Mavs.

I don't think Dirk Nowitzki had anything left to prove. If the Heat had come back and won this series, what could you possibly say other than that Dirk is a great talent and a gamer? Still, it's incredible how sports will sometimes provide a story line like this one — incredible that five years after a brutal loss, Dirk hoists the trophy in Miami, to mirror the Heat winning the '06 title in Dallas.

And I've made enough bad predictions in my life (like everyone else) that you'll have to let me savor picking the Mavs in 6.

Unbelievable series. Let's do it again next year, shall we?
