Hooped Up

The Dallas Mavericks have waived Derek Fisher, a move made at the request of the veteran guard.

With this news & the difficulty I have been having being away from my family I have asked the organization to waive me so I can return home.

The Mavericks announced the move Saturday, four days after the 38-year-old Fisher strained a tendon in his right knee in a game against Philadelphia.

Animal Instinct. Tough Soul. Old Bone. Derek Fisher by Roger Space.

If you didnt expect to see a countless amount of PSY  Gangnam Style parodies everywhere this season, you are clearly not familiar with how the Internet works my friend. You are sooooo silly.

OJ Mayo who coincidentally celebrates his 25th birthday today. Displays his O. Mayo back tattoo and a picture of the Larry OBrien trophy in his locker cause maybe he didnt want to commit to getting it tatted on his bicep like the last off-guard that played in Dallas. None the less, he still has his eyes on the prize.

Today the Dallas Mavericks suspended Delonte West again indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team, which prompted West to Tweet his feelings on the matter in a cryptic / emotional way.

Created by Patrick Ortega from Berlin, Germany this Dirk Nowitzki piece is best viewed in a b-boy stance while listening to some proper old school tracks.

During the offseason, Caron Butler stays competitive while he hangs out with his family. Watch as Tuff Juice challenges his daughters to Twister, thumb wrestling, tug-of-war, Hungry, Hungry Hippos and of course, basketball.

Like only he can. Charles Barkley tells his story of the first time he played against Dirk Nowitzki during the 2012 Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game, hosted by Nowitzki himself.

Their fist encounter takes place about 15 years ago in Berlin, Germany. When Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Barkley and a few other stars travelled to Europe as a team to play in the Nike Hoop Heroes Tour and an 18-year-old Nowitzki proceeded to score 52 points on the hall of fame squad.

This performance then prompted Chuck to illegally (and unsuccessfully) recruit Dirk “Cam Newton style” to his alma mater Auburn. Infractions be damned, this is an awesome story.
