I was appreciating the obeisance you were paying me, up until that penultimate sentence.

So let me get this straight. You came on board when the Mavericks drafted Wang Zhi Zhi, and you are going to tell *me* something about being a Mavs fan? Buddy, I was here when the mavs were drafting Mark Aguirre and Rolando Blackman and Derek Harper and a whole host of (other?) guys you have never heard of.

I've seen the team through thick and thin. Through a heart-wrenching loss in the Western Conference Finals when you were probably still in diapers. When Aguirre and Blackman and Harper lost to the likes of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy. You may have heard those names, but you didn't watch those guys play.

And I was there, watching night in and night out when the Mavs were winning about one game in eight. I savored those wins, brother. And I had a healthy respect for the (few) guys who were deserving of them.

OrangeDays, if you haven't suffered the hard times, you have no idea how precious the good times are. You have no idea how valuable guys like Steve Nash and Eddie Najera and Mike Finley are. With due respect, I would appreciate it if you would keep your criticisms to yourself.
