dallas mavericks

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle got frustrated on Wednesday night and kicked a ball into the stands.  The ball whacked a fan in the face.

If you are of a certain age, you should be able recite the lyrics to MC Hammer’s 1990 smash hit ‘U Can’t Touch This’ backwards and maybe in your sleep. 34-year old Dallas Maverick’s guard Jason Terry is also a fan, and he gives a Masterpiece Theater-style dramatic reading of Hammer’s boast-filled hip hop classic while wearing his signature headband.

Yesterday, the Dallas Mavericks finally made their Championship trip to the White House. In his official speech, President Obama delivered a mini-roast, taking some jabs at the suited and shaved Mark Cuban, making fun of Jason Kidd's advanced age, and calling Dirk Nowitzki slow. The President even took a shot at the old Albany Patroons (at the 5:50 mark). Patroons faithful be warned, he really ste

Before the drama that was the NBA lockout we had a very exciting finale to the NBA season that saw Dirk Nowitzki leading his Dallas Mavericks to both his and the franchises first NBA championship.

The Mavericks sent the Heat packing Sunday night and won their first NBA Championship.  There's a lot there to break down.  But I choose to focus on what happened after the game; when "King" James took to the podium and firmly planted his foot square in his mouth (This is the second edition of my will be running column "Whaaaa?"  To check out the first, click here).

The Dallas Maverick's beat the Heat going away Sunday night to capture their first NBA title.  It's left a lot of people wondering how they did it.  To me, it comes down to one thing, and it's something I've said before.  In crunch time: take a TEAM over a collection of talent.

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Sunday 105-95 in Miami. It's the first ever NBA title for the Mavs. How did the Mavs win the title? What's next for LeBron and the Heat?

After losing the last two games in the NBA Finals and falling behind in the series 3 games to 2, I really think the Miami Heat have an even bigger issue than LeBron James not showing up in the 4th quarter. Their lack of depth is finally catching up with them.

The Dallas Mavericks are closer to winning an NBA championship than they ever have been before. They lead the series 3-2 heading back to Miami for games 6 and 7.

A pivotal Game 5 of the NBA Finals takes place in Dallas tonight between the Heat and the Mavericks.  Dirk Nowitzki says, "This is our Game 7."  He's right.

LeBron James has been getting hammered by fans following the worst performance of his playoff career in Game 4 against the Dallas Mavericks. What's an accurate, non-emotional assessment of LeBron's reputation as an NBA player?
