Congrats Mavericks!!! ---- Lebron "King" James- Try again!

I need to say this. Quit talking smack about how Lebron James is the new Michael Jordon. Until Lebron can win 7 championships & still keep his head on straight and not act a fool - then I'll say he's the best. Until he can beat out the #2 Athlete of the 20th century, (#1 being Babe Ruth, #2 being of course, MJ).... lets just not make Lebrons head bigger.  

Aside from numberous steal & scoring titles - MJ played on 2 Olympic Basketball teams that won Gold Medals and was awarded more MVP's than I can count on 2 hands - AND never forsoke the team that gave him his chance at the pros - leaving th...em only after his SECOND retirement. In my book - Lebron may be a pretty good basketball player - but he's a lousy person. He has great abilities, but no tact on the court. Although I applaud him for making a "business decision" - when you're making multi-million dollars - why not BUILD the team that gave you the chance, rather than leaving them for a might-as-well-be AllStar team thinking you're going to win a championship. Poor taste if you ask me.

Personally, I think that anyone that nicknames themselves after a version of the Bible is a little more than arrogant.

So in conclusion, congratulation to the Dallas Mavericks for a truly outstanding season.  You deserve the title, you fought hard - through injuries, illness and personal trials, and you proved that you have what it takes.  You didn't expect a hand out, but you wanted it, not just as a showcase of a one particular persons talents, but as a whole team.  I will admit that, being a Cavs fan, I was originally just rooting for the Mavs in hopes that "King James" would go down in smoke.  But watching you play, with the heart that I've always admired in professional sports, I can now say that I am a Mavs fan too :)  So congrats again - you fought hard, and you won!
