Re: "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE." I. Want. That. Shirt. Lol. Let the trash talk begin. Dallas was pretty damn reserved all post season long. I have no problems if they start a little trash talking.
Re: "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE." And it keeps getting better... Governor Kasich: Mavericks are 'Honorary Ohioans' Revenge for "The Decision" now bears an executive seal. John Kasich, Governor of the state of Ohio, took the unusual step of honoring a team with no geographical ties to his jurisdiction. On Monday, one day after the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA Finals, Kasich's office released a press release noting that the governor had issued a resolution that declared that the Mavericks, their friends, family and fans are now officially "Honorary Ohioans." Why would he do this? Retribution, of course. The Heat were led by Ohio native former Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, who opted to take his talents to South Beach last summer rather than return to play for the Cavaliers. In return, fans in Ohio booed him mercilessly during his two return visits to Cleveland and openly rooted for the Heat to get bounced from the playoffs. The resolution specifically praises Dallas' "loyalty, integrity and teamwork" and specifically praises Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki for choosing to re-sign with the Mavericks last summer. Kasich's resolution bears the official seal of Ohio, bestows upon the Mavericks "all privileges and honors" that goes with the title "Honorary Ohioans" and is signed at the bottom. You know who definitely finds this hilarious and awesome? Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who issued his own decree on Sunday night. http://eye-on-basketball.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/30005543
Re: OT: LeBron will never be as good as MJ But, but, but . . . Rashard Lewis is sleeping with his girlfriend (supposedly). And last year it was LeDouche's Mommy sleeping with DeLonte (supposedly). And next time it'll be Spoelstra sleeping with his auntie. Poor LeBronze, there's just always so much off-court stuff going on that prevents him from truly being great.
Re: "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE." I've never been happier for an NBA champion in my lifetime. We're all Mavericks.
Re: "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE." I agree, PapaG. If the Blazers weren't going to win, I wanted Dallas
Re: "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE." I would give my right nut to guarantee LeBitch never wins a ring.
Re: "HEY LEBRON! HOW'S MY DIRK TASTE." I'll add that I think I was happy in 1977, but I wasn't even in kindergarten when the Blazers won their title.
James' scoring drop largest in NBA history http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=6657084 Can you say "choke"?
Re: James' scoring drop largest in NBA history After the game I was listening to some national radio show and the host mentioned that there was a possession when Miami was down 8 in the 4th quarter where LeBron passed up an open shot 3 times during the possession. I couldn't remember the play, but he did look like he was playing a little scared last night.
Re: James' scoring drop largest in NBA history I remember that play. The Heat had like 5 open looks at a jumper and decided to repeatedly drive to the basket and pass out. Eventually led to a turnover.
