How does this work? The Mavs are finally in the NBA Finals and I am trying to figure out how I am supposed to act. I guess I'll have to draw from the Cowboys superbowl years.
I have so much man-love for Dirk right now, it's not even funny. But lets not forget J-Ho, Jet, Diop and Stack.
Stack - 11 year vet. Has been so instrumental in getting this team to where it is. At times, is so clutch. But man, there are those moments when he just loses his mind and does the strangest things that make you wonder why he's even on the court. Still, it's those clutch moments like he had in game six last night that point to his value to this team.
Diop - what, are you kidding me? What a freak he is on D. Diaw finally figured him out. I don't want to get out of the 'here and now' because these are good times, but can you see the potential this kid has? The more pressure time he spends in games could fully translate into the 2nd coming of Bill Russell - okay I'm way ahead of myself, but it is fun to speculate.
Jet - need ya, big fella. Cut out the early foul trouble. I guess you can't do that if you want to keep it real. But keeping it real doesn't work so well when your ass is riding the pine. Need you in the game.
Josh - Keep doing what you are doing.
I moved to Dallas in 1988. Remember those days? Short shorts and Don Carter Cowboy hats...
Being a Kansas State Alum, I always wanted to go to a Mavs game when they were hosting Golden State so I could get a pic with Ro and Mitch Richmond. Alas, that never happened. Put that on the list of things I wish I would've done in my life. I guess it could still happen, if I could ever figure out where Mitch is these days. (does anyone remember the K-state B-Ball days with Hensen at the point and Richmond and Norris 'Sarge' Colemen at forwards?) let me hear from you!
Good times. Go Mavver.
