The Mavericks just made it official -- Pops Mensah-Bonsu will not be returning this season. This wasn't a surprise given the team's bloated roster and their signing of Brandon Bass last month, but it still stings for us Pops fans. If you weren't already on the Mensah-Bandwagon, you really need to watch this nasty dunk mix:
(See also: blocking lottery picks in the summer league.)
Given his talent and crowd-pleasing abilities, I'm going to speculate that the real reason the Mavs passed on him was his recent admission that he is a Spurs fan!

Hafa Adai Miss Gossip,
I think the real reason da'Pops is being dropped is indeed the block he put on Eazy Yi. Stern was teed off because Pops didn't shown the proper deference and follow the script, soooo, BAM! No Pops. Shame. Outrage. Conspiracy.
And BTW, who provided the music on the Ode to Pops?
Welcome back,
Old Skool Raidah

Pop should join the Adonal Foyle, Samuel Dalembert, and Mo Sene club. Which only allows players with no offensive game and less heart. Sorry Miss Gossip I have to call them how I see them.
