Immediately following the Dallas Mavericks championship victory over the Miami Heat this past spring Mark Cuban was high on victory and talking crazy. He told the media he wasn’t going to get the team rings and instead would be buying them something more ‘modern’. Well that didn’t sit well with the players who wanted and deserved the historical norm of championship rings. As it turns out, Cuban is a good listener after all…
But owner Mark Cuban, after careful deliberation, has decided that the Mavericks will receive championship rings for their title that was won in June.
By “careful deliberation,” we mean it probably came after one night of partying with the players after the Miami series. Back when those things were legal.
As you recall, Cuban had an off-the-cuff remark after the championship series against Miami that he thought rings had become too old-school for this day and age. Turns out old-school works for an old team. (via)
So the question then becomes, with the lockout in play, where and when do the Mavs have their ring ceremony? And does David Stern do the ring presentation?
