Dallas Mavericks Sweep Heat and Magic

Tyson Chandler

Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks are playing some great basketball right now.  I’ve attended several Mavericks games this season and I admit, I was skeptical about the upcoming road games – at LeBron James and Miami and at Dwight Howard and the Magic.  The Mavericks swept Miami and Orlando and are now 23-5 on [...]

Million Dollar Babies of Basketball

Play Their Hearts Out

I’m going to buy this book.  The NBA has returned to prominence on the backs of phenoms like LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Garnett. The media promotes them, the shoe companies pay them, and America applauds. But how exactly do such players reach the pros? What do they give up to get there? And [...]
