The King Of No Rings: 5 Stocks For A Dallas Mavericks Title

The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Championship last night, leaving LeBron James ringless once again. The Mavericks won 105-95, as Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry led the Mavericks to their first NBA title. The Mavericks are owned by Mark Cuban, who is one of the most influential entrepreneurs and tech investors around. Cuban made his billions by selling his internet company at the height of the "dot com era," and has had successful investments and ventures since then. Yahoo

is one of the stocks for a Mavericks title, since Yahoo purchased Cuban's Broadcast.com in 1999 for $6 billion. Yahoo has had its problems with investors, as CEO Carol Bartz is not well liked amongst Wall Street and investors. Yahoo Sports! is one of the major sports portals on the web, and the Mavericks are the main story on Yahoo! Sports today. Nike

is another stock for the Mavericks NBA championship, as Nike is the leading shoe seller and sports equipment seller in the world. Of course, it did not help LeBron James last night, as he fell apart again last night in the fourth quarter. Shares of Nike trade at 16.5 times forward earnings, and sport a 1.6% dividend yield. Pepsi

is another name to consider, as Gatorade is the preferred sports drink of the NBA, and it helped Nowitzki, Terry and the rest of the Mavs win the series, 4-2. Shares of Pepsi trade at 14 times forward earnings, and sport a dividend yield of 3%. Madison Square Garden

is another name to consider. While the New York Knicks didn't win the NBA Finals, Madison Square Garden is the only publicly traded company that allows you to own an NBA team, arena, and other entertainment venues. Shares trade at 20 times next year's earnings. Maybe the Knicks will win next year, having both Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire for a full year. The last name for a Mavericks win is Disney

. Disney owns ESPN, the worldwide leader in sports. It also owns ABC, which carried all 6 games of the Mavericks-Heat series, and is sure to boost Disney's earnings this quarter from the strong ad sales. Shares of Disney trade at 12.8 times next year's earnings, and sport a 1% dividend yield. 5 stocks for a Mavericks title win, but will any of these names help your portfolio? If you listen to legendary NBA announcer Marv Albert, you may get your answer: Yesssssss!!!!
