As much as the Mavericks appreciate owner Mark Cuban’s creativity, they want their NBA championship rings.  After the Mavericks clinched the franchise’s first championship with Sunday night’s win over the Miami Heat, Cuban said he might reward his team with something other than “old school” rings.
“Rings are done,” Cuban told NBA TV. “It’s time to take it to the next level.”
“We got to talk to him about that,” Finals MVPÂ Dirk Nowitzki said with a big smile. “I don’t think the last word has been spoken yet. You know he always wants to do something different, wants to do something bigger, but I mean, the ring is just so classic.
“I think I would vote for a ring. I mean, I’m a man. I don’t know how I’d feel about a bracelet. I’ve gotta go with a ring.”

——Here’s what Jason Terry Had to Say:
“As a player and a historian of the game, we want the ring,” Terry said. “You look at the Sports Illustrated cover of Bill Russell holding those rings, you see Phil Jackson’s rings . . . you want that ring. That means a lot. That’s the thing that you can go to your grave with.”
Terry told Jim Rome on his radio show that he might take it upon himself to come to their rescue.
“I tell you one thing,” Terry said. “If I’ve got to buy those rings myself, Jim, we’re going to have rings.”
