Count Dirk Nowitzki among the many Dallas Wings fans still fawning over Satou Sabally’s epic performance in the postseason opener.

The Dallas Mavericks had a surprisingly stable and low-key offseason. They re-signed Kyrie Irving to a max $126 million deal, but only for three years. They also brought back Dwight Powell on a fine three-year, $12 million contract. But Dallas was active on the trade and free agency market. On draft night, the Mavs salary […]

Smith threatened to expose Terrell Owns on his podcast “The Stephen A. Smith Show”, Irving took to his Twitter to chime in. “@stephenasmith can y’all […]

Stephen A. Smith just won’t stop trashing his former First Take co-host. Max Kellerman, of course, has the capacity to defend himself from Smith’s oddly persistent and public criticism. Pro Football Hall-of-Famer Terrell Owens decided to take that onus upon himself, though, engaging Smith in a lengthy, heated back-and-forth on Twitter. It’s safe to say even the […]

Not many veteran players have turned down a contract offer from the Golden State Warriors in recent years due to the fact that they’ve won four of the last eight NBA championships.

Kyrie Irving has 126 million reasons to defend the Dallas Mavericks’ honor.

The NBA draft can make or break a franchise, with teams’ ability to both capitalize on their high draft picks, and to find diamonds in the rough further down the draft board, pivotal in their subsequent success – or lack thereof. The Mavericks’ ability to be continually competitive since the turn of the century can […]
