Jimmy Butler: A lot of people in my profession do play golf now and after their career. I’m not going to say that is the place for me. When you’re talking about everybody in this spot, you have Serena. I love tennis. Tennis is probably my second-favorite sport, tied with basketball. Nneka Ogwumike plays basketball. Tony Romo is a footballer. My favorite sport of all sports is what Alex Morgan plays, which is what I call football now. Soccer. There are so many different ways to not play basketball. There is the pickleball craze coming into effect. Padel is a very real thing, too.
Perhaps they see that’s rewarded. Bernie Lee: Tony Romo in the NFL has the highest contract of anyone doing TV. He doesn’t crush everyone, he gives nuance to the game. Go be Tony. Explain the game. Like Paul could have talked about how big of a moment playing in your first finals game is. He’s been there. Instead, he doubles down because he took an aggressive position months ago. It’s tired. My guess is Draymond will be the NBA’s Romo. Bernie Lee: Vince. Vince can explain some shit. Or Matt Barnes. Matt Barnes is a TV rock star. Have you seen him do an interview. It’s unreal. He’s one of the best I’ve ever seen.
With Duncan appearing to still be in great shape, Green speculated the Spurs could sign him to a “Romo deal” should they make the Finals, a reference to the Dallas Mavericks signing newly retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo to a one-day contract. “He’s trying to stay in shape,” Green said of Duncan. “He’s still looking like we could sign him. He could come back for Game 6 in the Finals or something like that and collect a ring, if we make it. If we are up in Game 6, three (games) to two, sign him to a Romo deal.”

If Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban had his way, Tony Romo would not only have dressed for Tuesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets, he would have found his way into the game. When he approached NBA commissioner Adam Silver with the idea, Cuban said, "I told him what I was going to do and said, 'Fine me if you don't like it.'" Silver told Cuban the contract would not be honored, which killed the idea but did not stop the Mavericks from honoring the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback.
Dirk Nowitzki: Fan appreciation night. Also honoring @tonyromo tonight. Come early and you can watch him shoot some airballs in layup line....

"Anybody who thinks a layup line is disrespectful, hasn't watched an NBA game," Cuban said. "We've got people shooting half-court shots at every break, we've got kids for ball boys ... We're entertainment. And if they're so self-important they can't recognize that, it's on them. Not me."
Dwain Price: Tony Romo received a thunderous ovation during pregame introductions. He was announced as the 6th starter.
Chris Dempsey: Tony Romo tonight here in Dallas, and Oscar Robertson is expected to be in OKC tomorrow night to celebrate Russell Westbrook
