>The lawsuit, which was filed in Dallas County, Texas, centers around a decision made in July 2017 when Noel was a restricted free agent of the Dallas Mavericks.

My name is Walt Disney, and I am the commissioner of the Cartoon National Basketball Association (CNBA) as well as the head coach of Team Mickey. The CNBA is a fantasy basketball league composed of animated characters from popular movies, shows, and video games.
Here’s a preview of Team Shrek, arguably the best team in the league, led by Shrek, the greatest basketball player in the universe:
Starting Lineup: Lord Farquad - PG Three Little Pig - SG Donkey - SF Elizabeth the Dragoness - PF Shrek - C
Reserves: Big Bad Wolf - PF Duloc Knight - PG Gingerbread Man - SG Puss in Boots - PG
Team Shrek battles against teams such as Team Family Guy, Team SpongeBob, and Team Regular Show, each stacked with players from their respective animated worlds.
The CNBA is 10,000x more competitive than the NBA. The score of Team Shrek versus the 72-10 Golden State Warriors, for example, would be something like 1,000-0.

As a lucky Pistons fan, I’ve been blessed with being able to watch Andre Drummond on the hardwood from day 1. His lack of improving is actually impressive. To not get better at basketball while having to play 70+ basketball games a year seems tough to do. His athletic ability is gone , so what does he lean towards now? You guessed it, nothing. He’s a zero on the court, basketball would be better without him. Dude blows and it’s great watching him get national attention, even though it won’t change anything about him. He finessed a max contract, he won. If he gets more then a vet min this off-season , whatever team that does that needs a complete overhaul of staff.
The NBA has agreed to a sponsorship deal with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, which will become the league's exclusive crypto partner. This is insane actually!They will get WNBA, NBA G League, and USA Basketball branding, but not all deal's terms were provided sadly. With their vision they want to increase awareness around blockchain technology to grow the crypto economy," some report said. I think there's a huge upside to project like Momento, very young and creative team! Although it is interesting to see the "crypto" industry advancing into the mainstream market, Bitcoin will likely be sidelined. What are your thoughts ?
