Don't ya just love billionaire humor? Mikhail Prokhorov offered his "friend and comrade" his hearty congratulations Tuesday on the Mavericks' defeat of the Heat...and took a bit of a jab at the only other NBA owner who can scream not just in English but Russian.
Dear Mark:
My heartiest congratulations on winning the NBA championship. You showed the world not only what a great team you have, but also, that you can remain silent for a period of weeks--I don't know which is more shocking! To you and all of the Mavericks, especially former Nets captain Jason Kidd, great job! It was a stunning Finals series, truly one for the history books.
Warm regards,
your friend and comrade,
Mikhail
