ship by defeating the Miami Heat in Miami, Florida; 
Whereas the Mavericks’ victory in the NBA was the team’s 
first NBA championship in the franchise history; 
Whereas the owner, Mark Cuban, has made the Mavericks 
the model NBA club through sound management and by 
instilling a team-first philosophy;

Cardinal, Tyson Chandler, Brendan Haywood, Dominique 
Jones, Jason Kidd, Ian Mahinmi, Shawn Marion, Dirk

Whereas the Mavericks’ ability to win this season despite a

pride for the City of Dallas; 
Whereas Dirk Nowitzki was selected as the NBA Finals Most 
Valuable Player;
