Hard things are hard. That’s the new mantra of choice for Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle, who picked up the saying on the Mavs’ last road trip after seeing it inscribed on a plaque which sits in the Oval Office.

Para Chandler Parsons la palabra clave en este comienzo de la temporada regular es una vieja conocida: paciencia. A lo largo de su carrera en la NBA, Parsons ha tenido que armarse de paciencia en varias ocasiones. De hecho, ha debido hacerlo desde el mismo momento en el que comenzó su trayectoria en la liga, […]
Through Wednesday night’s games, among players with at least 200 possessions plus assists, Stephen Curry sits No. 1 atop the list of points scored plus points created via assist per possession.

It’s been a challenging start to the season for Chandler Parsons, playing under a tight minutes restriction and often only for a few minutes at a time.

NBA 2K16 was released this week, and with it came all the usual excitement surrounding the game. But in addition to a new story mode, sharper graphics, more intuitive gameplay, and of course new rosters and ratings, one element of this particular installment in the long-running series is the inclusion of the 2002-03 Dallas Mavericks.

Chandler Parsons can shoot, dribble, pass, and finish at the rim.
