Ballin’: Candace Parker’s Brother Turns in a Better Performance Than Her Husband
The Big Lead —
... 10 points in 40 minutes.
Washington 102, Dallas 91: Shaking off the stench of the Nationals and the Redskins, the Wizards gave fans in the Nation’s Capitol hope with a strong road win to open the season. The silent assassin, Gilbert Arenas, scored 29, but it was the surprising production from the bench (Andray Blatche scored 20, Randy Foye 19) that carried the Wizards. Dirk had 34. Mark Cuban stewed.

He has cash, which is pretty helpful, and he's shown that he'll spend it in an effort to put a winner on the field or, in his case, the court (though his success in this department has faltered considerably in recent years ).
