First things first, congratulations have to go the the Dallas Mavericks for beating the Miami Heat in a series that they had no chance of winning according to the sporting public. Dallas was playing with house money from Game 1 on because it seemed like people were beginning to make excuses for Dirk Nowitski not winning his ring, it was all set in stone that the Dallas Mavericks were set to be tragic losers once again.
Well, it didn't happen and it didn't happen for a bunch of reasons and just to make the record clear, I picked the Mavs in seven game before the Finals began and it wasn't because of hate or LeBron or any of that, but rather because of size, depth and Dirk being the MVP of the postseason going into the Finals. It's always a great sight to see a deserving superstar get his first ring and Dirk and Kidd and Terry all deserved to win this series because of the long fight all of those players put in over the years to get to this moment and they finally achieved it.
Game 6 may have been the least competitive game in this NBA Finals, the one thing it had going for ti down the stretch was the threat of someone stepping up for the Heat to make that last run, but it never really happened and the Mavericks kinda coasted to the win and it made the loss for the Heat that much more telling.
The fight was clearly gone from the Heat bench as they entered the last couple minutes and it was quite the sight.
Lebron James last night completed one of the worst NBA Finals for any superstar ever. It's amazing how numbers almost have to be disregarded to consider the way he played in this series. He had as many turnovers as he did assists.
