Center Juwan Howard played his high school ball at Chicago Vocational Career Academy…

Mark Cuban lashes out with Fox rant after confronted with low ratings for woke NBA era By Douglas Ernst The Washington Times August 16, 2020 Mark Cuban says critics of the NBA’s Black Lives Matter activism should focus on Fox News’ ratings before the league.

A group of Black Lives Matter protesters in Seattle marched through a residential neighborhood this…
