Hey DeShawn! How's Your Drink Taste?

Full Article

During an interview with Dallas’s 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday, DeShawn Stevenson was asked about the Mavericks’ epic South Beach party after winning the title.

“Actually, I didn’t go out,” Stevenson said. “I go out a lot but I didn’t go out that night. I didn’t go to the party because my wife wasn’t there, she’s pregnant and I don’t think she can fly right now, so I’m not gonna go out and celebrate while she’s home. I already felt bad....I mean, I missed being there as a family, I know it was a good time, but at the same time I’m happy we got that championship. If my wife did come, she’s pregnant, we can’t be in the club like that. Somebody could push her, she could slip. It’s not a good look.” [...] Anyhow, inevitably, comes Wednesday’s news that Stevenson was arrested for public intoxication by Irving police, who “found him wandering disoriented in an apartment complex.” The Dallas Morning News wrote that Stevenson did not know where he was. Not a good look.

DeShawn Stevenson was arrested for being too drunk? Didn't the cops know he just won the NBA Championship? Maybe it would have helped if the cops actually knew who he is. Isn't going out after a huge win, or accomplishing anything great for that matter, status quo? I mean if we win our beer league hockey championship, I might not make it into work on Thursday. Might as well just arrest me as soon as I untie my skates. I mean, boys will be boys.

"Hey LeBron! How's My Dirk Taste?"

Probably like sweat socks
and sauerkraut. No homo.

After poking and prodding Miami Heat forward LeBron James throughout the 2011 NBA Finals, Dallas Mavericks guard DeShawn Stevenson got in one final shot following Dallas' NBA title.

The Mavericks closed out the series on Sunday night with a 105-95 win in Game 6 before taking to South Beach club LIV to celebrate with the Larry O'Brien trophy.

On Monday, the Mavericks flew home to Dallas, where Stevenson was spotted wearing a Mavericks blue and white t-shirt with lettering that read: "Hey LeBron! How's my Dirk taste?"

That slogan is an obvious reference to a Shaquille O'Nealfreestyle rap. O'Neal used the line, "Hey Kobe, tell me how my a** taste" to mock his former teammate with the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant.

To add a play on teammate Dirk Nowitzki's name here is incredibly inspired work from Stevenson, who may well have created a legacy for himself as "The Guy Who Got Into LeBron's Head Completely" in these 2011 NBA Finals.

The most underrated part of this shirt is that it bears the sponsorship of HDNet, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban's television station. It's almost like Cuban is personally endorsing the joke.

This series has been beaten to death by the media. Just shoved down your throat 'til you vom. LeBron this, Heat that. I've hardly heard anything about the team that actually won it all. Who did Miami even play again? I digress... This shirt says it all; sums up the entire series. Congrats, Mavs. May no one ever speak of this series again, or I'll smack you with my Dirk.
