Will all of GERMANY and DALLAS/Fort Worth METROPLEX.......please stand-up.....the GERMANATOR and the MAVS grab the LARRY O'BRIEN TROPHY

I, the BLUEDUDE, remembers when I once called the MAVERICKS my place of work in the 1999-2000 Season. The MAVERICKS were the doormat of the NBA and all of DALLAS/Fort Worth revolved around Jerry Jones and his COWBOYS.....and rightfully so.

Then the NBA GODS sent DALLAS a MAVERICKS Season-Ticket Holder for YEARS their way to end all of this misery. So in the 1999-2000 Season MAVERICKS Owner then Ross Perot JR was trying to sell the TEAM for double what he had paid for it.......$280 Million.

Mark CUBAN, the then AUDIONET turned to Broadcast.com Founder along with His College Alum Todd Wagner , sold his BROADCAST.COM to YAHOO for some $5.9 BILLION in YAHOO Stock. That's when CUBAN said I need a TOY.......his TOY was the DALLAS MAVERICKS NBA TEAM.

After Purchasing the MAVS CUBAN needed to get a NEW ARENA because REUNION was really old and outdated. And soon after the CONSTRUCTION of the New Arena came some hope as in the MAVS BIG 3.....NOWITZKI, Steve NASH, and Michael FINLEY. These 3 turned the MAVS around for good and the youngest one in the MIX was Dirk NOWITZKI.

I remember NOWITZKI as a rail thin 7' Shooter who was reluctant to rebound, defend, and make a play. But when the BLUEDUDE was working for the MAVS that season he was only 20 and getting accustomed to not only the NBA GAME....but the US Lifestyle for a Professional Athlete. I could see there were times when it was tough on him.......PEOPLE questioning everything......but not questioning on how they picked up DIRK.

DIRK was picked up by the MILWAUKEE BUCKS in the LOTTERY and told by the MAVS who were picking behind the BUCKS to get DIRK and the BUXKS in turn told the MAVS to get the LATE Robert "TRACTOR" TRAYLOR. And now you see how that worked out.

I think DIRK'S Game really evolved when NASH and FINLEY took a lot of PRESSURE off of DIRL early when MAVS Success started to evolve. Then you take a HIGH BAsketball IQ, a WILL TO WIN AND COMPETE at any cost, and the VISION of one day being a CHAMP.......That is a RECIPE for SUCCESS in the ASSOCIATION.

For the MAVS to come from where I saw them in 1999-2000 to NOW......it's unexplainable. But one thing is for SURE....in the COUNTRY of GERMANY......WIRTZBURG where DIRK is FROM......and the DALLAS /Fort Worth Metroplex.......No One is happier than these two PLACES in the WORLD right NOW.

One you might have the MOST FAMOUS GERMAN-BORN ATHLETE ever in the DIGGLER and two........Now their are 2 CHAMPIONS in BIG D....move over Jerry JONES and the 'BOYS....CUBAN has reservations in the TROPHY ROOM AS WELL.
