Just minutes after the Dallas Mavericks win their first championship in franchise history, the NBA announced, to be fair, that all 30 teams in the league automatically win a shared Championship to make a statement to the youth of America that “winning isn’t everything.”
“We’re seeing more and more student sport leagues do this, and we want to be good role models to the future of America,” said NBA commissioner David Stern. ”We plan to have an awards banquet with all the league players and give every one of them a Participation Ribbon to say good job this season.”
Miami Heat star LeBron James is quite pleased with the commissioner’s decision. ”We all work hard every year, most of it you don’t see. Even if we don’t achieve the big prize, we are all winners in our own minds. I plan to win many of these ribbons in my career. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not even seven… I will win MANY!”
