Magic Johnson is the latest celebrity to come to Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, Calif. He briefly talked with coach Wade Phillips and has been cha... The Dallas Mavericks' Josh Howard and Sacramento Kings' Ron Artest are the same age, 28. Both have been All-Stars. Last season, they averaged very similar statistics, Howard with 19.9 points, 7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game and Artest with 20.5, 5.8 and 3.5. If you total them with steals and blocks per game Howard has 30.3 and Artest 32.8. That's what I like to compare, their total contributions. Artest has an edge. He als... The Mavericks won't be signing one 6-8 swingman and three-point threat. Jones, a South Florida native who played at the University of Last week the NBA decided to get tough on officials who may want to cheat. Now the NFL is taking a similar step to prevent another 'spygate.' The NBA hired Ronald L. Johnson as senior vice president of referee. Johnson is retired Army major general. Today, the NFL announced the hiring of Col. Jeffrey Miller for the new position of director of strategic security. Miller, 45, has been commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Polic... Next time Dick Bavetta makes a bad call he may have to drop and give Ronald L. Johnson 20. Johnson was named the NBA's senior vice president of referee operations today. He just retired as an Army major general after 32 years as a combat engineer. He was hired to oversee officiating after the Tim Donaghy scandal. Donaghy is accused of misconduct, including helping the league manipulate playoff results in 2002 and '05. ... For all the talk of the Dallas Mavericks wanting to make a big move in the NBA draft, GM Donnie Nelson, owner Mark Cuban and new coach Rick Carlisle stayed with just the 51st pick.

Sure the Mavs brass is saying all the right things now about he was target of theirs, ca...
The Dallas Mavericks have the 51st pick in tomorrow's NBA draft, that's near the bottom of the second round. They have no first round pick because of the Jason Kidd trade and have a roster full of old players. Meanwhile, the Portland Trail Blazers, according to The Associated Press, have acquired New Orleans first pick (#27) for cash. Some perspective: The Mavs drafted Josh Howard at 29 in 2003. The Blazers have a you... Dallas Maverick Jason Kidd and Dallas native Chris Bosh are on the U.S. Olympic basketball team. With the Dallasites are NBA MVP Kobe Bryant, going to his first Olympics, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Tayshaun Prince, Carlos Boozer, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Michael Redd and Deron Williams. The dozen will take a U.S. Olympic basketball to Beijing in August. They'll look to win gold after a third-place showing in... Sometimes the team with the best record does win it's sports championship. It didn't happen for the New England Patriots, but the Boston Celtics were dominating in the regular season with a gaudy .805 winning percentage (66-16) and were just as dominant Tuesday night defeating the LA Lakers 131-92. It was laughable. All those Kobe haters are smiling today. And what about that Western Conference dominance? Three of the past fi...
