Ohio governor names Mavs honorary Ohioans
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- John Kasich, governor in LeBron James' home state of Ohio, has issued a resolution praising the Mavericks.
Without naming James, Kasich's resolution commends the Mavs for their "loyalty, integrity and teamwork." He also makes them honorary Ohioans.
The resolution takes a shot at James and singles out MVP Dirk Nowitzki for choosing to re-sign with Dallas, "thus remaining loyal to the team, city and fans for whom he played his entire career."
The resolution says "the proud city of Cleveland and the entire state of Ohio share in the excitement of Dallas Mavericks fans everywhere." -- AP
