Mark Cuban wants to become a billionaire bleacher bum if he buys the Chicago Cubs. The Dallas Mavericks owner, known for noisily cheering his NBA team and berating officials from courtside, reiterated strong interest Monday in owning the Cubs.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is siding with former Dallas Mavericks player Roy Tarpley in his legal fight for reinstatement by the NBA, which banned him in 1995 for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
Add Internet billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to the list of potential Chicago Cubs buyers. "I submitted an app," Cuban said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is part of a group considering formation of a football league that would compete with the NFL for players drafted lower than the second round.
As a teenager in Germany, Dirk Nowitzki stayed up late to watch the NBA finals and got up early to watch All-Star games. He worked on his shot every day and came home to a room with a poster of Scottie Pippen on the wall. Barely 20 when he was drafted, Nowitzki wasn't sure he was ready for the NBA. Even after his rookie season, he wondered "if I had it, if I was going to make it in this league."
Dirk Nowitzki has been chosen as the NBA's MVP for leading the Dallas Mavericks to one of the best regular seasons in league history, a team official told The Associated Press on Friday.
Stay calm, get healthy, hope the league has mercy. Forget the last few minutes of the previous game, ignore the talk about how tough it is to close out a series and look forward to the loud love of the home crowd. Do all that and the Golden State Warriors will be just fine in Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. Fail in any area and the previously happy-go-lucky Warriors might have trouble finishing the massive upset they very nearly pulled off Tuesday night.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 12 points during a 15-0 run over the final 3:07, turning a nine-point deficit into a 118-112 victory for the Dallas Mavericks over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, guaranteeing the NBA's best regular-season team at least one more playoff game.
A terrific regular season was a little more than three minutes from a horrendous end. The largest crowd the Dallas Mavericks have ever had was witnessing one of the biggest upsets in NBA playoff history, with a blown 21-point lead to cap it.
A $50,000 fine won't take the emotion out of Stephen Jackson's game. The Golden State Warriors swingman was hit with the hefty penalty by the NBA on Friday for his conduct after being ejected late in the Warriors' Game 2 loss to the Dallas Mavericks two days earlier in their first-round playoff series.
Kobe Bryant said it was simply a matter of effort. The Phoenix Suns agreed. Bryant scored 15 of his 45 points in the fourth quarter, Kwame Brown added a career playoff-high 19 points, and the Lakers rallied to beat the Suns 95-89 Thursday night, cutting Phoenix's lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
Jason Terry takes pride in being the energetic leader of the Dallas Mavericks, the guy whose actions set the tone for the entire team. It can come from diving for the first loose ball of the game. Or from hitting the go-ahead basket and following with a crucial three-point play. And it certainly can come from keeping his cool when opponents are losing theirs. Terry did it all Wednesday night, along with scoring 28 points, leading the Mavericks to a 112-99 victory over the Golden State Warriors and tying the series at one game apiece.
Don Nelson figures the Dallas Mavericks will eventually figure out how to stop his Golden State Warriors. Until they do, he's going to savor every moment.
Watching from a tunnel as the Dallas Mavericks played in the NBA finals last season, Don Nelson had to feel like a proud father. In many ways, he was — with his son running the front office, close friends he'd hired coaching the team and guys he'd molded such as Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard leading the way on the floor.
Kobe Bryant and the Lakers get another chance to finish the job against the Suns. The Chicago Bulls try again to knock out the Miami Heat in the first round. The NBA's second season is all about second chances — and the Dallas Mavericks hope to get theirs in the NBA finals after their collapse against the Heat last year.
The Dallas Mavericks showed off the kind of defense they will need in the playoffs. Dirk Nowitzki scored 20 points, and the Mavericks help the Seattle SuperSonics to their second-lowest point total of the season in a 106-75 victory Wednesday night.
There's no such thing as a meaningless game when the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs play.
The way the Utah Jazz have been playing, they weren't about to discount their 104-89 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night just because Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse and Erick Dampier sat out.
There's no letup in these Dallas Mavericks. Even with the top seed in the Western Conference all sewn up and four regulars sitting out, they kept their foot on the gas on Wednesday night.
The Dallas Mavericks can call themselves the best team in the NBA in 2006-07. "That and a dollar," team owner Mark Cuban said, "leaves you with a dollar."
No more need for talk about tanking. Nobody can catch Memphis for the best shot at the No. 1 pick.
Prop up your feet, Dirk Nowitzki and Jerry Stackhouse. The Dallas Mavericks have clinched the NBA's best record with five games to go. Nowitzki and Stackhouse were Dallas' leading scorers in a 96-86 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night that sealed the top seed this postseason, then coach Avery Johnson announced right away that they wouldn't be joining the club on a road trip to Minnesota.
Jason Terry stole a pass and headed in for an easy layup, the fifth straight basket by the Dallas Mavericks and the kind of momentum-boosting play he usually punctuates with a zooming imitation of his nickname, "Jet." Instead, all Terry could muster was a halfhearted attempt, walking away with his arms slightly above his waist, nowhere near fully extended.
The Denver Nuggets won with defense, of all things. Carmelo Anthony capped Denver's best defensive effort of the season by stealing Dirk Nowitzki's skip pass in the closing seconds, then sinking two free throws with 9 seconds left to seal the Nuggets' 75-71 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.
Although Dirk Nowitzki was sick and missed the game, it still seemed at times like business as usual for the mighty Dallas Mavericks.
making him one of the few players in NBA history who have played for all three Texas teams. "I thought about that," Horry said. "That would be good. I'd come up here next year, give you a good two years, win a championship here and call it quits."

NBA Media Day 2007-2008 is upon us and in Dallas that means the spin begins on yet another long regular season. Last season around media day, Avery Johnson unveiled the internal slogan "Finish" to signify the team's focus on finishing what they started the previous year.
The Dallas Mavericks start training camp on Tuesday, October 2nd, and suddenly this painfully long offseason seems to be coming to a close. If only Mark Cuban can finish stronger than the Mavs did.
Recently, Avery Johnson sat down with Dallas Morning News Mavs beat writer Eddie Sefko for a little pre-training camp 10 questions. Even more recently, I sat down to dissect the answers. It's easier and cleaner than dissecting a frog so I figured what the hell?
As some of you may have noticed over here at brandonmay.com, the website has changed formats a little bit. What used to be known as Brandon May's 3 Cheers - Mavs Land Musings has now morphed into just Brandon May's Mavs Land Musings.
Good evening, I'm Brandon May. My alter ego, The Dude, recently sat down with Dirk Nowitzki for a completely fake interview to discuss everything from last season's playoff collapse to the proper way to eat bratwurst.
Ordinarily, a bearded German backpacker cruising around Australia's east coast in a campervan isn't a cause for curiosity.
"Billionaire Mark Cuban has decided to put all of his weight behind a campaign to smear US troops in Iraq as monsters."
Mark Cuban has some bad news for all the true believers who are investing billions in the Web.

30 years ago today, Elvis took his last crap. 13 days after I was born, The King officially left the building, ruling out the possibility that The Dude is his reincarnate. He would have been 72 years old now, but I think Elvis would have been a tremendous blogger.

Reasons to love the Bay Area: San Francisco is beautiful, I have friends and family from the area, and the Stanford Tree is my second favorite college mascot behind Bevo, of course.
The most historical and significant record in all of sports was just broken, and I could care less. How could I concern myself with such momentous occasions when the Mavs are shaking things up by signing Eddie Jones?!?
