I know this is a joke, but this is pretty much me save for Roddy. I'm a Dirk fan but I'm also a German who grew up in Fort Worth so that's probably the default. Growing up, our television only concentrated on the Cowboys, Rangers and NASCAR. I do recall watching the Mavs get eliminated by the Lakers in the playoffs, but Dad's interest was fair-weather at best in that regard. When I moved overseas in '92, my new friend base introduced me to playing and watching basketball. Jordan made me love the sport. Dirk made me love the Mavs. Mark Cuban made me love Jerry Jones.
