The Dallas Mavericks cover "What does the fox say?"


I don't know what any of that was, but I love it. The Mavs won the internet before their season even started. This is going to be a great year.

The Bearded Dallas Mavericks are bringing a barber to their potential .500 game.


Some of you might be unaware of this, but there is a reason why the Dallas Mavericks, specifically Dirk Nowitzki, O.J. Mayo, Vince Carter, Chris Kaman, Elton Brand, and Jae Crowder are sporting a sudden abundance of facial hair and it is not because they have a future cameo on "Game of Thrones." The Mavericks, who got off to a slow start in the season when Dirk had to miss 6 weeks to recover from knee surgery, made a pact in early February to not shave until their record was .500. And with only one win away from reaching their goal, they brought their barber to the American Airlines Center in Dallas for when they take on the Indiana Pacers tonight. If the Mavs walk away with the victory, those beards will come off.

From ESPN Dallas:
Omar the barber is coming to Thursday night's home game against the Indiana Pacers. 
"Man, everyone is going to have their clippers in their locker Thursday and hopefully you guys can watch us shave them off," said Mayo, who said he doesn't know his barber's last name. "The barber will be here. We're going to leave him tickets and give ourselves a chance to shave them off. 
Nowitzki said his wife of less than a year, Jessica, doesn't like the look but has been a good sport about it. Nowitzki's mother recently told him that he looks 45 years old. 
"I don't really want to jinx it, but I'm ready to get this thing off," Nowitzki said. "That's a big outing for us Thursday against a very good, tough team from the Eastern Conference."
If anything, Dirk looks more like a viking, or caveman, whatever you prefer. I am just not too sure if they should go ahead and shave their majestic male manes when it got them this far, the last thing you would want to do is to reverse jinx yourself.

The Round Up - March 14th, 2013.

Set in Stone: With the win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, the San Antonio Spurs extends their NBA record of 50 or more wins to 14 seasons. After a slow start, going 1 for 7 from the field, Tim Duncan would finish with 28 points on 12 of 20 shooting, and 19 boards to become the oldest player to get such a line since 1992. The Spurs, still without Tony Parker, got their other scoring punch from Gary Neal. He had 16 points (6 of 13), including a few critical threes down the stretch. The Mavericks, who were on the last of their 4 game trip hung in for the most parts of this game. Down 3 with less than 30 seconds remaining on the clock, Dirk (21 points, 11 rebounds) would drain one from the elbow to cut the lead to 1. With a chance to win it after a Manu miss on the other end, the Mavs would come out of their time out with a Vince Carter (10 points, 4-12) fade way three that just rims out.


Yep, braids are cool again.

Bright Lights: In the dreaded return to Portland after spending a whole season at the Rose Garden slightly overweight, Raymond Felton, after insinuating that he would drop 50 points against his former team, had only 11 points on 12 shots. The rest of his teammates weren't of much help either, with the exception of J.R. Smith, who went off for 33 points on 11 of 21 shooting. The game was close in beginning, but after Portland closed out the second quarter with a 13-0 run, the Knicks would only come as close as 4 points in 4th, where J.R. Smith made three straight threes. In his second national television debut, Blazer's rookie, Damian Lillard erupted for 26 points (11 of 18), and 10 dimes, joining LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Stephen Curry as one of the 4 players in this season with at least 1,200 points and 400 assists. LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 points (8 of 15), 10 rebounds and 5 blocks, while playing with a migraine.

Knicks' Stoudemire, Chandler and Anthony were all out due to injuries. Stoudemire will go under season ending knee surgery. Neither Chandler or Anthony have been confirmed for the next game.


He may or may not have traveled on this one.

The Dallas Mavericks Harlem Shake.


I have never taken any form of non-prescription drugs, but I have a feeling that this is what it must be like when you are high on them.

For those of you that don't recognize this new internet craze. This is what they call the "Harlem shake" now. The premise of  these videos is to have one guy dance to the song around a group people, who act nonchalantly for the purpose of comedy. Once the the song asks you to "do the Harlem shake," everyone, that was once doing nothing, will lose their mind and go crazy with you for the rest of the video. Yea this is a thing, the internet will never cease to amaze me.
