You think Wemby's run is impressive?
In June of 2011, JJ Barea—5 and a half feet tall—locked down LeBron James in the Finals and impregnated Miss Universe. We may never see another run like that.
Some tidbits from the full Masai Interview on Mavs TV with Gina Miller
- Masai knew he was getting the job 2 weeks ago
- After last year’s lottery with the Raptors, his kids were sad the Raptors weren’t getting Cooper Flagg. When he told his kids that he was getting the Mavs job, they were overjoyed because of Coop
- Mentioned again the Mavs history with intentional scouting and their hits with Dirk and Nash.
- Mentioned his first phone call with Dumont was on December 6th, less than a month after Nico was fired. First dinner with Dumont occurred in Miami not Las Vegas like it was reported. Masai has lived in Miami since his Raptors exit
- Once again brought up Coop’s length and feet standing out when he scouted him last year at Duke, perhaps a sign of traits Masai values highly in a prospect
- Was also the alternate governor with the Raptors, and mentioned sitting in owner meetings with Mark Cuban for over 12 years
- Said Dirk set the tone of where the league would end up going with international talent. Called him the face of the league globally
absolute gem here. "i'm gonna be Luka and you're gonna be Dirk" really hits. my 2 year old son is a bit speech delayed but anytime he sees a basketball game on TV he always shouts "LUKAAA!!!"
