When you think of the Mavs’ defense, blocks might not be the first thing to come to mind. Only Detroit blocked fewer shots than Dallas this season, as the Mavericks instead turned their attention to overloading the paint in an effort to limit opponents’ shots at the rim, encouraging 3-balls instead. The Mavs allowed only […]
德怀特·鲍威尔在新秀赛表现出彩的同时，小牛前锋杰罗米·埃文斯也献出了自己精彩的表演：他赢得了首次“NBA才艺大赛” 的冠军，这是一场旨在让球员展现赛场外天赋的比赛。 埃文斯在西肯塔基大学获得了艺术学专业的学历。他的优势属于绘画、素描，所以没有人怀疑他的画画能力。通过这段视频来了解他最得意的作品，还有他这次参赛的作品。 关注查尔斯·巴克利和TNT的人肯定知道他有多么难以取悦，不过竞争的评委会给了埃文斯的作品水平极高，足以让他获奖。对我来说，埃文斯终于收到他应受到的尊敬。2013年扣篮比赛，埃文斯跳着他画的自画像扣篮。尽管这个超级炫酷，但是并不足以让埃文斯卫冕扣篮大赛（埃文斯赢得过2012年扣篮大赛的冠军）。 终于，这次埃文斯赢了他应得的全明星周末的胜利。此次，他的竞争者包括勇士的哈里森·巴恩斯，巴恩斯用萨克斯管演奏了约翰·传奇唱的《All of Me》，还有来自新奥尔良的科尔弹钢琴表演了爵士音乐。 小牛这位极具天赋的前锋在过去也没有掩饰过自己的艺术天赋。这个赛季初，他在推特给他的关注者秀了他的才艺——他用小圆点在自己的iPad套上画了一幅自画像。 这个周末，埃文斯以及鲍威尔两个人都给人留下了深刻的印象。这个过程中最赞的就是他们都给我们展现了自己在场外的个性——埃文斯的素描、鲍威尔回到他的家乡还有他那些搞笑的推特发帖。看他们在场上表现当然很有意思，可是相比起来，看他们篮球之外的才能能更好地加深他们和球迷之间的那种关系。他们两个人明显都很享受这段经历，也很好地展现了自己。作为球迷，这就是我们所期待的。
While Dwight Powell stood out in the Rising Stars Challenge, Mavs forward Jeremy Evans stole a show of his own: He won the first-ever “NBA Talent Challenge,” an event which highlighted several players’ non-basketball talents. Evans has an art degree from Western Kentucky — his strengths include painting and sketching — so there’s no question […]
Many might believe a D-League assignment is more about working out the legs and less about working out the mind. But the Mavs, for one, don’t think that to be true. Justin Anderson, Jeremy Evans, and Salah Mejri appeared for the Texas Legends, the Mavs’ D-League affiliate, on assignment Saturday night and all performed very […]
Throughout the preseason we’ve seen the youngest Mavericks get plenty of run on the floor at the American Airlines Center — guys like Jeremy Evans, Justin Anderson, and John Jenkins. On Tuesday, however, 42 players took the court and all but one was younger than the springy 6-foot-9 Evans. That’s because he and Devin Harris […]
Much has been asked of Jeremy Evans throughout training camp, but the big man delivered last night in the preseason opener against the Denver Nuggets. Evans’ final line in the box score — 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting, 4 rebounds, and 2 blocks — doesn’t entirely do justice to the level at which he performed […]
For as much attention being paid to floor spacing in today’s NBA, one element of stretching a defense has gone somewhat unnoticed: verticality. That might not be so, at least, with Steve Kerr, Erik Spoelstra, and surely other coaches, who do not underestimate the effect big men with long arms and impressive verticals have on […]
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have signed free agent forward Jeremy Evans. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Evans (6-9, 200) played his first five seasons in Utah (2010-15) where he averaged 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 10.8 minutes in 219 games (seven starts). He won the […]
