Rio Grande Valley Vipers D-League Championship Night: A Photo Retrospective

I realized I titled this a photo retrospective, but I'm a sucker for independent videos of huge moments.  If you'd like the D-League-produced highlights, narrated by the wonderful Alex Del Barrio, check Jon's recap from yesterday.

After the jump, I've compiled the best pictures I could find for our (second annual) Championship Night Photo Gallery!

First, just a few of the great pictures from the D-League photo gallery (Credit: Chris Covatta/NBAE/Getty Images):

Not too many open seats...

Not surprisingly, everybody is on their feet.  Also, this is not an easy shot.

Craig Winder's celebrating and the dancers are flying!

L to R: David Hinojosa, Jonah Goldberg, Alex Del Barrio and D-League MVP Mike Harris celebrating

Will Conroy waited a long time to do this. Also, Rich Melzer - WTF?

And now for some pictures from Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey (via his Twitter):

This looks like an NBA locker room celebration!

The Houston Rockets staff with the D-League championship trophy (Well deserved)
