Last concert I went to?

I didn't go to JT either, but there was something I went to...The Rolling Stones concert I definitely want to go. I've never seen them and I am big fan so I'd love to go to the Stones concert."
Favorite vacation spot?
Anything with a beach.
Would I do some broadcasting after I retire?
Not sure. I'm not really sure what life brings after my career, but I'm sure I will stick around basketball somehow. I'm sure I am staying around Dallas after I retire. I've been here so long. This is partly my home obviously.
If I wasn't a basketball star what would I be doing?
I don't know the tallest painter probably in the world
Take Cuban's spot on Shark Tank?
Sure. I would kick him right off.
Josh Hamilton comment?

What phone do I have?
This is an iPhone I think
Who's better in tennis JJ or you?
After the season he came over and I whipped up on him real good, so I got the bragging rights there.
What's my max bench?
Probably 135 at max. I dont even know if I can get that up once.
Who's my pick to win the finals?
I was going to say Cleveland. That was before KLove got hurt. Now I don't know, it might be Golden State. Clippers are playing really well. Memphis is playing well. I don't know.
What the Mavs chances next year?
I have no idea. We have only 4 guys under contract and the rest are free agents, so we are going to hopefully going to sign a couple of new guys and go from there. See if we got a good team again next year.
