Cuban claims he was just using Kobe as an amnesty example but the Mamba made an example of his Mavs. There’s a reason why peeps that blow a lot of hot air have big mouths: That’s so they can appropriately fit their foot in it. That’s what Dallas Mavericks owner MARK CUBAN experienced after KOBE BRYANT mambatized his Mavs in Dallas Sunday following Cuban’s ill-timed remark that the Lakers should apply the amnesty...

Shook Up Mavs: We’re not sure what Vince Carter is wearing (or doing) but we’re just as puzzled as Dirk Nowitzki. Ahhh…please don’t ask me to explain this but the Dallas Mavericks decided to get their Harlem Maverick Shake on. Yes, VINCE CARTER and DIRK NOWITZKI attempting to dance. Brace yourself… Carter, who’s sporting the orange wig and oversized shades, looks like a cracked up Bootsy Collins while...

The eyes don’t lie: O.J. Mayo’s focus this season has been razor sharp. His play on the court has been superb. It’s real refreshing to finally see a gifted young athlete like OVINTON J’ANTHONY MAYO finally come of age in his profession. After a somewhat tumultuous four years as a reserve in Memphis, O.J. Mayo is now flourishing as a starter with the Dallas Mavericks. But it’s not just Mayo’s talent that...

Victim of image? How much of West’s defiant, outspoken demeanor play into the negative perception of him? In the wake of a second indefinite suspension in as many weeks for conduct detrimental to the team, the Dallas Mavericks are in the process of negotiating the release of reserve guard DELONTE WEST. According to sources, Mavericks management is in discussions with West’s agent, Dan Fegan, in ironing out terms for the 8-year...

Durant under duress: KD goes over both Mahinmi and Marion to get the victory with 1.5 seconds left. The NBA playoffs opened to heightened drama and devastating injury Saturday that was capped off by the defending champion Dallas Mavericks on the cusp on stealing Game 1 in OKC. That was until KEVIN DURANT had the final say… Durant’s fall away jumper against top defender Shawn Marion with 1.5 seconds remaining caught enough rim...

Tongue ‘n Stink: Vince Carter and Shane Battier both have some issues with their on court personal hygiene. Apparently, NBA players can be just as disgusting as anyone. In a game between the Mavericks and Grizzlies last week, Dallas guard VINCE CARTER gets rather “offensive” with Memphis star RUDY GAY, causing Gay to get quite defensive in turn… Thank the Lord Smellevision hasn’t been invented yet. I...

Carter occasionally shows flashes of his former self on the court but being 35 years old has begun to show more. My how the mighty have fallen. On Tuesday night, Dallas Mavericks veteran VINCE CARTER took off for the hoop against Sacramento but left his hops in Toronto… Carter airballed a finger roll literally inches from the rim…something none of us could possibly fathom from this one-time human highflyer a decade ago. But as...

Odom was practically non-existent in Dallas, averaging a career low 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds in 50 games. In a move that comes as no surprise, the Dallas Mavericks have parted ways with frustrated forward LAMAR ODOM. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Monday that Odom, 32, and the Mavericks organization reached a mutual agreement to place the NBA Sixth Man of 2011 on the inactive list for the reminder of the season. The move allows...

More fun & games: Dallas Mavericks sharpshooter JASON TERRY is plenty superstitious when it comes to his high socks and headband…not to mention his premature ‘chip tattoo last year. Recently, The Jet put his game-time rituals on the line, challenging JAMEER NELSON, pint-sized point guard of the Orlando Magic, to a friendly Crossfit Face-Off with the help of JADA KISS and BILL BELLAMY (RU!!). Check it… Video courtesy:...

On Wednesday night in Dallas, KOBE BRYANT committed an act of child’s kid’s play on JASON KIDD, converting a back door alley-oop feed from PAU GASOL for two and the foul… The Mamba uncoiled and released his venom on Dallas, thwarting any come back attempts with clutch jumpers en route to scoring 30 points in the Lakers’ 109-93 beatdown of the Mavericks… Dallas was without defensive ace Shawn Marion, who...
