With a little over a week off for the NBA All-Star break, NBA players have plenty of time to travel around the country and taking in whatever sites they want without having to worry about team related activities. While many players have used to time to head to the beach or other relaxing places, Dallas Mavericks rookie Justin Anderson used it to head back to his former stomping grounds of the University of Virginia and take in the Cavaliers victory over the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Monday. And as the Cavaliers cruised to a 20 point victory, Anderson had a ton of fun.

It started with celebrations as a few pictures were posted this morning of Anderson acting like Kent Bazemore from the sidelines.

But it didn’t stop there, as Anderson reportedly talked trash to Wolfpack players as well. Per Virginiasports.com:

"“It doesn’t matter what we run,” Anderson told State center BeeJay Anya as UVA took control in the second half, “you’re not going to stop it.”"

Anderson seemed to take things in stride though, sharing the images on his Twitter Tuesday morning without any sense of embarrassment.

What happens if Virginia makes a deep tournament run remains to be seen but it does feel like we need to find ways to get Anderson to more games just to see how far he will be willing to take things.
