Does the NBA have a double standard?

As he was exiting the court last night, Kenyon Martin had some choice words for Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, including an pejorative used againt homosexuals. As you can see, this incident was caught on tape and I’m sure the David Stern and the NBA are well aware of what Martin said. However, I seriously …

Hello, Pot? This is kettle, you're black!

The Dallas Morning News is reporting that the Denver Nugget officials are upset with the behavior of some of the Maverick fans at the American Airlines Center last night. Is the Denver Nugget organization really in any position to tell other organizations how their players, fans or owners should act? The Nuggets play with a swagger, …

Toughest Dallas athlete

During the playoffs, a lot has been made about the Dallas Mavericks lack of “toughness.” Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, TNT’s version of Bert & Ernie, and Chris Webber, Mr. I-Don’t-Know-How-Many-Time-Outs-I-Have-Left-and-Ruined-My-Alma-Mater’s-Basketball-Program, constantly criticize Dirk Nowitzki for this very issue. Dirk, a guy who has almost every one of his teeth knocked out, is considered “soft.” …

Mark Cuban and Kenyon Martin's mom

The Dallas Morning News Maverick’s blog reports that Mark Cuban had some special words for Kenyon Martin’s mother after Saturday’s loss. If the quote in the blog is correct, I fully support Cuban.  Denver fans might not like it, Martin’s family might not like it, but Cuban is the only owner in the NBA (possibly …

A look at the major sports championships…

I’m beginning to take a look at the decreasing relevancy of the NBA in the wide world of sports. One of the things that has killed the NBA over the past few decades is the lack of parity. I’m 30 years old, in my life time ONLY 9 different teams have won the NBA title. …

Racism in the NBA?

I was reading a post on the Mavericks blog on the dallasnews.com this morning and noticed  a comment from a Nuggets fan. The Denver fan expressed frustration with Mavs fans labeling the Nuggets as “thugs,” and charged that their was a racist element involved in these accusations. I can’t speak for all Mavs’ fans, but …

Mavs Nuggets Game 1

Under normal circumstances, I would probably be a fan of the Denver Nuggets. I love a team with attitude that plays with swagger and I love athleticism on the basketball floor. However, I am Mavericks fan first and a basketball fan second. With that said, Game 1 was extremely frustrating to watch. There are no excuses for …

Mavs Mental Toughness

As with most Dallas Mavericks fans, the memory of Game 3 of the 2006 NBA Finals remains fresh in my mind. I remember, vividly, the excitement through the first 2 ½ quarters of basketball in that game, glowing in the very real possibility of a four game sweep and the soon to follow championship parade …
