I JUST CAN'T RESIST
Today, a bit of a sports aside, but...hey, let's face it, it's not really a stretch, one that has a tie-in for all of us with Moebius.  And it's this:  the Dallas Mavericks are now NBA champions, beating the Miami Heat last night to take the NBA Finals, 4 games to 2.  And when the playoffs began nearly two months ago, nobody believed in the Mavs and their superstar, Dirk Nowitzki, or in their soon to be hall of fame point guard, Jason Kidd.  Nah--the Mavs were aging, they were too soft, they couldn't do this, they couldn't do that.  But, and I know it seems trite and way too simple, but eventually the Mavs' hard work, determination, and try-try-try again spirit...led to something.  How many times have people hinted to those of you with Moebius or with other physical differences that you'll never be able to do this or that?  Well, always remember--they said that to Dirk and the Mavs too.  But now:
"The Dallas Mavericks are kings of the hill.
The Mavericks defeated a Miami team that all but promised this city a championship; in the process, Dallas won the first championship in franchise history. With their 105-95 victory in Game 6, the Mavericks won an odd, contentious series that became a game-to-game referendum on LeBron James, who set this entire process in motion last July when he announced that he was leaving Cleveland to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach.
James’s nationally televised announcement ignited a backlash that crested in this series and will only intensify in the wake of his finals implosion. He will have all summer to unravel that drama for anyone who cares to watch.
The real story is Dallas and its two veteran stars, Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki. Nowitzki and Kidd can finally exhale and remove their names from a list of infamy: longtime N.B.A. vets who never won a championship.
In Kidd’s 17th season and Nowitzki’s 13th, they are finally part of the championship club.
“If I would have won one early in my career, maybe I would have never put all the work and the time in that I have over the last 13 years,” Nowitzki said. “So this feels amazing.”
