    Their fans are good for annoying the hell out of you.

    Dirk is good for about 3 or 4 bullsh!t calls per game.

    Avery is good for breaking eardrums.

    Cuban has PERFECTED the art of being a douche.

    So I was at the radio station where I work today, and I mentioned that Dirk Nowitzki is a sissy who hasn't played defense his whole career (yeah, I realize he was coached by Nellie part of it). I also mentioned how I will never respect Shaq as a player because he's lazy. But that's neither here nor there -- let's go with Dirk for now.

    I said that, at 7 feet tall, there is no excuse for him to not be able to play D. Anyway, after someone there mentioned that D-Wade is the biggest flopper in the league and finally had a legitimate reason,well, I snapped. The mavericks flop more than anyone, and Dirk gets just as many superstar calls as anyone. I said that while the officiating in the Finals was crappy, if Dirk had just driven to the hoop and stopped throwing up bombs all the time, he would have gotten calls. And with his 91 FT%, they probably would have won their first title. I defended Dwayne Wade on EVERY comment he made and even defended flopping -- if a player or team is smart enough to use it to success, why shouldn't they? It's all about wins, after all. So after blasting the mavericks for about 5 minutes, I asked myself this question:
    Were we this stupid and pig-headed when the Rockets were the kings of the world? Was I ever this much of a Hakeem apologist? I remember disliking Jordan, but that was out of jealousy -- I felt that Hakeem deserved the MVP and that Defensive Player of the Year was just a consolation prize. They're just saying STUPID things about other teams. So, those of you out there, were we THIS annoying?

    Or is it just another reason why we should trade dallas for Disney World?

    I also mentioned that when you spend $92 million, there's also no excuse for not having the #1 team. To put it in perspective, I said, "Okay. Take the Houston Rockets. Add KG. That's the mavs' payroll."

    4.) Hakeem Olajuwon
    5.) Dr. J

    I had a conversation this morning with a fellow MBA student and rabid Mavs fan about his team. I don't think he quite liked my use of the phrases "mentally weak", "floppers", and "a bunch of douchebags" to describe the Mavericks. Hey, sometimes the truth hurts, though. Obviously.

    Kareem didn't play D. Wilt had a poor FT% and played in a time when no one knew how to guard someone of his size. Those things have to be taken into consideration; Kareem and Wilt were AMAZING, no doubt about it, but I wouldn't put them into the 10 best of all time.

    Dallasux is good for getting raped by Kobe for 62pts in just three quarters.

    At 48-9, with 25 games to play in the regular season and 20 1/2 games in front of the 9th team in the Western Conference standing, haven't the Mavs already clinched a playoff berth?
