[image:357:l]In 1980 the Dallas Mavericks played their inaugural season. In 1980 I moved to Dallas. Also, Dick Motta moved from Washington DC where he coached the Bullets to Dallas to be the Mavs first coach. I also moved from the DC area to Dallas just a few months later. I’ve been a Mavericks fan since Day 1 and through the awful years of the 80s.

After an incredible comeback tonight against the Suns, they are going to the Finals for the first time and I think they have a great shot at winning.

It is fun to be here in Texas to watch the game. It is great medicine for Trent as well as it takes his mind off his stomach for a couple of hours. I’m so glad to get to hang out with him.

We’ll be watching on Thursday night when it all gets started.
