a Dirk fan)
Thought HEat was going to beat em until the crazy comeback from 15 down in game 2!
Also glad cause they netted me some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ over the 6 games!
DIRK NOWITZKI WITH A CHURCHILL HANGING OUT OF HIS FACE!!! :-)
Somewhere, Red Auerbach is smilin'...
Some of my favs:
Magic Johnson - "it's good to see a good TEAM beat great individuals"
Dirk on Wade and James mock coughing - "that's just childish:
If I was Lebron's coach/mentor - here's what I'd make him do:
1) Watch every bit of video available on Adrian Dantley (dating myself here - but those of you who remember - he had the best back to the basket, back-down game around)
2) I'd make Lebron learn all those moves and a few of his own.
3) Re-vamp the Heat offense to get the ball to Lebron 10 feet from the basket, with his back to the basket. He starts to do the back-down, and the offense starts when the double team comes.
I'm not a Lebron fan at all - in fact - I think he has a lot of growing up to do and has to learn as to how to handle the media better when asked tough and repetitive questions.
However, if Lebron just learned half of Dantley's around the basket moves, he would be unstoppable. Too quick for big men, too powerful for smaller men, and quite frankly, too powerful for most of the big men if he really WANTED it, which I'm not so sure he does after watching most of this series.
He simply doesn't play as tough as his body is capable of playing. Translation = soft????
