Dallas Mavericks Are The Opposite of Super Gay!

(READ BEFORE READING! I was looking through some old drafts that were actually never posted. I think I wrote this shortly after the Mavs won the championship but I just never posted it.  Its actually a pretty good little read. I didn't fully edit it so any critics on grammar you can go pound sand.  Its a stupid blog, not the New Yorker.)

Wow I know it might take a DFW team for me to actually break down and write something down. Lets begin where it all started. My Mavericks fandom has been very pedestrian. I knew they were always around but I was never really a fan. Mavericks were just tier higher than the Dallas Sidekicks. Its not my fault! I was born into a baseball/football family. Basketball was that thing I really wasn't good at, so screw it. The 90's Mavericks were awful, just dreadful. The 80's Mavericks, don't know, I was only around for 3 years (I'm pretty sure I still wouldn't of cared). The 2000's was when my Maverick consciousness came on. I knew they had some big German, a Canadian and an actually good player. So why not, I'll start watching. Its also when our new psycho owner started getting well....crazy. Slowly and slowly my Mavs fandom started building. i was surprised to find out, I was actually a fan of the Mavericks. I swore off basketball for the longest time. I thought football and baseball would be enough. Then the year of 2006, my fandom turned into something a little scary. I was a huge Mavs fan. I thought finally there was a winner in Texas and dammit there hadn't been one in so long. I watched every game in the playoffs and I watched the finals. Watching the finals I then watch one of the biggest meltdowns in finals history. I was pissed! I was pissed at the Mavs! I was pissed at our douche bag owner! I was pissed at Dirk who I thought choked big time! I was pissed at the game of basketball! It was bullsh! How could this happen!?

Now five years pass and I for some reason start to get back into the Mavs. Maybe it was help from Mark Followill on twitter or just all the crazy dudes on this team. First of all in the five years I have realized Dirk is much better now that he could of even thought of being 5 years ago. If Dirk wasn't on this team, they would be beating out Cleveland for the lottery pick. Tyson Chandler is one of my new favorite Mav. Son of a bitch is from Compton, enough said. Shawn Marion does shoot from his nut sack but damn he makes plays and looks sooo fly! DeShawn Stevenson has a tattoo of Abe Lincoln on his throat and Jason Terry has a tattoo of the damn trophy on his arm. Jason Kidd was the only Mav I liked years ago. Peja was asshole in Sacramento but damn he can't shoot some threes (NOT IN FINALS THOUGH). Brian Cardinal is the whitest dude I've ever seen...and I love it! Gives all those little white kids hopes that maybe if they are tall and can shoot 3's there is a chance.

Now to the night in question. I was getting more and more drunk throughout this game. I don't even like drinking anymore, I just needed it to get through these intense games. Dirk was sucking but for some reason we were winning. I knew this was a good sign but I'm always looking for the other shoe to drop. Jason Terry was playing like a man possessed and surprisingly so were a few other players. Ian Mahimi was hitting shots like Dirk and making really good plays. Then Tyson goes into foul trouble with 5 and I just get nervous. Lebron wasn't even a factor. I wanted him to get the ball, but the bastard wouldn't take it. He just passed the damn thing like he didn't want it. Dwyane Wade was really not much a threat but it was always lurking. Then it got into the last 2 minutes of the game and I think it was when Wade bounced the ball off his foot. I couldn't believe it! This guy had single handily beaten us two games and threaten the other 3. The clock kept ticking the Heat were doing jack shit and I was suddenly believing my team...my friggin team was about to win a NBA Championship.....Hold on WE DID!

What makes all this great is for one is Dirk. Dirk is probably the hardest working guys in basketball, shooting in the gym for hours with his ex-nazi coach (unconfirmed). Jason Kidd again, my favorite, even though he still talks like a librarian. Yeah I'm real happy for Mark Cuban but come on he spent millions of dollars (still a billionaire) and was kind of a jerk off for while. So i'm happy for Mark but only to an extent. But the real winners in all this is the DFW area. We needed this, we deserve this. We don't get a lot of these for some reason but I do believe we are a very passionate sports town. So now I'll leave you all with this. Take it in everyone, enjoy it. It might now happen for a really long time. I will admit my sport chills and the tearing up did happen but I will say. The Mavs winning this will not feel the same, when the Rangers win the World Series. That's right I said when! Way to go MAVS!! WOOOOHOOOO!!
