A real victory for pure basketball. Good to see a genuine TEAM take the title, as opposed to a bunch of big egos.

Well done Mavericks, totally deserved victory!

Lebron needs to devote some time to reading and educating himself. Also a decent PR-Manager and coach would help. He just keeps diggin holes with everything he says and everything he does.
A couple of years in College coulda made a big difference there.

But most important im happy for every single player on the Mavericks team. They really deserved it this year.

They never should have signed Bosh

There, i said it, someone had to say it. When you have 2 of the best players in the league, the remaining cap space should have been spent on shooters, rebounders and other such roleplayers. The only issue is that i dont see James or Wade accepting that Bosh get traded now.

They will most likely tweak their squad and try again

yeah like the other game where they lose by nine, he completely disappears in the fourth again and he gets all defensive right away in his presser, saying how it was the defenese that was shitty and only the defense. Wooooo!

Mavs deserved it.

ESPN 1 hour special, pyrotechnics, a call for a crap-ton of championships - fall flat in the final.
Lol the cHeat are so entertaining.

Nobody can deny that he has huge amounts of talent, but with everything that has happened to him in the playoffs I think he will get a mental block and never be able to overcome it. He is screwed, for life.

Lebron has played ten NBA Finals games, and his highest point total is 25 (done twice in 2007). Today Jason Terry put in 27.

That stat just freaking blows my mind.

This reminds me the "fishstick" episode of South Park. I think I've seen this joke on every website I've been on since game 4, and I don't even go to sports websites.

I'm expecting Carlos Mencia to take credit for that joke any time now.

You guys are waaaay over analyzing the post-game conferences.

Anyway, it was a great series, it was a close series with each game being really close. I'm glad the Mav's finally got their time to shine.

Bosh was their most important player of the playoffs. How can you say they should never have signed Bosh? Honestly they should have signed ONLY Bosh to play with Wade, and used the money they spent on James to round out the bench.

The whole mini rant he gave about his critics is certainly overblown. People seems to be taking it as he was just saying hes rich and his critics arent, which i don't think was his intention at all. I'm pretty sure he was telling people to "get a life" which is definitely a good response to the massive amount of weirdos who have some deep psychotic hatred for him and the heat. The problem is the way he said it was in a typical LeBron fashion which just didnt come out well at all... He really needs to learn how to talk to the press and just keep shit simple.

Mavs have so much experience between Kidd and Nowitzski alone. Glad for both of then, especially Kidd, since he was stuck on a team going nowhere for a part of his career.

LeBron hasn't improved his game in nine years...

He has exactly the same skill set he did when he entered the NBA. He has no post game, if he can't barrel to the basket he will sit back and opt for any kind of jumper he can get. Doesn't matter if someone is open, doesn't matter if he has four hands in his face, he will step back and launch it. If you've figured out his game, which Dallas did, you can turn him into a horribly overpaid bad jump shooter.

He may never win a championship unless he decides he wants to put some work in and actually have a real game instead of just relying on his physical prowess. '

Oh, and Chris Bosh is a really good player, but not as your "real" big man. Miami needs a real center so Bosh can play the post like he should, since LeBron can't or won't. Bosh is best when he's not right under the basket, which Miami's lineup forces him to do way too much.

Omg that is amazing. I think the mavs will be good next year but i don't know if they will have the same fire that they did with so many great vets burning to get that one ring. The mavs win almost reminds me reminds me of the detroit win, where they won off being a great team rather than a really good team with a few amazing players. Because as good as dirk is he does not have the carrying power of a duncan, shaq, jordan, hakeem and he didn't have the multiple all star sidekicks like kobe did.

As far as lebron he just doesn't seem to have the fire. When you talk about the greats they had amazing ability to work on parts of their game that were weak. Bird shooting 500 shots a day with his left one off season, magic going from an atrocious outside shooter to quite good, Kobe developing a post game, Shaq becoming a great passer from the post(and bless his heart if you listen to his teammates he really did work on his free throws it just never worked out), Duncan... well duncan has been the most complete power forward to ever play since almost his rookie year although his passing increased markedly. Lebron has very weak parts to his game and he tries to hide them rather than work on them, his lack of a post game, off the ball play. His defense and outside shooting could still use work for sure as well, although he is at least trying on defense now but his success is based off athleticism not knowledge at this point.

Kill him for his Finals. Not for his season/playoffs.

The Heat wouldn't have made it to the finals without Lebron. I may enjoy seeing him lose, but I find it difficult to ignore how well he played the rest of the playoffs, making the MVP look average. It saddens me that we have so many bandwagoners doing just that right now.

Watch some fucking basketball during the season before you start talking shit.
