DALLAS – In a spinoff of sorts of The Biggest Loser TV show, five members of the Dallas Mavericks coaching/player developmental staff have been busy waging a friendly weight-loss contest.
At stake – besides bragging rights – is enough money to feed a family of four for awhile, paid for by a few of the Mavs players.
The rub: Each of the five participants has to lose at least 15 pounds, or else the deal is off. And whoever sheds the most pounds will receive an added bonus.
The contestants include Mavs assistant coaches Melvin Hunt and Darrell Armstrong, head video coordinator Mike Shedd, player development assistant God Shammgod, and director of player development Mike Procopio.
