It's actually inexcusable that LeBron has been in the league for 7-8 seasons and not developed any semblance of a post-up game. Inexcusable. And lazy. With his size and skills, he could be nearly unstoppable with that in his repertoire. Instead, we watched him spend most of the Dallas series languishing on the perimeter, looking distracted and uncomfortable.

All of that said, I completely agree that LeBron still has a lot of time to write his legacy. For quite awhile, many thought that Jordan "wasn't a winner", a notion that is obviously laughable now. I'm not suggesting that LBJ will become MJ, only that the final chapter is far from written in his story.

nice to see the little guy Mavericks win a title with total salaries totaling about $35 million over the salary cap (almost $20 million over the payroll tax threshold).
interesting to see what kind of affect a proposed NBA hard cap would have on Cuban's willingness to spend whatever it takes.

and what kind of contract did Kevin Willis sign to still be on the Mavs 2011 payroll for $850k at age 49?
