Classic

June 18, 2010

It only takes one word to describe him overall. Fisher
is that good. He is an inspiration to every
sportswriter. I tip my cap off to a guy that has done
his job so well for so long.

Mike is the best

July 08, 2009

I live in Dallas-Fort Worth, and have always really
liked his writing and when he was on the radio. He is
insightful, does his homework, and is also very funny,
which makes reading him more enjoyable. He does not
take himself too serious, which seems to be a lost art
these days.

He knows the ins and outs of Mavs and NBA basketball
and sports in general as well as most.
I could do without his momentary fits of liberalism,
but I will work to get him on the RIGHT track.

A must read! GO FISH!

Better than the rest!

June 05, 2009

Need a Dallas Mavericks fix during the slow off-season?
DallasBasketball.com is the place. Mike Fisher
provides scoops about goings-on behind the scenes,
complete with pop culture references and his own unique
insight, laced with humor and interesting tidbits about
happenings in Cowboys land and sports in general.

The message boards on the site are peopled by
knowledgeable, opinionated, intelligent, quirky,
insightful, self-policed posters, including Fisher
himself. Definitely a cut above others I have read. A
great place to voice your opinion and learn something,
too.

My Morning addiction!

June 05, 2009

Mike's articles are both witty, informative, and life
saving. Life saving? Yeah, especially during the
Mav's summer offseason when there's nothing to do
except go to Fish's db.com site 10 times a day, without
which Western Civilization would cease to exist!

Fish is the Dostyevski of Sportswriters

June 05, 2009

Simply put, he makes you think. He is not always right
but he always puts forth thoughtful and orginal
opinions, and is what I always look for in
sportswriters, he is informed, knowledgeable, and
ichthyological.

Entertaining, fresh and

June 05, 2009

Fisher's no Shakespeare, but what he lacks in style he
makes up with good observation, thoroughness, inside
views and an extensive knowledge of the Dallas
Mavericks. Definitely one of the better sports sites
out there.

My first stop on the internet every day

June 05, 2009

In a time when my favorite newspapers have become
nothing mmore than online ad hosting sites and when
ESPN somehow breaks every story (according to their
crawl), Mike Fisher and DB.com have continued to
maintain a standard of excellence.

Their combination of old-school journalism and
cutting edge technology make this my first internet
stop every day. The articles are both informational and
funny - a rare combination these days. In addition,
I've learned more breaking Mavs and NBA stories there
first then all other sites combined.

One of my favorite things about DB.com is reading the
articles there and then watching them show up in
mainstream news 2-3 days later. Wonder how that
happens?

Finally, this site also has an incredible user board
community that contributes to the overall experience.
Even if some of them are knuckleheads...

The best

June 05, 2009

I have followed Mike Fisher for years from several
differnet radio stations to www.dallasbasketball.com.
He does a great job covering sports and has an
excellent "staff" of researchers that provide insight
into what is going on in the NBA.

Thank you Fish!!
