He (Mike James) signed with the Texas Legends on Thursday afternoon, and hopes to use his stint this time around to impress the Legends’ NBA affiliate, the Dallas Mavericks.

Fresh off his signing, James spoke with us here at RidiculousUpside.com to fill fans in on what’s next in his basketball journey, his time in the D-League last season, and what he’s been up to lately as well.

Q: First and foremost, congrats on the new deal. How did that all come about?

A: Well, I was talking to the Mavericks, and I guess before they make their decision, they want to see me in a few D-League games. I’m pretty sure a lot of General Managers would want to see me play before signing a deal.
