DALLAS — Mere hours after they reached 50 wins for the first time in seven seasons, the Mavericks on Thursday morning trended on Twitter.
Not, however, because of their milestone or their postseason outlook, but because they were mentioned on ESPN in the same breath as LeBron James during a conversation about James’ future playing plans.
To be clear, this was not a bombshell report linking James to Dallas. It was morning show jabber, a reaction to a promotional clip from James’ YouTube series, The Shop, in which he was asked which players he most would want to play with. (Warning: The clip contains some NSFW language.)
