Yardbarker: Drew Gooden

Strange substitution

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:52:29 -0500

Drew Gooden was just taken out before the second of two Shaquille O'Neal free throws. He was replaced by Kris Humphries, who is a good rebounder. But Gooden is the best active rebounder on the team, especially at the defensive end in traffic. So naturally, the Cavaliers tipped out the missed free throw by Shaq and ended up with a 3-pointer by Jamario Moon. Maybe the Cavs would have gotten the rebound anyway. But Shaq's been known to miss a free throw or seven. I would have kept Goo...

11/7 Roundup

Mavs Afternoon Drive: Another 'Flier' On Roddy?More injury stuff: Drew Gooden (ribs) did not participate in full contact work for most of this week and should be considered questionable at best for Saturday’s game against Toronto. Tim Thomas (knee) worked out but is not ready to make his debut. Quinton Ross (lower back) also missed the workout. Which makes me want to bounce back to TAKE 1: If the Mavs are without Ross, Gooden, Thomas and Josh on Saturday night … would...

Did Drew Gooden Use a Homophobic Slur?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:00:08 -0500

The Clippers fan who was allegedly victimized — actor Chris Wylde — says so, and the NBA is investigating the incident: “While the subject of an alleged homophobic slur by Drew Gooden continued to fan his own flames Tuesday, the Mavericks stayed silent, and the NBA opened a review of the situation, although it’s difficult to see any substantial penalty forthcoming from the incident. Clippers fan Chris Wylde said in a YouTube video he posted that he and a friend were in...

The Dallas Mavericks recently visited the Staples Center for a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, one that the Mavs won 93-84.

Mavericks Sign Gooden To One Year Pact

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:28:07 -0500

If you have watched Drew Gooden consistently in his seven year career in the Association you are aware that you can always tell the game that the veteran big man will have within the first 30 seconds of the contest. If Gooden is aggressive running up and down the court and jawing you know he is going to have a big night. However if he looks tentative during those opening seconds Gooden will not be a factor for his team in the game.

Sexy Poses and Sweaty Palms

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:05:22 -0500

Post-camp (Thanks to Coach Chancellor for making a stop through!) we departed for New Orleans where I had a photo shoot for the Lynx. The photo shoot went great besides the fact that my agent lindsay and my friend tay teamed up and decided that I should show some skin in this photo shoot. Needless to say, spicing things up was a little awkward at first, but then after I saw? I was sexxxxxyyyy! LOL they say the camera loves skin right? So it didn't really faze me anymore ? though I am now more interested than I ever imagined in the function of double stick tape. After the photo shoot we wandered around the arena making friends with all the hospitality team members. We had a couple of hours to kill before catching LeBron James and the Cavs v. Hornets! Shouts out to Hazel, the bosslady who despite being wheelchair bound because of the loss of her leg (which she actually seemed to forget about when she told us she was going to "walk home from a party"?and immediately followed it up with, "oops! I only have one leg!"), was RUNNIN' thangs. Thanks to her, we had all the chicken fingers our hearts could desire. It was an exciting game but of course the hornets won YAY!. Oh and while at the game the camera team found me and put me on the JUMBOTRON. so embarrassing. I was in the middle of talking and the next thing I knew I looked and they were playing the LSU fight song and showing me on the screen! EEK. I got a stand ovation though?they LOVE ME! Really though, I was mostly glad I wasn't picking boogers are anything at that moment. After the game I got an opportunity to meet Bron, Chris Paul, agency mate Drew Gooden (yes the beard up close is very thick)and a couple more players that were sweethearts. I was corralled into photos as well (see below) and was surprised they actually knew who I was! My friend Tay has a tendency to, when she gets nervous, for her hands and feet to sweat like REALLY bad. After I met lebron and cp, lebron went over and spoke to her?she walked over to me in this panic. I asked what was wrong and she showed me her hands they were dripping with sweat. SHE WAS STAR STRUCK LOL! I laughed at her the whole way home. It was cute though. Another moment that I will cherish. LOL. More to come...Dang these posts are getting long....Peace!
