Mavs beat the Heat to win NBA Finals championship


(CNN) -- Jason Terry can keep the tattoo.

One of the many story lines in the NBA Finals won by the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night was Terry's bold tattoo. Terry said he had the Larry O'Brien championship trophy tattooed on his right bicep before the season began because he was confident the Mavs would clinch the title.

Losing would've been painful for Terry, literally, as he said he would have the tattoo removed.

The Mavs won 105-95, with Terry leading the team with 27 points.

It was the Mavs' first NBA championship in franchise history. Dallas clinched the series by a margin of 4-2. Prior to their Game 6 victory, no player on the Mavs had won an NBA title.

"When you did something as crazy as I did, you have to back it up," Terry said showing his tattoo to the television cameras. "This team never gave up when faced with adversity. We never gave up. Tonight we got vindication."

Comment: This Dallas team deserved by far this NBA finals champions title, because they played with a great level and beat the LA Lakers, the past champions, and the Miami Heat team that was the east conference champions. Congrats Dallas.
