Sunday night when the classy Dallas Mavericks won the classy NBA Finals over the classless Miami Heat, the common thread amongst Maverick supporters was that the "classy" team won.
In short, the Mavericks celebrated in a way that the Heat would not have celebrated: With class.
Since, DeShawn Stevenson's been seen with a T-shirt with the most juvenile of dick jokes, Mark Cuban's been photographed taking a piss with the Larry O'Brien trophy and, now, Stevenson's been arrested for public intoxication.
Everyone has "class" until they don't. Or, everyone has "class" when stood up next to the "classless." I also point to Stevenson posing in front of the Miami Heat bench in game 6. Again, if he were not a Maverick, we'd aboslutely hate him.
On the whole, I have no problem with any of this. I'm not interested in watching Cuban (the king of classlessness) pee or Stevenson get drunk. However, the Mavericks fandom (nor the team itself) has any right to call themselves "classy" after the last four days.
