Back in the summer of 2004 when the Mavs were deciding whether to let Nash – then a free agent – go, or resign him, Cuban relied on his medical staff to help him make up his mind.

I'm sounding like inarticulate grandpa again, wobbling as he gives the Thanksgiving toast, but we needed to be reminded of long-ago lost context from time to time.

These sexy ass rings were given to team members and support staff last night for winning the 2010-11 NBA Championship. The cost to Mark Cuban for these bad boys, which were modeled after the Chicago Blackhawks’ rings from 2010, is about $1.5 million. Not a bad day for that jeweler! The rings include the Mavs’ logo, players’ names and numbers and the 2010-11...

Diminutive point guard J.J. Barea made his return to Dallas on Wednesday night with his new team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the timing of his visit couldn’t have been much better.
