I've been working for ESPN/ABC for the NBA Finals, mostly for Sports Center and NBA Nation. I usually don't work much sports, so this was a real treat to be on the scene of the biggest sporting event we've had around here (Dallas) for a few years.

I'd only followed the Mavericks casually this year until the end of the regular season--but I'd become a semiserious fan during the playoffs, so I'm really grateful to get to work around the games here. And it really looked like they had the Heat's number, until the last few minutes of the third game. There were lots of glimmers of brilliance after that, but losing four games in a row was one dramatic reversal of fortune.
