... Stoudemire out in Phoenix, you know they're going to scratch and claw and do whatever it takes. Utah's going to get [Carlos] Boozer back next week. They'll start winning more on the road. So it's going to be a beast. But you got to love it. That's fun.

Jan Hubbard of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram : “Cuban no doubt would love to have Dirk play 20 years for the Mavericks, but he obviously can’t make that commitment.

... really justified, coming from somebody like Dirk, who is so chic he appears to stash most of his game-night apparel in his glove compartment. Seriously, it was just a few years ago when Dallas first made the NBA Playoffs and The UberMan was so unprepared that Michael Finley had to buy him a suit. (A blue one. Which I believe Nowitzki still has). And now we’ve got somebody with Paul Bunyon’s fashion sense critiquing the couture of the decidedly metrosexual model-dating Kidd?
