As the officially designated Mavs/Cowboys/Stars/Rangers fan-jerk of this fine site, I feel I must weigh in on the Jason Kidd talk.<br>
I'm only speaking for myself and not Mavs Nation as a whole. I don't want Jason Kidd anywhere near Dallas or the AAC. The Spurs can have him. While I believe he is a fine human being and an excellent baller, it's just bad karma to bring him back to Big D. I remember the flash of brilliance displayed by the Three J's before they started acting like idiots and the Mavs went in the tank in 1990s. I'm still bitter about it and turn red every time I hear Toni Braxton on the radio. Plus, I think we need a nasty Rick Mahorn type in the middle to get us over the hump.<br>
To show y'all I do have an open mind and despite the tension over the Western Conference Finals, I visited the San Antonio last week on the day of the NBA Draft.<br>
I watched LeBron take the podium on TV while eating at Chili's in Quarry Market. Of course there were beer goggles on the Riverwalk and the obliglatory trip to the Alamo and Tower of Americas.<br>
The last stop was the SBC Center - talk about being a masochist! But then again, the SBC Center was very kind to the Mavs. I even went in the SBC Center gift shop since a dear friend of mine in the Dallas area is a huge Spurs fan (He was sporting his Spurs championship hat at the Ballpark in Arlington last week). Anyway I'm sounding like Texas Blue, it was an enjoyable time and I hope my hard-earned money helps the San Antonio economy.<br>
