   Congratulating the Dallas Mavericks on winning the 2011 National 
                  Basketball Association championship.

Whereas, on June 12, 2011, the Dallas Mavericks won the 2011 National Basketball 
        Association (NBA) championship by defeating the Miami Heat in Miami, 
        Florida;
Whereas the Mavericks' victory in the NBA was the team's first NBA championship 
        in the franchise history;
Whereas the owner, Mark Cuban, has made the Mavericks the model NBA club through 
        sound management and by instilling a team-first philosophy;
Whereas the Mavericks' success is a result of contributions by the entire team, 
        including players Jose Barea, Rodrigue Beaubois, Corey Brewer, Caron 
        Butler, Brian Cardinal, Tyson Chandler, Brendan Haywood, Dominique 
        Jones, Jason Kidd, Ian Mahinmi, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, DeShawn 
        Stevenson, Peja Stojakovic, and Jason Terry;
Whereas head coach Rick Carlisle, and assistant coaches Terry Stotts, Dwane 
        Casey, Darrell Armstrong, Monte Mathis, and Robert Hackett, head 
        athletic trainer Casey Smith, and assistant trainer Dionne Calhoun, led 
        the Mavericks to their first NBA championship by stressing teamwork and 
        determination;
Whereas the Mavericks' ability to win this season despite a long season and 
        injuries is a testament to the skill of the coaching staff and the 
        desire of the team to play with pride for the City of Dallas;
Whereas Dirk Nowitzki was selected as the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player;
Whereas the Dallas Mavericks continue to captivate a growing and diverse 
        audience from across Texas and the Nation; and
Whereas the City of Dallas and the State of Texas are proud of the 
        accomplishments of the Dallas Mavericks, the entire Mavericks' 
        organization, and the dedicated and faithful Dallas fans throughout the 
        2011 NBA season: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) congratulates the Dallas Mavericks on their victory in 
        the 2011 National Basketball Association (NBA) championship; 
        and
            (2) recognizes the dedication and teamwork of all the 
        players, coaches, and staff of the Dallas Mavericks, all of 
        whom were instrumental in helping the Mavericks win their first 
        NBA championship.
