Not sure @kobebryant collectors will get too excited about this one ... but there’s pretty much nothing I’d rather show 10-year-old me if I had a time machine. You are too much, @PaniniAmerica!!!

Here is the Mavericks’ full 19-man roster for training camp:
The Mavericks have today formally re-signed Dwight Powell and league sources tell @TheSteinLine that Dallas has not ruled out trying to create a roster spot for him.
Media Day begins now at the @AACenter with the Mavericks already carrying the maximum 15 standard NBA contracts.

Dwight Powell was with the Mavericks this week at the Kyrie Irving-led minicamp in Los Angeles and the expectation, league sources say, is that Powell will receive a formal training camp invite even though Dallas currently has a full roster with 15 standard NBA contracts.

Before Pete Maravich at LSU there was Bob Pettit. Before Dominque Wilkins with the Hawks in Atlanta, there was Bob Pettit with the Hawks in St. Louis. The first great power forward in the game. 11 year career. 11x All Star. 1 of only 7 players to have played 60+ playoff games and averaged 25 pts and 10 rebounds (Dirk, Olajuwon, Jokic, Anthony Davis, Elgin Baylor, & Giannis)
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame mourns the passing of Bob Pettit, a sleek, skilled big man who revolutionized the forward position during his career. The 11-time NBA All-Star and 2-time MVP retired as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and left an enduring legacy. He led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship over the Boston Celtics. The Basketball Hall of Fame salutes this true giant of the game.

Bob Pettit still shares the record for most points in an NBA Championship clinching game w/ Giannis. Pettit had 50 in a Game 6 win for the St. Louis Hawks in the 1958 Finals, the only team besides Boston to win a title between 1957 and 1966. RIP to one of the legends of the game.
