People thought so highly of him that college basketball tabbed him as a preseason first team All-American. But his first few months of his freshman season were anything but All-American-esque. … [Read more...] about How good might Harrison Barnes be in the NBA?

Texas Rangers Josh Hamilton: Best Player in Baseball?
Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks are kings among sports fans in the Dallas-Fort Worth area right now. But I would argue that the primary beneficiary in the NBA Finals was actually American Airlines, since both arenas in the series are named after the carrier. However, it's Josh Hamilton, left fielder for the Texas Rangers, who is probably the most talented athlete in … [Read more...] about Texas Rangers Josh Hamilton: Best Player in Baseball?
Lebron James Failed: we are all Cleveland Cavaliers today (or so it seems)
Schadenfreude is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This notoriously untranslatable German word is used as a loanword in English, and it perfectly encapsulates what American NBA fans feel today after the Dallas Mavericks denied the Miami Heat the league title. I guess it's fitting the Finals MVP (Dirk Nowitzki) who did them in was a native of Wurzburg, … [Read more...] about Lebron James Failed: we are all Cleveland Cavaliers today (or so it seems)
Dallas Mavericks 105, Miami Heat 95, Game 6: Dirk, Mavs Uber Alles

It's hard not to bring up "The Decision" and the utterly stupid Miami Heat what should have been a press conference but instead became an absurdly pre-emptive and arrogant pseudo-championship rally.

This lived up to all the hype! And I loved it because America's Non-Team lost. Everyone I follow on Twitter seems to be Dallas Mavericks fans, but they're actually just … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 112, Miami Heat 103 Game 5: Taking my Talents to Wurzburg
Dallas Mavericks 86, Miami Heat 83 Game 4: Welcome to the Good Life
-That was the first time since Jan. 5, 2007 that LeBron James was held below double-digits. It's the first time in 90 NBA playoff games that James was held to single digits. We witnessed history! Welcome to the Good Life! Summertime ahhhhhhh. The Dallas Mavericks are back in this, we don't have to concede a title to the Miami Heat just yet. -I hope a reporter asked Lebron … [Read more...] about Dallas Mavericks 86, Miami Heat 83 Game 4: Welcome to the Good Life
