I remember way back in October at the start of the season, hidden somewhere deep inside of me, good feelings and hope for the Mavs in 2011. But never did I imagine this day would come, the Mavs are the World Champions. I can't describe the joy I felt, embracing friends and witnessing the last two minutes of what was already the sealed win of the last game of the NBA Finals. And winning on Miami's home turf much the same way they did in Dallas in the finals of '06 made it seem a bit more special. I'm not one to ever describe my home team in terms of "we", as I see it, it was all them. They certainly earned it. I did secretely took joy in hearing one unnamed announcer proclaim that the Mavs were simply "the better team." This coming from a guy who picked the Heat to win the Championship at the start of the Finals. They earned the credit that perhaps they'll finally receive. A team of virtually no national media recoginition, no big name stars, actually earning the NBA title in spite of all odds, simply put: wow.
What a strange day this has turned out to be. It feels like the end of a movie.....roll the credits.
