Sure, I’m a huge Mavericks fan, but even I can admit Dirk and Co. need to stop shooting the long ball sometimes and go in for the rim-rattling dunk. Josh Howard and Pop Mensah-Bonsu can throw down occasionally, and Diop can put it up there without even jumping, but come on–where are the turnaround slams? The 360s? The highlight reel fodder? If you feel my pain–and you love some old-school street ball–the And 1 Mix Tape Tour may be just what the doctor ordered. And did we mention street ball players have much cooler names than NBA stars? At 2 p.m. this Saturday, thrill to the bone-shattering dunks of dudes like Hot Sauce, Springs, Escalade, Go Get It and Bad Santa as they take on Dallas summer league all-stars in a parking lot on the south side of Woodall Rogers Fwy and N Field St. It may very well be 100 degrees out there, but just remember–the dunks could go up to 720, fool. Tickets are $20. Visit ticketweb.com or and1.com for more information.
Sat., Aug. 11, 2 p.m.
