"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marc Stein of ESPN.com reported on Saturday night that free agent point guard Deron Williams had narrowed his list to two teams: the incumbent Brooklyn Nets and his hometown Dallas Mavericks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perhaps emboldened by this news, both franchises publicly went a-courtin' Williams on Tuesday, his 28th birthday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams' wife, Amy, awoke to find a mobile billboard parked outside their Manhattan apartment building. She tweeted a photo to Williams.\nNot to be outdone, the Mavericks (or at least the city of Dallas) wished Williams a happy birthday on the scoreboard at the Texas Rangers game, complete with a request: BE A MAVERICK.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
