So Improbable But Real

What is so great about this championship is how improbable it was and how rare it is in the NBA to have an improbable champ.  Go back 30 years and see how many improbable champs there have been.  The NBA is about star power: Magic, Bird, Thomas, Jordan, Olajuwon, Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, Pierce; all these guys and their teams have won in recent memory with great supporting casts.  Only the starless Pistons of the last decade crashed the party.  This Mavs team will be remembered for Dirk, but also for the incredible teamwork, coaching, and never-fold attitude they displayed.  It's a cliche', but it really is a great win for the game of basketball.
