So happy for Dirk. So happy for the franchise. So happy for the fans that have followed the team. All that suffering has been redeemed

As a Mavs fan, I really did not to play the Heat in the finals again, but man am I glad we did. REDEMPTION B I T C H E S!

I thought when the Mavs drafted Jason Kidd that he would someday lead them to a championship. I just never imagined it would take so long.

Check one more off my Sports Bucket list:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Check
Dallas Stars - Check
Dallas Mavericks - Check
Rangers - TBD (but played in a WS)

Now I need the Fightin' Texas Aggies to come strong come fall!

Tampa Bay annnndddd a bunch of Dallas teams?

Doesnt sound right.

Parents divorced when I was 5. Dad in Tampa/St. Pete, Mom here.

Father/Son bonding was over Buc's football and fishing the bay!

Wanted the Heat more than anything, for revenge. Love seeing that ****er Dwyane Wade tear off his jersey walking off in defeat.

VERY happy for Dirk. For someone who was completely loyal to Dallas from day 1, I'm very happy for Dirk and JET.

That's pretty cool. No bs.

I wanted no part of the Heat, going into this series, but I'm very pleased it was the Heat, now that it's over.

Happiest for Dirk, who may be the best guy in the pro game. Not player, but guy.

The jubilance of Jet with the biggest grin ever; the energy and passion of Stevenson; Big Al going crazy; Peja walking around in a daze; Cuban in jubilation yet still trying to organize everyone, looking for Dirk

Biggest moment is quick glimpses of Kidd going to every Heat player he can find to give a hug and quick word of advice/encouragement amidst all the chaos. He really is the greatest leader in our sport right now as Barkley has often said. The perfect complement to Dirk, Jet and Carlisle to bring it all together

Rangers punch out A-Rod to advance to the world series and the Mav's take out the Heat...

Could there have been any better set ups for either?

Still doesn't seem real. After blowing the series against Miami in 2006 and the subsequent playoff flops, I really thought their ship had sailed and it was going to be a damn shame Dirk wouldn't win a title. F that!
