With the approaching first regular season game between the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs, all eyes are on Vic. Well, the Mavs have to look out for the Spurs and their highly touted rookie center, and the head coach is already addressing that.

The head coach of the Mavs said, “He tends to win the jump balls.” He added, “He’s everything that is hyped about a young player.” With Jason Kidd figuring out a way to win the game, he still thinks that the Mavericks will be the team to register an upper hand.
