Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one before, because I know you have. With the Dallas Mavericks unlikely to make the NBA playoffs this season, and Dirk Nowitzki eligible to become a free agent after next year, it’s about time we turned his future in Big D into a hot mess. Okay, it really [...]

Gary Payton’s election to the Basketball Hall of Fame is a fitting final chapter for one of the greatest guards in NBA history.
