Mark Cuban says Doug Christie is “one of those ‘my-body-is-my-temple’ guys.’ And Cuban says it reverently. Christie, 35, takes care of himself in unusual ways, of course, including enveloping himself in the love of his notable wife, Jackie. (And yes, Mavs fans, while the organization isn’t going to bend any rules for her, it has already arranged ways to be sensitive to her needs. If Doug needs guidance from the PR department, for instance, the guidance will come from a male staffer.) In addition to Christie’s defensive mindset, his leadership abilities and his point guard skills, he’s appealing to the Mavs because of the something-to-prove factor: Only the first year of Christie’s multi-year contract is guaranteed. He’ll spent the entire season trying to prove something to everyone, the entire season on a contract run of sorts.
If Christie’s body is his temple, then I’ll guess from that photo that his sock-less, loafer-clad feet are said temple’s stinky basement.
What does Doug’s family think about his over-bearing, physco, bi-polar wife? I hopr they don’t ever have any boys!!!!!
I think the relationship between Doug Christie and his wife is fulfilling. Although, I wonder if she endured some infidelity on his behalf in the past? This may be the reason for her overbearing insecurities. I do respect the fact that their relationship is open, communication is the key to any marriage, especially one that is high profiled. Jackie just needs to lighten up a little, Doug isn’t going anywhere!
Here’s what I think, the Christie’s are laughing all the way to the bank. In my opinion, they’ve come up with a clever way to exploit most everyone’s emotions while getting paid in the process. Great idea, wish I had thought of it myself. The mere fact that most everyone’s observation of the relationship is that it’s over-the top, the money keeps flowing in. Only in America!!!
Doug should upgrade. Trade that old nag hag in for a new model. He can afford it. He’ll be much happier.
