Dallas, we are the champions!

YESSSSS.

After numerous efforts all night/morning thanks to various friends, I was able to stream in chopped pieces.. and caught the last few minutes of..

The 2011 NBA Champion DALLAS MAVERICKS!

Probably best I didn't watch it from the office (which has faster connectivity) because the amount of screaming and yelling would've been frightening for the guards. In this area, there is a high security risk after the sun sets. It was also 2 am here when it started and around 5 am when it ended - completely pitch black outside. Now, all this gear looks so tempting.. Special shout outs to Germany (reDIRKulous), Puerto Rico (Barea), France (Mahinmi, Beaubois), and Yugoslavia (Peja) as well as the Washington Wizards (Butler, Haywood, Stevenson) for your contributions. Competitive series by Miami.

This Dallas team has true guts, determination, will power, and focus. Every player contributed to the journey. Absolutely incredible to celebrate in the spirit with fans worldwide. Players from different backgrounds coming together, as one. Sum greater than the parts. Like it should be in international development.
