You don't have to be able to dunk to apply.

We temporarily interrupt this recession depression for some good news, wrapped in an employment opportunity.

The NBA's new Frisco Developmental League (D-League) franchise is holding a job fair this afternoon Noon-2 p.m. at Dr. Pepper StarCenter in Frisco. Dallas Mavericks' general manager Donnie Nelson will be on hand shaking hands and accepting resumes for positions with the franchise ranging from coaching to management to game-day operations to sales executives.

Applicants not able to attend may email resumes to dleaguefrisco@nba.com.

At 21 I had ambition. I had goals.

I wanted to win the sports trivia contest at UTA’s Dry Gulch every Thursday night. I wanted to find the sonofabitch who stole two radar detectors out of my Fiero. And I desperately wanted to find a way to get paid for going to sporting events.

You don’t know his name yet. But sooner or later – probably sooner – the 21-year-old operations coordinator for the Frisco RoughRiders will be telling you who the Dallas Cowboys should draft. And you’ll be listening.
