Is this how it will likely be for Parsons for the rest of
his career in Houston or at least for as long as he keeps returning wearing the
blue jersey of the Mavericks?
This is the question that is on many people’s minds as
Parsons returned to the Toyota Center to play against his former team. The fans
showed hostility towards the former Rocket as they booed him each time he had
the ball.
Parsons indicated that his former team the Rockets, were not
willing to offer him a good enough contract for him to stay with them. The
player was offered a more lucrative contract worth about $46 Million by the
Mavericks. Players’ contractual disputes always make NBA News and Parsons is by
no means the last NBA player to find himself in this kind of situation.

In another story that made NBA News, NBA commissioner Adam
Silver needs a wing man to help his bid to get sports betting legalized in the
United States, Mark Cuban is just a text message or phone call away.
The following is taken from an interview that Silver did
with the New York Times as his remarks made the latest NBA News.
“I agree 100 percent,” Cuban said Saturday night before his
Mavs played the Rockets at the Toyota Center. “I think we’re the world’s
biggest hypocrites when we say, ‘Oh, we don’t want you betting on our games,’
and then we get all excited about the sports betting line and people go to
Vegas on trips won from the NBA or NFL. I mean, it’s hugely hypocritical.
“I just think that Adam did the exact right thing. I think
by focusing on the federal regulations and making the changes there, that it
will change. It’s just a question of when. I think over the next three to five
years, it will change.”
“All you’ve got to do is look overseas,” Cuban said. “You
can go and legally bet on the NBA in the U.K. and a bunch of other countries,
and they’re actually big customers of NBA video.
“It’s crazy that we allow it in the rest of the world but
it’s really upsetting that sports leagues don’t think Americans are good enough
to gamble on our sports, but the rest of the world is. That’s un-American.”

A scoring error was
made during the Milwaukee Bucks-Toronto Raptors game on Nov. 21 at Air Canada
Centre, which impacted the final score of the game but not the final outcome of
the game. The announcement, which made NBA News, was made on Saturday by the
association.
John Henson was incorrectly credited with a 3-point field
goal when he made a jump shot in the lane with 1:44 remaining in the fourth
quarter. The final score of the game is
Toronto 124, Milwaukee 82 after the game’s statistics were corrected. Henson,
who has made NBA News before, saw his scoring total changed to six points in
the official box score as a result of this.

Players’ injuries always make NBA News. Jose Calderon is no
exception as making his season debut Saturday for the New York Knicks after
missing the first 13 games with a strained right calf.
Calderon is in the starting line-up against the Philadelphia
76ers and we are hoping that he will give a performance that will make NBA News
on his debut.
