"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." Rogers Hornsby

Heat and Mavs

For the record, I think the Miami Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks and win the NBA championship.  Please keep in mind that I also thought that the Lakers would beat the Heat (sorry), and win the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Maybe Kobe finally heard what the NBA trophy is called and decided against hugging and kissing a trophy named after a guy named Larry O'Brien?

Also, for the record, I am rooting for the Mavericks because of Jason E. Terry, who was a kid I rooted for when we both resided in Tucson. 

Jason played hoops for the UA. 

Me?  I rooted for him.  JT (then), JET (now) was a big part of Arizona Wildcat's 1997 NCAA Championship, and I had waited for that championship since becoming a Wildcat fan in 1974.

Big deal, right?  I mean what's 23 years to A Chicago Cub fan?

Hey, I have rooted for teams and players for flimsier reasons.  I just don't think the Mavs will do it.

Reason why?

2 stars are better than 1.
