ESPN ‘Detail’ Curse: Steph Curry and the Warriors the Latest Victims of Kobe’s Series

Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki recently joined The Ben & Skin Show on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM] recently to talk about his latest season and the upcoming draft. Here are some highlights: Watching the lottery, I loved your reaction to it. What was your take on the NBA lottery result? Dirk: “If you look at our history of drafts, where we ended up, it’s just been bad luck for the Mavs. I don’t know why. But every time we’re projected to have a high pick, we always end up the team that slips. I don’t know why that is, but anyways, that’s just how I felt that night. I was like if there’s one team slipping, of course it’s the Mavs. So, that’s why I tweeted that out, and I guess it was funny.”

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee on Friday proposed moving the 3-point line to the international basketball distance of 22 feet, 1¾ inches. If the recommendation is approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel on June 5, the rule would be effective for the 2019-20 season in Division I.
