Super Marion, Bro

Uhh...Does Cuban know they did this? Well, I guess it's not the biggest marketing fail by a Dallas pro team.

Respect My Gangsta: Mark Cuban

It's a celebration, bitches!

From the NY Post:

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban spent $110,000 in four hours celebrating at club Liv at Miami's Fontainebleau after his Mavs beat the Heat to take the NBA Championship. Cuban spent most of it on a $90,000 bottle of Ace of Spades Champagne for teammates Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry, Brian Cardinal and Shawn Marion. After partying with the trophy until 5 a.m. yesterday and taking in a performance by Lil Wayne, Cuban left a $20,000 tip for the wait staff. "Worth every penny," he cheerily told us via e-mail.

First the NBA, then the Grammies

Dallas Mavericks draftee Shan Foster sings his heart out to a solid Casio demostrumental. The title of the song? "I can't wait to play in the NBA."

While I can't be mad at the man for pouring his heart out in the artistic form of singing, I have to question not only the fact that he picked this pitiful keyboard demo beat to sing over, but spent probably a good amount of time writing to this horrendous beat.

However, when we both wake up tomorrow, I will be here at my desk wondering what would've been if I was 7'5", and he will be going to train at an NBA facility.

You be the judge.

I found a replacement for Dirk

You've probably heard by now that seven-foot sensation Dirk Nowitzki was injured yesterday. There's no real reports on how long he'll be out but if you saw the fall, it was pretty nasty and they're saying that both his ankle AND his knee are injured.

Dallas is currently in 7th place in the west and only two games ahead of Denver for the final playoff spot. Granted, I could definitely see the Ewing effect take place and Dallas becoming a better team than they were with Dirk (Josh Howard?), but that's highly unlikely.

But Dallas fans don't worry -- I've found you the perfect replacement.

Meet Leonid Stadnik, an eight-foot-five gentle giant from Ukraine. He's currently unemployed and ready for a serious playoff run.



Here's the story.
