I arrived at the American Airlines Center at about 6:30am. I spent all morning outside covering the tens of thousands of Mavericks fans. The parade didnt show up til just after 11a. Then spent the next four hours waiting and photographing the celebration inside the arena for season ticket holders and sponsors.
