MIAMI — On the night he finally found vengeance, eternal validation and the highest measure of victory to wag in the face of anyone who had ever called him soft or mocked his cough, Dirk Nowitzki wasn’t going to let the world see his tears.
“Whoa, did y’all hear me cough? I think I’m sick.”

Great team victory led by Dirk! It was a fantastic final series to watch. Last night that little Barea dude was really hoisting some shots. And Terry, too, of course. The most amazing shot of the whole series, though, was that rainbow Tre by Dirk a couple games ago. It was the highest shot I’ve ever seen. Dirk belongs in the elite group of top NBA players all-time. The size, the touch, the heart.
It has been a great series. I can’t remember the last time the championship toury was actually worth watching all teh way through.
As for LeBron James… man what a poor loser. What a phoney.
Joe,
You didn’t like last years 7 game Laker/Celtics final?
No. For one thing, I’m old enough to have flashbacks when i hear the phrase “Lakers/Celtics” anything, and I was never partial to either team.
I have to admit that I have only seen a few short clips here and there (I’m in baseball mode, I guess) but when I heard that he had hit 24 for 24 free throws the other day, I figured something must really be “wrong” with this guy this series. Like, what the hell is that? Needless to say it’s in all the news here now too.
