Dallas, known for embracing international talent, is returning to its roots
Three international players? That’s how many the Dallas Mavericks drafted this week. That’s three more than last season. And it’s a huge shift from the previous year, where the Mavs either traded or refrained from resigning every single international player still on the team – after having at least one but up to five European […]

Dusty May and the end of the Asterisk Era
Spend enough years following one franchise and you risk losing the ability to tell its quirks from the league’s. The dysfunction starts to feel like physics. This is just how it works, you tell yourself, because you have no other team’s daily weather to measure it against. You can be loyal to an outlier for […]
