Cuban Will Cover Dallas' Costs For Mavericks Parade

Mark Cuban said parades just aren't his style. But, don't worry North Texas, the 2010-11 NBA champion Dallas Mavericks will be riding floats through the streets very soon.

And, Cuban said he's picking up the tab.

"We’ll do it," Cuban said. "All I told them was -- Terdema Ussery, our president -- you plan the parade, I’ll pay for it because I don’t think it’s right for the city to have to pay for it. And let’s just have some fun."

I find it HILARIOUS that Cavs fans HATE LEBRON So much. HE's from OHio for Gods sake.

God says it's not your time here.

I woke up this morning feeling like Dirk.

God says it's not your time here.

That comment by the Heat guy shows how completely devoid of sports history and knowledge Heat fans are. Cleveland fans are defined by their hate for negative sports figures from their past, almost as much as they are defined by their passionate support of their teams now in the present. Although many of us will let go of the past, the anger is never truly gone.

This whole thing LeBron said about God telling him it wasn't his time yet...didn't he just post it was "Now or Never"? Did God send him an email correcting that?

And what happened to him talking about his God-given talents all the time? How much of the work is God supposed to do, anyway?

Replica LeBron 2011 Rings on Thursday

Peoria, IL- The Peoria Chiefs have added a LeBron James 2011 NBA Championship Replica Ring Giveaway to all fans on Thursday June 16 to enhance the Salute to the 1990s Chicago Bulls Championship Teams Night. The replica ring, which like LeBron's is non-existent, will be handed out to all fans through the gates prior to the 7:00 p.m. game against Wisconsin.

Throughout the night the Chiefs will be celebrating a true champion, the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998 Chicago Bulls. Despite having the greatest player of all time, the most decorated coach in NBA history and two other Hall of Famers, the Bulls always played, and won as a team. There will be video clips of the Bulls titles along with audio highlights and trivia while the team will take the field to "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project.

In addition to the LeBron replica ring, the Chiefs are looking into whether or not the game can skip the fourth inning to honor King James who took off the fourth quarter of every finals game.

"We aren't sure if the league will allow it," said team President Rocky Vonachen. "But if LeBron doesn't need to show up for the fourth, maybe we won't either."

One lucky fan will win a replica of James' 2011 Finals MVP Award which he earned with his clutch fourth quarter play. Fans will also have the opportunity to learn how to perform the Heimlich to prevent themselves or their colleagues from choking in a big situation.

"Really this is just us getting back to the real world and waking up today and trying to solve our own personal problems," said Vice President of Ticket Sales Eric Obalil.

NASCAR driver Jeff Burton and his #31 CAT car will also be at O'Brien Field on Thursday to sign autographs and throw out a first pitch with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. June 16 is a Thirsty Thursday presented by Sully's and Brewer's Distributing with $2.00 16 ounce domestic draft beers and fountain sodas.

Lebron's car was found on the side of the road in South Beach. James claimed to have run out of gas, but the tow truck driver said to reporters that he still had at least a quarter left in his tank.

Do you guys also realize that if Splasha "the Serbian Assassin" Pavlovic held out a little longer he woulda been a part of the Dallas Mavericks championship squad?! Shyte!

He should still get a ring since he was a member of the team at one point during the season.

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Ummm.... no.

Cratylus - who are your last two babes? MIGHTY tasty.
