Does the addition of All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo make the Dallas Mavericks legitimate NBA title contenders? That's the question of the hour. What better way to answer it then by pitting the newly-minted team against the reigning champion San Antonio Spurs? Rondo made his debut Saturday, Dec. 19, after being traded by the Boston Celtics earlier in the week in a move that brought doom and gloom upon Boston fans. But Dallas fans are happy, especially after the Rondo-led Mavericks topped the Spurs 99-93, according to "USA Today." Rondo was his usual versatile self, scoring six points and adding nine assists and seven rebounds. He entered the game averaging 10.8 assists per game, a category in which he led the league from 2011-13. On a recent ESPN poll, 74 percent of readers said adding Rondo makes the Mavericks championship contenders, while just 17 percent said they were legitimate contenders already. Read More »
Saturday, Dec. 20, marked the nine-year anniversary of one of the greatest NBA performances of all time, one that could have been even better. On Dec. 20, 2005, Kobe Bryant torched the Dallas Mavericks for 62 points in a game the Los Angeles Lakers won 112-90. The most amazing thing about the performance? Bryant scored all 62 points through just three quarters, according to ESPN. After three quarters, the score was Bryant 62, entire Mavericks team 61. This year is shaping up to be a swan song of sorts for Bryant. The Lakers are one of the worst teams in the NBA at 8-18 and sit in 13th place in the Western Conference. Plans to rebuild around Bryant have not gone well, due to roster construction and injuries. But Bryant recently passed Michael Jordan for third place on the all-time NBA scoring list, and his presence still provides the Staples Center with sell-out crowds. So it's a fitting time to remember one of his best performances. Read More »

But what's the fun of waiting until the spring to consider the league's awards winners?
