COACH CARLISLE: Minor league.
THE PRESIDENT: It’s a minor league team. (Laughter.)
So these players and coaches will always share a bond that comes with being the best. And it’s a bond they share with the Dallas community, where they do everything from setting up scholarships to helping military families get back on their feet. Today, in fact, they met with some wounded warriors here at the White House. I want to really thank them for taking the time to do that. That means so much to people. (Applause.)
So this team really does have a heart that’s the size of Texas. This was a remarkable run, a great victory, a great vindication for all the effort Mark Cuban put into building this team, and for long-time players like Dirk Nowitzki and long-suffering fans like all of you. (Laughter.)
And so I just want to give a heartfelt congratulations to all of you. I told them that it’s too bad that next year it will be the Chicago Bulls here, -- (laughter) -- but they said I shouldn’t be so confident. So congratulations, everybody. Give it up for the Dallas Mavericks. (Applause.)
Dirk, you got something for me?
MR. NOWITZKI: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: That's it. That's what I'm talking about.
MR. NOWITZKI: That's it. I heard you're a big, big fan of Michael Jordan.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you so -- well, you know, I was actually -- I was 23 before Jordan.
