Seriously, :censored: you, LeBron.

How do you expect LeBron to respond to a question about his haters? "Continue to hate me, guys... I'm a horrible human being"?

"No comment," maybe?

Should we really be surprised at the lack of class from #6? I can't believe how any company would want him as a spokesperson.

Neither can I. Who in the world would want the most marketable player in basketball, maybe all of sports, as someone to help you sell your products? It just makes no business sense I tell ya! No way can a guy who's exposed to literally billions of people help you successfully move product!

Ahh Cleveland...

Ok first off the Mavs- couldn't be happier for Dirk and Kidd and Terry etc. Awesome effort, awesome class in the way they have carried themselves, both in victory and defeat, and awesome spirit. The Mavs have been the anti-Heat over the season.

And with that onto the Heat. And all I have to say is that they brought all the schadenfreude on themselves.

Did anyone else thoroughly enjoy watching an appropriate but not over the top celebration from the Mavs? Forget the whole Cleveland/LeBron thing... I'm talking how Kidd, Terry, Chandler, Dirk, Marion, etc. they all just seemed to be so happy just holding the trophy, just knowing they were champions, that they didn't have to run around, pour champagne all over, take off their shirts and swing it around. It was refreshing to me.

As for LeBron and his comments... I mean, whatever.

And now they're playing "We Are The Champions" in the club.

Sports Karma exists. It has come full-circle for Miami.

EDIT: Mark Cuban dances to "We Fly High." Ok, I'm done now.

Holy cow.

I want Mark Cuban to buy one of my teams.

He should totally buy Cablevision including its assets so the rangers and knicks can stop sucking.

Now that I've had a chance to pull my sister down off Cloud Nine...teen Hundred... :P

...Congrats Mavs. I didn't get to see the final four games of the Finals, but I caught the first two and most of the rest of the postseason, and I thoroughly believe what we just saw outta Dirk Nowitzki will (or at least should) go down as one of the all-time greatest individual performances of all-time. Now, take that and look back at what the Mavs just accomplished...no less than THREE 15-point comebacks in the fourth quarter (once to the vaunted Lakers, once to a formidable OKC team, & again in the Finals--I mean, what team does that?), then go back & look at how they systematically dispatched of their opponents, two of whom are much-ballyhooed franchises, one the Lake Show, the other being the Heat, & it makes their achievements that much more remarkable. Then go back and look at all of whom, besides Dirk, just got a ring--one of the leagues's best and longest-enduring point guards in Jason Kidd, two of the best long-distance shooters currently in the game, Jason Terry (who I've feen following since his days in Atlanta), and Peja. Then there's Caron "I Chew on Straws & subsist on Mountain Dew" Butler. And lastly, if JJ Barea ever becomes a free agent, he'll be one hot commodity.

All that been said, this postseason may go down as one for the ages. Hell, the regular season was one of the best in recent memory. So much changing of the guard, and many fresh faces taking shape. Start with OKC, who I think everyone saw coming. NO ONE saw the Memphis Grizzlies getting on the hot streak they got one, nor did anyone predict Z-Bo having the breakout performance he had. Even in Chicago, where Derrick "I'll Break Your Ankles In My Sleep" Rose firmly & squarely put himself into the conscience of even casual NBA fan. And finally, though the conference didn't win the title this season, we saw the Eastern Conference close the gap some on its Western counterpart. There's the young Hawks, who have a pretty bright future ahead, the Knicks regained some relevancy, the Celtics are still the Celtics, and as long as Jay-Z still breathes, the Nets will continue to get talked about. All in all, I'll say that as a casual basketball observer, this season & postseason helped me regain fandom of the pro league game that hasn't existed since at least 'O3 or something like that.

One last word about the Mavs...my sister's long been a huge Mavericks fan, I know rainmaker17's a Mav fan, but now that they've won it all, watch how many "longtime/lifetime" Mavericks fans jump out the woodwork now. :P We saw it happen last season with another Dallas-area team, the Texas Rangers (even though they didn't win the World Series).

And I'll close with this: since we're discussing Dallas teams...they say good things happen in "threes" (pun fully intended--but watch where this one goes). Last year the Rangers won the AL pennant. The Mavericks just won the NBA title. IF the NFL gets this lockout situation resolved...might the Dallas area's recent god fortuned bode well for the Cowboys...can they complete the trifecta? Stay tuned to find out.

This outcome wasn't allowed to happen in the last Mavs-Heat final.

The refs handed that championship to Wade & Shaq.

This time the "stars" had to earn their calls, and despite the constant whining from the 3 amigos,

the refs let the guys play.

I hope this is a new trend in the NBA.

Over the last while, the NBA game has become more of an athletic display rather than a true competition.

The league can counter the player-manipulated super-teams, by allowing less talented teams to succeed

with better coaching, better strategy, and superior work ethics.

Parity can be better achieved by discontinuing the practice of preferred calls for the big names.

This year a better prepared, harder working, better coached Mavs team, defeated a Heat squad of

more talented, self-focused, self-entitled superstars.

That's good news for everyone.

...And, thank God, we don't have to watch Pat Riley dance again!
