Here, as promised, is the final "mini-movie" from the 2011 NBA Finals, which was just posted by The Association. Near the beginning you will find Ro Blackman, one "Mavericks legend" discussing another -- the Mavericks legend now, the German Moses who led his people into the Promised Land.

"We just didn't." No, you didn't. No matter what Macy's says. It's on the other side. Bring your sports tissues.
