Great article here about the series, check it out for an interesting perspective on how much more was at stake for the casual sports fan.  Always good to see things from a different angle.  Thoughts?

Nowitzki and his teammates succeeded, both on the court and off of it, and they should be celebrated for their accomplishments.  Outspoken owner Mark Cuban stayed out of the limelight, quietly observing with pride, knowing the magnitude of what his players had just done both as athletes and as gentlemen.

Dirk and the mavs -- class acts through and through!  One of the best players of his generation on and off the court.  Classy move by Cuban stepping out of the limelight too.  Enjoy this championship, Dallas fans, it's well deserved.
