DALLAS That irresistible Killer Crossover is no longer with us. The highest-paid point guard in the NBA shuffles around on one leg these days, reduced to pedestrian ball-handling by the bone-on-bone scraping inside his knee.
With Tim Hardaway on the floor even part-time, the Heat could win 60 games.
And now there s more to fear for Tim Hardaway fans like me.
This pioneer of the I Got Skillz generation might be suffering from fluid on the brain as well.
Either that or Hardaway returned from the Olympics feeling chagrined that the Dream Team wasn t as politically correct as it could have been. Our Timmy could only have been being polite or blinded by the pain when he uttered the following statement:

Finally, friends, we have a winner. Or, at the very least, an answer for our Electoral Crisis. A two-word solution, at last, to fix the only mathematical mechanism in creation more convoluted than the NBA salary cap.
Does David Stern, center, really want an L.A.-Philly final?

We present David J. Stern as your 43rd president of the United States.
We d like to, anyway. It s a little late for nominations, agreed, but it s safe to say that standard parliamentary procedure isn t exactly working, is it?

38 points. 13 assists. 9 rebounds. 4 steals. In 5,260 feet of elevation. I’d say Luka Doncic is in decent shape after all.
Through a couple weeks, Luka is Luka. Soon Kristaps Porzingis will – fingers crossed – return to being Kristaps Porzingis. But what really excites me about the Dallas Mavericks’ 2021 potential is Willie Cauley-Stein. He’s a 7-footer with a seemingly 20-foot wingspan. He can block shots. He’ll protect the rim. Take a hard, necessary foul. He might make a 3-pointer.
