Dallas Mavericks NBA Champions!

June 12, 2011

The Dallas Maverick's are National Champions! I am so happy for this team, especially for Dirk Nowitzki. The whole state of Texas is celebrating. Heck, I think a lot of the country is, especially for Dirk, a veteran of this league who deserves a title. Daddy and I have been following them since we moved here and we both have liked the Mavericks even before then. I always liked them because they were close to Oklahoma City and we didn't have a pro team. I have also always loved Dirk. Daddy has had season tickets for many years, so we have watched the team through all it's ups and downs and followed the players, so it was very exciting to see them win! It's been a fun sports year to live in Dallas. The Rangers almost won the AL Pennant, The Super Bowl was played in the new Dallas Cowboys stadium, and the Dallas Maverick's are NBA Champions!

FUN FACTS
-This is the Maverick's first title in franchise history (est. 1980).
-This is Dirk's first Championship and he was named MVP.
-They played the toughest team in the NBA - The Miami Heat. Everyone had their money on the Heat as they have two of the best players in the NBA - LeBron James and Dwayne Wade (D-Wade)
-Score of final game: 105-95 Dallas
-Dirk had 21 points
-Jason Terry had 27 points and he was phenomenal.
-LeBron had 21 points and 6 turnovers and is taking a lot heat for the loss (pun intended).

By the time you are 11 or 12, LeBron will be considered middle aged for the NBA. Right now, he is one of it's super stars.

Dirk is the man. A superstar from Germany. He is in his 13th year with the Maverick's, he moves well for a 7-footer and he has carried the Mavs on his back. Plus, he is humble, and there is nothing better than when a superstar posses this quality.

p.s. You have a great basketball shot for a 3-year-old - no joke!

Mavericks vs Heat - Game 3 of NBA Finals

Hudson,

Daddy and Mamma went to Game 3 of the NBA Finals to see the Dallas Mavericks play the Miami Heat. It was so much fun and exciting to be there. For the Mavericks, they are the underdogs and they are chasing their first NBA championship and Dirk Nowitzki his first ring. I really want him to get it - he is one of my favorite players. For the Heat - they are the best team in the NBA with Lebron James and Dwayne Wade in their pocket. They have been expected to win it all since the beginning of the season, especially with the acquisition of James.

The Mavericks almost pulled another miracle comeback, but lost to the Heat 88-86. Heat now up 2-1 for the series. Dirk was amazing with 34 points and 11 rebounds, however, he missed a fade away shot in the final seconds to tie the game. It was so sad!

LeBron James didn't have a great - 17 points and just took three shots in the 4th quarter. But, wade was awesome with 29 points and he scored 7 of Miami's final 9 points.

It was a great game, but heartbreaking to see the Mavs lose after such a tough fight. It was very cool to see some great NBA super stars who will be in the hall of fame, however, they will be old to you by the time you are 10!

Mavericks leave these t-shirts on everyone's chairs. If you don't wear one, they will point you on the big screen and ostracize you!
