The Dallas Mavericks beat the Miami Heat to win the 2011 NBA Championship for a lot of reasons, but it really comes down to two, separate truths. On the one hand, the Mavs had a supporting cast full of guys like Deshawn Stevenson, who weren’t scared of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, and never backed down.
How The Dallas Mavericks Won A Championship: A Two-Part Story
That’s part one, epitomized by this bootleg t-shirt Deshawn uses to call out LeBron James. HEY LEBRON! HOW’S MY DIRK TASTE?
Also, he looks like he’s at a dogfight. But doesn’t he always look like that? Part of his charm, really.
Part two of the Mavs’ success is after the jump.
Yes, beyond the supporting cast full of grimy, fearless characters like Jason Terry, Deshawn Stevenson, Shawn Marion, and Tyson Chandler, there was also that centerpiece. The straw that stirred the drink, if you will. How would describe someone like that?
Dirk’s t-shirt sums it up pretty well, I think.
