Dallas Mavericks: 2011 NBA Champions

After years of waiting, the Dallas Mavericks finally won their first NBA Championship.

It was great to watch the Mavs beat the Miami Heat but it was nerve wrecking. I don't remember much of the games other than pacing back and forth getting pissed because we would either blow an early lead of just breakdown completely. But luckily that was for only a couple of games.

When the Mavs finally did beat the Heat, Dallas went crazy. There were parties going on all over the place from the American Airlines Arena, where the Mavs play, to Lower Greenville to people just emptying the bars and crowding the streets.

By the next day, bootleg t-shirts and other Mavericks apparel were hitting the streets at a rapid rate. So far, I think my favorite t-shirt that I saw was a pink Dallas Mavericks shirt that was completely misspelled and off centered. The colors were also completely wrong, but at least anyone can buy 2 shirts for $10.
