DeShawn Stevenson: Heat 'classless'
MIAMI -- DeShawn Stevenson admitted that beating self-proclaimed king LeBron James made the Dallas Mavericks' championship even sweeter.
"It
makes me feel good, man, to beat him, to beat that Miami team,"
Stevenson told ESPNDallas.com in an AmericanAirlines Arena hallway after
the Mavs clinched the title with Sunday's Game 6 win. "The way they
act, the way they treated Dirk [Nowitzki], all the things that they said were very classless. To win on the court the way we did it, it was wonderful."
Stevenson, like many of the Mavericks, did not feel as if the Heat
respected them during the series. That added a little extra enjoyment to
Sunday night's celebration.
"I think we did it with class," said Stevenson, who was involved in a shoving match with Miami's Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers
that resulted in technical fouls for each during the second quarter of
Game 6. "They tried all kind of different things and made fun of us and
were on the go-karts laughing after Game 1, like they already won the
championship. To beat them on their court, it feels good."
