Mark Cuban Twists Deron Williams's Words To Make Williams Seem Unhappy With The Nets
On Monday, Deron Williams told reporters that he decided to stay with the Nets instead of signing with the Mavericks due to the absence of Mavs owner Mark Cuban (who was filming an episode of Shark Tank at the time) at the free-agency pitch. Today, Cuban fired back at Williams, but chose to call Wi...
Who Is Using Nets.com To Fuel The Mark Cuban-Mikhail Prokhorov Feud?
Somehow, the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets never owned the Nets.com web domain. (It's surprising, in this era, but it happens.) Until recently, if you tried to go to nets.com, you were redirected to CyberMesa.com, the website for "a telecommunications company with headquarters in Santa Fe, New Mexico." F...

Four-Team Trade Sends Lamar Odom To The Clippers, ESPN Searching For New Picture Of Tadija Dragićević
The Mavericks sent disgruntled power forward/Kardashian sweetheart to the Los Angeles Clippers in a deal including four teams. The Clippers sent Mo Williams to the Utah Jazz who in turn received the draft rights to Shan Foster from the Mavericks. Dallas received the draft rights to Tadija Dragićevi...
Why Bernard James Should Be Your New Favorite NBA Player
The first round of the 2012 NBA Draft was a surprisingly dramatic affair, with one NBA scout equating most all pre-draft analysis to "blowing smoke up each other's asses for weeks." But the best story, arguably, came near beginning of the second round when Florida State center Bernard James was se...
Dirk Nowitzki Is The Teutonic Tambourine Man
His season over, last night Dirk was in Grand Prairie, Texas, to catch indie-folk band the Avett Brothers. Naturally, he was invited on stage to join in on "I Killed Sally's Lover." Dirk was handed a tambourine, and proceeded to rock right the fuck out. (Fun starts at the two-minute mark. [Cosby S...
Don Nelson Finally Will Graduate From College This Weekend
You know what they say. All these dumb NBA players go to college to play basketball, not to learn; it's a farce. No one gets a degree. Things used to be much better in the 1960s before John Calipari and all his fancy sneakers came to town....
Rick Carlisle Was In A Very Bad Place Last Night
A blown charging call that resulted in an Oklahoma City bucket sent Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle off the edge yesterday, and understandably so: the Thunder went to 3-0 in the series against Dallas, nearly ensuring we won't have a repeat NBA champion (which, frankly, was not likely to begin with)...
Rick Carlisle's "Dirty Bullshit Has Got To Stop" Led To An <em>Inside The NBA</em> Discussion Of Profanity In Popular Music
Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle showed some frustration after Oklahoma City's 102-99 win over Dallas tonight, especially in regard to this incident between Dirk Nowitzki and Kendrick Perkins, one that might look mild when compared with certain proponents of World Peace but an example of the phy...
Early This Morning Delonte West Tweeted A Picture Of His Vomit-Soiled Clothes From The Bathroom
Delonte West was sick last night, but still managed to play 27 minutes and score five points on two of five shooting. Then he presumably went home a puked all over the place, took a picture and exclaimed "I think that's the last of it....I feel like my soul just tried to get out my body...gotd#mn!!...
This Drunk Lady Keeled Over In The Aisle During A Mavs Game
Friday night. Dallas. Spotlights beam down on a meaningless game, the playoff-bound (but underwhelming) Mavs against the tanking Golden State Warriors. The game is a spectacle. A party, really. For this lady. Reader and amateur videographer Baron tells us that the lass dances ("inappropriately str...
Delonte West Earned A Technical Foul For Giving Gordon Hayward A Wet Willie
Delonte West's been a source of our amusement for some time, but his antics have run him afoul of the law—and NBA referees—more often than not. He somehow escaped ejection for tonight's shenanigans, in which he shoved a finger in Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward's ear in the second quarter of the Dal...
Vince Carter Airballed A Finger-Roll Last Night
At first, the best part of this clip is how the Kings pretty much allow Carter to traipse down the lane for what should have been one of his signature dunks. Not too long ago, Carter would have obliged by giving all of us something to marvel at. But he's 35 now, and it must be harder and harder for...
Brendan Haywood Says NBA Players Are "Fake Tough Guys"
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Haywood says he never punched Dwight Howard....
Dirk Nowitzki High-Fived Roddy Beaubois So Hard He Nearly Knocked His Head Off
Dirk was a little fired up after his running hook shot drew a foul and put the Mavs up 16 during the fourth quarter of last night's win in Denver. His enthusiasm was a bit more than teammate Roddy Beaubois was ready to handle....
JaVale McGee Did Another JaVale McGee Thing Last Night
We already showed you JaVale McGee's, um, pass to Jason Kidd from last night. And we still think what happened Monday, when he cherry-picked after trying to catch a pass with his face before giving up, is without equal in McGee's ceaseless catalogue of hilarity, a virtuoso blend of the sort of low...
What If Dirk Nowitzki Was Missing A Chromosome And Lived In Phoenix?
Then he'd be like a lot of people living in Phoenix. (h/t Tom)...
ESPN Inadvertently Mic'd Two Mavs Fans Last Night, So Here's The Highlights Of Their Commentary
The Lakers' 96-91 win over the Mavericks last night ended up being more interesting late than it should have been—mostly due to L.A.'s inability to hit free throws down the stretch. Yet there was another, more unique narrative taking place on one of ESPN's audio channels. ...
Did Dirk Nowitzki Shout "Fucking Faggot" After Hitting The Shot That Locked Up Tonight's Mavericks Win?
We're not entirely sure what it is Dirk Nowitzki shouts after hitting the dagger to ensure tonight's 97-94 double-OT win over Portland, but it sure looks like the same thing that earned Kobe Bryant an unprecedented $100,000 fine last season....
