A whole lot of reasons (as if I needed any more) to pull for the Mavs to beat the Heat

Rick Reilly

I have always admired Rick Reilly. It used to be, when my weekly copy of Sports Illustrated came in the mail, I immediately flipped to the end of the mag to red Rick’s weekly column. He no longer writes for SI. Now he’s a scribe for ESPN.com. That just means he’s more difficult find, but still a pleasure to read.

Especially when he lists all these wonderfully valid reasons America should be pulling for the Mavericks to win this NBA title.
