Dallas — My friend Brett called me the other day and asked me a simple question as I picked up the call.
"So you still reflecting over there or what?" he asked.
Sounds about right. It's been six days since the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA title, and I'm still basking in the glory of championship euphoria.
I'm not even in full Texas Rangers mode yet, which is a rarity for me, considering spring training usually represents the time I'm in full baseball mode. But that's the power that this championship brings with it.
I'm heading to Dallas tomorrow for Father's day, and I'll be attending the Rangers game against the Houston Astros at 7:05 p.m. on Monday night. Maybe that will get me back into Rangers mode. Don't get me wrong. I'm still watching pretty much every game. It's been a while since I've blogged about DFW's pro baseball squad, though, because of the magical run by DFW's pro hoops squad.
I think Tuesday will be a good day to start blogging about the Rangers again. I'll have pictures from Monday night's game, along with a few thoughts from the matchup against the in-state rival Astros.
For now, though, it's still all about the reflecting.
Here's a really cool slideshow from ESPN that counts down the top 10 Mavs moments from the 2011 playoffs.
This column from Yahoo! sports NBA writer Adrian Wojnarowski was really well-done and captures the long journey Dirk Nowitzki took to win his first title.
This prophetic story, written by ESPN columnist Marc Stein on March 1, is fun to go back and read now. Another column from Stein, capturing the championship feeling from inside the locker room, and particularly from Dirk. My personal favorite of all the ones I read.
And may the reflecting continue.
