Chandler Parsons anticipates being booed in his first game at the American Airlines Center since leaving the Dallas Mavericks in free agency.But Parsons, whose Memphis Grizzlies play in Dallas on Friday night, believes Mavs fans would have ridiculously flawed logic if they do boo him.Parsons has been bombarded with negative feedback from Mavs fans on social media since signing a four-year, $94 million maximum contract with Memphis in July. Critics have focused on his injury issues -- both of his seasons in Dallas ended prematurely due to surgeries on his right knee -- and accused him of stealing money from Dirk Nowitzki, who took a hometown discount to give the Mavs salary-cap space that ended up being used to pay Parsons.Houston, I get it. I said some stupid stuff on the way out of Houston [after three seasons], Parsons told ESPN, referring to the boos he gets from Houston Rockets fans every time he returns to the Toyota Center as a visitor. Dallas, I dont understand. Its like getting mad at somebody for getting in a car wreck and breaking their arm. Like, how in the world can you be mad at somebody for getting hurt? It makes no sense. Thats just so wrong to get mad at somebody for getting hurt, like they want to go through the rehab, want to go through the pain, want to go through the misery of not playing. I can never understand that aspect of it.So when it comes to Dallas, youre going to get mad at me because Dirk decided to take less money to bring in a really good player and then unfortunately he gets hurt? Thats why youre mad? Sure, boo.Due primarily to concerns about his knee, Dallas did not make Parsons an offer after he declined to exercise his player option, which would have paid him $16 million this season. Parsons told ESPN he would have taken a lot less than the maximum to re-sign with the Mavs, but hes happy he ended up going to the Grizzlies.I think its a perfect situation for me, said Parsons, who missed the first six games after his rehab extended into the regular season and is trying to work his way into a groove while under a strict minutes restriction. I see so much potential that I can add to this team. It just kind of solidifies that I made the right decision.

He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. LONDON -- His pride would never allow him to say it. The internal mechanisms that keep a competitors nature functioning at peak efficiency wont even permit him to think it. But this is the moment Roger Federer has been waiting for.Federer, already the male all-time Grand Slam singles champion with 17 titles, hasnt won a major since the one he claimed here four years ago. He has remained confident that there is at least one more peak triumph laced into the strings of his racket, even though hes ripped through the pages of the calendar and is deep into his 34th year.In life, theres so much more to come, Federer said after he notched another win at Wimbledon on Monday. In tennis, theres not that much more. I hope there is a bit more in tennis. I hope I can win Wimbledon one more time. That would be nice.Say what you will on behalf of the UKs favorite son, Andy Murray. This tournament has become an empty table set to provide Federer fans with another feast. It became so the moment Novak Djokovics designs on a calendar-year Grand Slam were blown to smithereens by the atomic serves of Sam Querrey. It was an abrupt, unexpected shift, like ordering kobe beef and being served lobster.It was a game-changer, because Djokovic has been Federers nemesis. It is Djokovic, the 29-year old Serb, who has denied Federer the title in three Grand Slam finals (two here at Wimbledon) since the Swiss champ last won one. Its been Djokovic whos managed to push Federers foot out of the doorjamb each time hes tried to barge in and reclaim the No. 1 ranking.Meanwhile, Federer has lorded it over everyone else. Granted, Murray has been playing well. But Federer has won their past five meetings. He also handled Murray in the 2012 Wimbledon final and ruined him in straight sets in the semis last year. Djokovic and Federer were a class better than the rest of the field last year. Federer looks like he still may be, despite the assorted struggle that has limited him to 22 matches before Wimbledon began this year.But Federer hasnt spent much of his down time exploring options that lie outside the white lines.I havent done that much, to be quite honest, Federer said. Ive been tired. Ive been resting, watching some football, playing with my kids in the yard, doing treatment, watching tennis. I think its important right now to be in that mindset. My friends, my family, everybody around me did all the Beyonce, Matilda, all the stuff I wanted to do, too, but just not right now. Right now I have other goals.Federer hasnt lost a set at Wimbledon thus far. It hard to gauge his fitness. Theres no question aabout his fidelity or enthusiasm.dddddddddddd. He equaled Martina Navratilovas Grand Slam record with 306 match-wins. In making the quarterfinals here for the 14th time (in 18 tries), he tied Jimmy Connors record.The amazing thing is that Federer acts and talks like none of this is a big deal. Iron man? The way he tells it, Federer dropped straight from the womb into a lifelong tub of butter, racket in hand.I prefer playing matches in front of thousands of people and on legendary courts rather than practicing in front of nobody, he admitted. But even that I take pleasure from as well. I dont feel like I need it necessarily to live, otherwise I feel like Id be in the wrong place, playing for the wrong reasons.Federer has a pile of right reasons now, starting with the most selfish one. He was in a similar situation in 2009, when his clay-court nemesis, Rafael Nadal, was eliminated in the fourth round of the French Open. With the King of Clay out of the way, the pressure suddenly accumulated. The four matches leading to the title were harrowing for Federer. He barely survived a five-set semifinal with big-hitting Juan Martin del Potro but did and went on to win the title.On Wednesday, Federer has a quarterfinal date with big-hitting Marin Cilic, a 27-year old Croatian who won his one and only Grand Slam title in New York two years ago.He brushed me off the court like I was nothing a few years back in the [2014] US Open semis, Federer said in his on-court interview Monday.Federer sounded almost bitter. Familiar and much-loved Reasonable Fed soon reasserted himself.I didnt play poorly in any way, Federer said. It was just all on his [Cilics] racket. It was very seldom that I was blown off the court like that. I had some chances. But every time I had a small chance, either he served another big serve, or on the return, he went for broke.It was unbelievably impressive how he finished that tournament, quarters, semis, finals. I dont think he lost a set. It was unbelievably impressive.Federer has practiced with Cilic here at Wimbledon, probably never really expecting to meet him at such a critical juncture in the tournament. Federer is prepared. His entire life has been about preparation and vigilance. About being ready to seize the moment. Contemplating Cilics big game, Federer said: I know what Im getting into.What hes really getting into is the stretch run of a Grand Slam without Novak Djokovic in his way for the first time in a long time.
