Looks like DeShawn Stevenson didn’t want to let the champagne stop flowing after the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA title. Police in Irving, Texas arrested the 30-year-old guard Tuesday night for public intoxication.

Now that it is all over, basketball fans will look back at the 2011 NBA Finals and remember this as a colossal failure for the Miami Heat. I would rather look back at a fantastic run for the Dallas Mavericks and a well deserved title for the first time in franchise history.

No, it won't be 90,000+ crazed fans in burnt orange and crimson rushing to the venerable Cotton Bowl to watch the Horns and Sooners clash on the field, but the western conference finals promise to be entertaining.  For the first time ever, the NBA will take center stage in one of the most football obsessed parts of the country.
