Look at that leaping ability, the grace! There's no way the end of this play went wrong! However, there's no story there.
Or is there?
You might consider the Dallas Mavericks the greatest franchise in the history of organized sports. I certainly would.
Think about it like this: The Dallas Mavericks are better as the losing competitor than all other teams in history when they win.
Let that sink in.
Look at the glorious and awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping performances from our Mavericks. There is Brendan Haywood with 19 boards and five blocks. Dirk Nowitzki -- the ol' stalwart and world-renowned athlete -- had 20 points.
Teammate and all-around good guy, Shawn Marion, had 21 points. Of course, Marion could care less about starting. Given the choice, Marion would rather be caring for refugees in Sudan or volunteering at a soup kitchen instead of playing professional basketball.
J.J. Barea and Jason Terry -- terrific defenders, both -- combined to go 10-22 and 27 points off the bench.
Even Ian Mahinmi collected five fouls, tied for most in the game with Denver's Nene Hilario. The difference? Hilario got his five in 35 minutes. Mahinmi got it in 15 minutes of play. Beat that, assholes.
At halftime, spectators were honored with owner Mark Cuban went to midcourt, unbuttoned and pulled down his dungarees and took a shit right on the horse logo.
And it smelled of roses and Febreeze!
God bless Mark Cuban. God bless the Dallas Mavericks. May they find immortality and edify humanity until the planet collides with the sun.
The Mavericks are winning the NBA title. Any other conclusion is plain lunacy. Just give them the trophy.
