Let's Go Mavs!
Next Best Records officially supports the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals. For the uninitiated, the Mavs are the label's second favorite team -- and it's not just because "Mavs" rhymes with "Cavs." No, the Mavs have the best German in NBA history, and they've got the best owner in NBA history (hell, we've even linked to his blog). Throw in the coaching prodigy that is Avery Johnson, and you've got yourself a championship team. I'm picking the Mavericks in 6.
Mark Cuban just posted that he's was going to head down to the American Airlines Center court to take some pregame shots. That is pretty sweet. I remember thinking it was cool to have the Gund Arena (now Quicken Loans Arena) court to myself for a few shots one summer afternoon, and that was when they had the Cleveland Rockers floor laid down in the arena.
Anyway, Cuban also recently posted the questions he would ask Shaquille O'Neal in an NBA Finals press conference. Here's mine:
1) About 13 years ago, my mom gave me a Shaq Christmas tree ornament (a Starting Lineup-style figurine of you dunking -- I think she got it for free when she spent $20 at Hallmark). How does it make you feel to know that every year, as an adult trimming the tree, I always ask myself, "Why do I have Shaq on my Christmas tree?"
2) Can you tell James Posey that I said, "F-U-X-U"?
3) Who's the better former Cav shooting guard: Derek Anderson or Jason Kapono?
4) Is it funny that Bimbo Coles is one of the Heat's assistant coaches, or is it just me?
5) Will you and Fu-Schnickens make a guest appearance on my new single?
Go Mavs!
