Leading Off (6/16/11)

The Parade’s Today! If you’re not already downtown, well, good luck. Things to note as you’re waiting for the parade to begin: it’s hot; drink water; cheer loudly.

Don Carter’s Heart Shocked by Game. I know I’m a day late to this, but I loved it so much that I had to post it. In this video, Don Carter talks about why he started the Mavs. And then he talks about how he was supposed to have surgery to get his heart beating in the correct rhythm, but after the game, he no longer needed the operation.

Mavs Make Appearance on Letterman. And here are the Top 10 Things About Winning the NBA Championship:
Shawn Marion: “I don’t have to sit here and lie about how winning isn’t important.”
J.J. Barea: “The congratulatory ‘sext’ from Anthony Weiner.”
Roddy Beaubois: “Helped take the sting out of hearing Hef’s wedding was canceled.”
Brian Cardinal: “It’s every kid’s dream to lick the Larry O’Brein Trophy.”
Rick Carlisle: “U.S. Constitution permits NBA Champs to sit in on National Security briefing.”
Tyson Chandler: “Celebrating with my kitties.”
Carron Butler: “Why didn’t anyone tell me we won?”
Jason Terry: “Now I can ask Mark Cuban for a raise.”
Mark Cuban: “If you thought I was cocky and obnoxious before…get ready.”
Dirk Nowitzki: “It might land me a Kardashian Sister.”

Other News Today. The city’s dirty. And guns were rescued from the water. I honestly tried to post more about something other than the Mavs. I really did. But when I clicked on a video about a non-Mavs related story, it started playing pre-coverage of the parade. So I took that as a sign. Happy Mavs Day!
