Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks joined the NBA in 1980 and it wasn’t long before
Dallas’ latest sports team thrust itself into title contention,
consistently reaching the playoffs between 1982-1990.
Throughout their history, the Mavericks have been one of the
most stable franchises in the league. They made their first finals
appearance in 2005-06, losing to the Heat. They would meet
Miami again five years later, this time beating the famous ‘Big
Three’ in 6 games to lift their first championship.
Jason Kidd, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki are just a few of the
notable names to have worn the Royal Blue jerseys.
