It is the year of herculean effort among Dallas pro sports stars. We all remember Dirk Nowitzki playing through the flu and hitting the last minute shot in the NBA Finals to put Dallas back in the series.
We all felt the outrage and the insult of Dwayne Wade and LeBron James mocking Dirk and making light of his illness.
I came across this photo of Tony and then fiancee, now wife, Candace, rooting on the Mavericks. It’s always good to feel the love.

Curious. I wonder how they decided which Mavericks would attend the ESPYs. No Brendan Haywood. No Peja Stojakovic. No DeShawn Stevenson. Maybe they were just on vacation and couldn’t attend. Or maybe they weren’t invited.
With the addition of Rudy Fernandez, it looks like it’s time to say goodbye to Roddy Beaubois. As quick and talented as he may turn out to be, there’s no room for Roddy on this roster.
We have to make assumptions to have this conversation in July. So many free agents in Dallas remain unsigned. Here’s the list:
The Ben and the Skin are major Deron Williams homers. They grew up here. Deron grew up here. His high school team played against their high school team. Or whatever. He’s a home grown player and they’re drooling over the possibility of a free agent signing in Dallas next year.
There’s only one problem. There’s not enough cash to go around.

We’ll stop beating the Mavs drum soon…. or not. Check out these highlights from the playoffs.

Back when LeBron hadn’t announced his decision, some Dallas fans put together a video and a website to show fan support to LeBron, in hopes of drawing him to Dallas.
That obviously didn’t work, and now that Dallas has a championship at the expense of LeBron and the Heat, I wonder what Dallas fans think of LeBron now. He’s no longer our nemesis. He’s just another guy who didn’t win a championship… yet.
But history will tell.
This is awesome.

Part of the scene yesterday at the American Airlines Center at the end of the Championship Parade, they played the official DFW Digs Dirk music video before a crowd of 20k+.
