"WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS"

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
(And we mean to go on and on and on and on)

We are the champions my friend
And we'll keep on fightin' till the end
We are the champions, We are the champions
No time for losers 'cause we are the champions

Of the world

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that
goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

We are the champions my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'cause we are the champions

Of the world

We are the champions my friend
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'cause we are the champions.

Ring night will have to wait for Mavericks

Seven diamonds. One for each road victory that the Mavericks had in their championship run - shaped in a heart to signify their singular resolve.

Four blue sapphires, representing the four close-out games that they won without ever losing a potential playoff series ender.

Something snappy written in gold. Like maybe, 'Perseverance.' Or, 'Grit.'

Or maybe just: We Are The Champions.

These are the things that should be inscribed and mounted on the Mavericks' championship rings, which they should be receiving tonight at American Airlines Center.

They won't, of course. The NBA lockout has erased the first month of the season, which includes opening night. The Chicago Bulls were supposed to be in town and the first leg on the Mavericks' championship victory lap would have been great for the team and even better for the fans.

Reliving that magical run will have to wait until December or January or later.

What fans must remember about this labor impasse is to not hold it against the players. If there was a fault meter in this lockout, the players would be holding steady near the bottom and the owners' needle would flick and rock past the red line.

It's not the players' fault that they have been receiving 57 percent of the basketball-related income for years. And the economic climate shouldn't merit a drastic drop down to 50 percent or lower.

If the owners are trying to break the players' union and get them to cave into a deal that guarantees profits for all teams, all they should have to do is prove that all their other business ventures have built-in profits. Somehow, that seems unlikely.

As fans, you have to try to remember Dirk Nowitzki's greatness, Jason Kidd's cool demeanor, J.J. Barea's gigantic heart and Tyson Chandler's screams.

Forget about the dollar signs for now. Just take comfort in the knowledge that basketball will return at some point. And when it does, those rings will be waiting for the Mavericks.

Rick Carlisle had Mavericks pack for only Game 6 of finals

Rick Carlisle pulled a trick out of the Miami Heat’s Pat Riley’s playbook to win the NBA finals.

Back in 2006, the Miami Heat were up 3-2 and heading back for a Game 6 in Dallas. Then Heat coach Riley told his players to only pack enough clothes for one game’s stay — they were not going to be hanging around for a Game 7. It worked, the Heat got the ring.

In 2011 the role was reversed — Dallas was up 3-2 and headed back to Miami. And Mavs coach Carlisle pulled the same trick having his team only pack enough clothes for one game, reports Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register. The strategy is two-for-two so far.

How did Carlisle hear of Riley’s trick? Self-improvement guru Tony Robbins told him. The story came out at a Robbins seminar in Los Angeles this week that Carlisle and writer Ding (and Oprah) were attending.

Ding adds this footnote about the different personalities of the coaches. Riley went public and told the media what he did after his Game 6 win. Some members of the press had heard Carlisle had done it as well.

When asked at the time by reporters at the Finals if he’d packed for just Game 6, Carlisle had light-heartedly dodged the question, saying: “I’ve got a lot of respect for all of you. I feel like I’ve gotten to know you well. But I don’t believe at this point I’m ready to share the number of pairs of underwear I packed.”
