...Though he's by no means an enforcer, Nowitzki has finally shed the "soft" label, buying into coach Avery Johnson's plan that he both bang down low and bomb threes.

The first wave of Euros from the early '90s - Vlade Divac of Serbia, Toni Kukoc and Drazen Petrovic from Croatia - had to earn the begrudging respect of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and the basketball establishment.

They're going to have very different goals in the label. So if a Latina magazine says that I'm a Latina writer, that's okay with me because I think they understand that that's a very diverse group of people.
