Re: 2011 NBA Finals Game 6 thread: Mavericks at Heat
Congratulations Mavs fans! You guys have been the running joke around here and the NBA in general over the past 5-6 years. That all changes now. We as a community need to select a new franchise and fan base to chastise for regularly choking in the playoffs.

I'm so glad Dirk and Kidd got a ring, those guys deserve it more them most. I can even forgive them murdering the Lakers for that, catching up with the Celtics in Championships can wait another year!

And hey, at least my Lakers lost to the best team in the NBA. So some validation there.
I pretty much agree with all of this. LeBron's a very good player but many players on the Mavs deserved rings way more than LeBron does (Dirk, Kidd, Peja, Marion... LeBron still has plenty of time while it was probably their last chance) and his performances in most of the games in the series (and all of the 4th quarters) hopefully should end the comparisons to Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, etc. as he was way too passive when the going got tough. The all time greats come through when their team needs them to most...
