Happy Mother's Day K-Mart, Sincerely M.Cuban

Found May 11, 2009 on BlackSportsOnline:
PLAYERS: Kenyon Martin,  Carmelo Anthony,  Antoine Wright
TEAMS: Denver Nuggets

Photo Courtesy of Getty Images "Mile High Thugs"? To hear Mark Cuban tell it, that's just what the Denver Nuggets are and now Kenyon Martin's mom,Lydia Moore knows that includes her son too. Reportedly after a Carmelo Anthony sinked the game winning 3 pointer putting the Nuggets up 106-105 after an overlooked foul by Antoine Wright with 1 second left in regulation, Cuban stormed off the court and upon seeing Lydia Moore implied her son was a "thug." Cuban admits he told Ms.Moore "That includes her son" after hearing fans yell out that the Nuggets were "thugs." While the Mavs spoiled billionaire owner denies it, Martin's agent claims Cuban hit K-Mart's mom with a "Your son is a punk!" slap to the face gram just a day before Mother's Day.

Indiana Pacer Danny Grainger was named the NBA's Most Improved Player last night or today or whenever after having a pretty solid season for a pretty not-so-solid team.  I guess the award looks at points scored rather than intangibles or any relevant data when choosing.  Anyways, congrats to Danny!
