NBA Straya #NeverForget – Matthew Dellavedova: NBA Champion Inauguration Day!

#NBA #Straya Never Forget – ‘Delly: NBA Champion’ Inauguration Day!

All hail King Delly of Maryborough, First of His Name, Gatherer of Loose Balls, Crusher of Rims & Sinker of Tins!

That’s right… Hoist up your Corona tins, because two years ago today, our greatest living Aussie sportsperson — like Allan Border, Kieran Perkins, Cathy Freeman, Liesel Jones, Peter Brock and Black Caviar combined — the man, the myth, the legend, Matthew Dellavedovacemented himself as a dead-set Aussie ledge by necking more tins than you’ll find at the Maryborough Park Hotel bottle-o… and leading his Cleveland Cavaliers in overcoming a 3-1 deficit to the Golden State Warriors and winning the 2016 NBA title!

And look, sure Outback Jesus only averaged 7 minutes a game — and shot only 26.3% from the field and 16.7% from 3 — but stats are for nerds.

King Delly instead gave the Cavs more grit than the Great Sandy Desert, more heart than Phar Lap, more determination than Dean Jones in Madras in ’86, and more cunning mongrel spirit than ‘89 Dermott Brereton while showing LeBron James how it’s done and delivering Cleveland their first title in over 50 years.

And in celebration, our Lord & Saviour proceeded to tear apart a Vegas club and knock back enough tasty Mexican froths that would’ve caused even David Boon to say ‘Geez, settle down there Delly.’

 

So on this most special of days, grab a mate, grab a Corona tin, chuck a thumbs up, and hoist ‘em high for the greatest PG to ever lace ‘em up!

All hail King Delly of Maryborough, First of His Name, Gatherer of Loose Balls, Crusher of Rims & Sinker of Tins!

#ONYA Delly, #NBAChamp!
