Lone stars in Texas: Tony Parker and Dirk Nowitzki

           If we’re talking NBA rivalries, I’m all in with San Antonio Spurs – Dallas Mavericks.  All right, maybe Lakers – Celtics, but after that I’m heading to Texas for my basketball.  Although both teams somewhat lack historical significance, throughout the last decade the Spurs and Mavericks have been arguably the two most consistent teams in the league.  They have faced off five times in the playoffs since 1999 and they have won a total five championships in that time.  Contempt visible between the two teams; there have been strings of ejections and suspensions during the highly suspenseful matchups.
