2011 Dallas Mavericks NBA Finals Game 6 Interviews

by Walter Sobchak on Dec 20, 2011 1:24 AM CST

So...a while back, I mentioned that I would have the opportunity (and good fortune) to be able to assist with taking video and photos of the NBA Finals back in June. It's taken me THAT LONG to get these videos, go through them, and finally post them on YouTube. I asked a few questions in the WCF specific to the Mavs Moneyball requests; but did not ask them in this go round. Check them out, live the 2011 NBA Finals all over again, and salivate at the prospects of back-to-back trophies...and fall in love with Ian Mahinmi

2:00 into the clip, I ask JET how it feels to know he will be keeping that Championship Trophy Tattoo:

:20 into the clip, I ask Shawn Marion about the chances of being back to the Finals:

I ask Brendan Haywood how it feels to know he signed with the right team:

Ian Mahinmi epic interview Part 1 - this guy is one of my favorite Mavs; listen to what he says especially about Dirk and Caron Butler:

Ian Mahinmi epic interview Part 2 - I'm really hoping he can take a strong hold of the backup C position; he gives a special shout out to us fans:

Ian Mahinmi now holds a special spot in my blue-bleeding heart.

<3 emo Ian!

The Mavs are the only team in the league which lives and dies with one-legged, off-balance, off-everything 15-foot jumpshots. Which is, to make it perfectly clear, a very good way to either live or die.

I actually always liked you on LSB, but I never knew you were such a big deal! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks

I have to say I was blessed with the opportunity, twice in a lifetime…I had to taste the champagne in the Heat locker room in Dallas in 2006 with Jason Williams, Antoine Walker and the likes running around like children. This was sweet vindication, as JET says.
