Rick Barry had worn labels all his life. A brilliant offensive dynamo. A rebel. A perfectionist. A bad father. A pain in the ass. A “no-good, money-hungry person with no sense of values,’’ Barry says, echoing the sort of criticism that has plagued him throughout an incredible career as a Hall-of-Fame player, a controversial broadcaster and a continuing fan and observer of today’s NBA game.
In this exclusive visit with DallasBasketball.com, the outspoken Barry takes on everything from his reputation to Shaq to Barry Bonds to Michael Jordan to Terrell Owens to Sports Illustrated to fired coaches to those infamous underhanded free throws.

Nash and Nowitzki earned invitations Tuesday to the annual NBA showcase of the league's top talent when both were selected by coaches to be reserves on the Western Conference All-Star team.
The honor for the three Mavericks comes just three years removed from when all were doubted individually and blamed collectively for the Mavericks' woes. The Mavericks were 19-31 the first year all three were together. They've improved to the second-best record in the league.
"We've seen this team at the bottom when we first got here," Nash said. "For us to be a part of that turnaround and see our friendship grow along with it is special."

Belo said Wednesday that it sold its minority stake in the Dallas Mavericks and American Airlines Center to Mark Cuban, the team's owner.
The Dallas-based media company said it would receive $27 million for its 12.38 percent share of the National Basketball Association team and its 6.19 percent stake in the new downtown arena where the Mavericks and Dallas Stars play. Belo announced in July 1999 that it had paid $24.5 million to become part-owner of the Mavericks.
Belo also withdrew the lawsuit it filed against Mr. Cuban that alleged that he reneged on an agreement to purchase the Belo stake under the same financial terms offered to former Mavericks owner Ross Perot Jr.

When Malone missed badly on back-to-back jumpers with just over six minutes remaining, the question lingered.
