Live in McKinney Texas, play ball at the Lifetime fitness's around the area. 36 years old, 6-3 180lbs. Dead eye shooter, I still have not lost the touch, but I am a much better tennis player.

Mav Story you Mav fans will enjoy,
Back in 94 while at Southwest Texas State, got into a fight with a bunch of Houston Rocket fans at the local Sports Bar called Draft Choice. Mavs were up and coming with Kidd leading the attack, Jackson and Mashburn doing all the scoring, and Popeye, and Lorenzo Williams grabbing all the boards. I had to deal with all those dam cocky rocket fans yelling "Go for 18 wins Mavericks!" They would not let up, so I had to punch one of them dead flat in the face, right in front of his girl. Lucky for me, I had some really big buddies that had my back or I could have gotten hurt.

Do not talk bad about my Mavs!!!!!!!!!!!

I still think we got screwed in the 06 Finals. Any of you guys notice that these Europeon Refs will not call a foul when the offensive guy initiates the cantact? They call it that way in 06 and the Mavs win in 5. I just can not let it go.

Born in Oak Cliff, raised in Mesquite and graduated from Midlothian. Did time in Athens & Abilene for academic purposes; Mineral Wells & Waco professionally. Most recently spent 5 years in Monroe, LA and just got back to Texas this month with a move to Sulphur Springs.

Things you assume when maybe you shouldn't, I thought Italy_23 was from that little town south of Waxahachie on I-35, kudos on your multi-lingual abilities. As opposed to my poquito hablo en Espanol, you express yourself very well.
10:20 (pm, 6/29/06) The Mavs take Maurice Ager at No. 28... Ager walks up to the stage in a triple-breasted, oversized beige suit, goes to shake hands with Stern and immediately gets whistled for a foul on Dwyane Wade.
