Believe the White

Well you know something player? Most players nowadays underestimate the power of the white boy because all white boys look the same to them. White boys can't jump, they all say. More so a team of white boys like the Utah Jazz. The only black men are: Raja Bell, Jermaine Boyette, Keon Clark, Michael Ruffin, Deshawn Stevenson and Maurice Williams. That's 6 out of 15 players. You feel me?

And now they blow out one of the strongest teams in the NBA today.

Utah 92, Dallas 76
Jazz Make Easy Work of Mavericks


DALLAS (Ticker) -- Antoine Walker got a Texas-sized welcome from a fellow Chicagoan.

Walker, the latest All-Star added to owner Mark Cuban's arsenal, received a warm ovation prior to the Dallas Mavericks' 92-76 preseason loss to the Utah Jazz.

Walker and Tony Delk, both acquired Monday by the Mavericks, were in street clothes and did not play. Before the game, MIchael Finley - who like Walker grew up in Chicago - introduced both players to the American Airlines Center crowd.

Things soured for the Mavericks shortly thereafter. Their only lead was 1-0 as the the rebuilding Jazz controlled the entire game.

Rookie second-round pick Maurice Williams scored 17 points in 14 minutes off the bench and Matt Harpring added 15 points for Utah (5-1), which kept pace with Memphis for the league's best preseason record.

Forward Aleksandar Pavlovic, Utah's first-round pick, scored eight points.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points but was the only player in double figures for Dallas. First-round pick Josh Howard scored nine points. Finley scored eight points, Jamison seven and Nash four.


Believe that.
