DALLAS -- Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says the teams decision not to stay at Donald Trump-branded hotels in New York and Chicago was made before the presidential election.The billionaire technology entrepreneur declined Wednesday to elaborate on the decision, telling The Associated Press it was made months ago. Not recently.Cuban was a frequent critic of Trump during the campaign and supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who lost to the Republican president-elect.ESPN, citing anonymous sources, reported that Dallas, Memphis and Milwaukee were among the teams that moved away from Trump-branded hotels in New York and Chicago. The network reported that the decision was made in part to avoid any implied association with Trump.The Memphis Grizzlies are another team that isnt staying at Trump properties.It had nothing to do with the election. We made those decisions months ago, coach David Fizdale said Wednesday night before a game against the Clippers. We didnt stay in Trump hotels when I was in Miami either, so when I came here I wanted to stay in places I was familiar with. It had nothing to do with him.Several NBA coaches have been critical of Trump since the election, including Golden States Steve Kerr and San Antonios Gregg Popovich.Milwaukee Bucks coach Jason Kidd declined to comment as a team spokesman pointed to a statement earlier in the day that the team would not go on the record about its season travel plans.But star forward Jabari Parker said he supports the teams decision not to stay in Trump properties.It targets most of the guys on the team, the controversy that Donald Trump stands for, Parker told The Associated Press. Im damn near Mexican because my mom is from Hawaii. We have a Muslim on the team (Mirza Teletovic) and all our guys are black, so when you despise our culture, we cant support that.Parker added that hes proud of the Bucks decision.Yeah, because those are tensions that he stands for, and it targets guys on the team, Parker told The AP. They (Bucks front office) dont want to put them in uncomfortable situations just like in the 60s when they said, `Whites only. Thats basically how I look at it because were not welcome in Donald Trumps in-crowd. Air Max 720 Saturn Australia .

The West Brom defender, whose own goal had put Spurs in front in the first half, headed home Craig Gardners corner in the 73rd minute at White Hart Lane, leaving Leicester with the chance to wrap up the title with a victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.Here, we round up the biggest talking points on a bitterly disappointing evening for Mauricio Pochettinos men… Leicester on the brink Tottenham players look dejected after the final whistle Dawsons equaliser prompted wild celebrations among the West Brom supporters at White Hart Lane and the reaction must have been similar among Leicester fans watching at home.Spurs desperately needed three points after Claudio Ranieris sides emphatic 4-0 victory over Swansea on Sunday, but the draw leaves them seven points off the summit. The Foxes need to take just three points from their games against Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea to guarantee the title - meaning they could be crowned champions before Spurs face the Blues on Monday. Nerves get to Spurs Mauricio Pochettino was disappointed to see his title-chasing Tottenham side spurn so many chances to win the game against West Brom. Tottenhams exhilarating title challenge has been characterised by a fearless mentality but for the first time all season, they allowed the nerves to get the better of them at White Hart Lane. In front of goal, they were uncharacteristically sloppy, with a total of two shots on target their lowest of the season so far, and there were signs of indecision as they lost their way in the closing stages. This is the youngest team in the Premier League and a team thats never been anywhere near this before, said Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness. It certainly looked like it got to them in the second half. It became a nervy affair for them. I think some of the Tottenham players did freeze.Jamie Carragher agreed. Dont forget how many times Leicester have won 1-0, he said. It would have been a huge result, but it takes it back to Leicester and how much credit you have to give them. Tottenham have been in that situation tonight and they couldnt quite hang on.Alli in trouble? Tottenhams Dele Alli appeared to hit out at West Broms Claudio Yacob Tottenham will also be sweatiing on Dele Alli, who could be facing FA action after appearing to lash out at Claudio Yacob in the first half.dddddddddddd. The Tottenham midfielder, who was named PFA Young Player of the Year on Sunday night, received close attention from the Argentine throughout the game - and Souness insists its something hell have to get used to.Hes got to accept that lesser lights like Yacob will try and mess him around, said Souness. Hes getting all the attention at the moment as hes the Young Player of the Year. Hes going to get that from a player like Yacob. Hes there to be a spoiler and stop people playing - Allis got to live with that.Pochettino insisted he had not seen the incident in his post-match interview with Sky Sports, but Spurs will be aware that Alli may be hit with a ban if the FA decide to take retrospective action.Dier concern for Spurs Eric Dier was forced off with an injury after West Broms equaliser Alli is not the only midfield concern for Spurs, who also had to watch Eric Dier trudge straight down the tunnel after picking up an injury when Dawson netted West Broms equaliser. The 22-year-old has been a revelation in the holding role this season, and Spurs do not have a replacement in the same ilk.The lack of cover hasnt been an issue so far this season as Dier has started all but one of their 35 Premier League games, but a spell on the sidelines would leave Pochettino facing a challenge to ensure they do not lose their balance in midfield in the remaining games of the campaign.West Brom raise their game Tony Pulis was pleased with the work rate and organisation of his West Brom side as they held Tottenham to a 1-1 draw Having already hit the 40-point mark and lost four of their previous five Premier League games, West Brom were not expected to put up much resistance at White Hart Lane. They certainly struggled in the first half as Spurs took the lead and hit the woodwork twice, but they were much improved after the break, when they had nine shots to Tottenhams five.West Brom in the second half were a totally different team, said Souness. They were bang at it. I think what we have witnessed tonight could only happen in the Premier League. Youve got a team who are playing for nothing and should be in their armchairs who have gone to the potential league champions and got a result and frustrated the life out of them.
