Dallas Mavericks The Dallas Mavericks was founded in 1980 as an expansion team. Furthermore, 4,600 postcards from fans played a crucial part in determining its name. In their debut game, the Mavs achieved a surprising win. However, they struggled in their first season, finishing 15–67. Soon, their fortunes improved, with a playoff berth in its fourth season. In coming years, they bolstered its roster through shrewd drafts in the mid-1980s. After a slow start, they earned 5 consecutive playoff berths, including a trip to the Western Conference finals in 1988.

As a result, it led to a period of poor performance and losing records throughout the majority of the decade. However, in the 1998–99 renovation and the arrival of international stars, Dallas became an attractive destination. Furthermore, a change in logo and colors marked a 57–25 season record for 2001–02. In the early 2000s, the Mavs became a dominant Western Conference team and reached its first finals in 2006. However, their long journey soon turned out to be a disappointment.  For years to come, Dallas continued to perform and go past the regular season. However, they faced early playoff disappointments. In the process, the Mavericks became the fourth team in NBA history to post ten consecutive 50-victory seasons. In the 2010–11 season, the Mavericks secured their first NBA championship. Despite being favored to lose, they stormed through behind their offense and teamwork. Following that successful season, the team struggled with early playoff eliminations yet again. In the 2012–13 season, the Mavericks faced challenges and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2000. The following seasons saw a declining performance from the aging star player. Soon, the Mavericks traded another international talent in the 2018 NBA draft. From 2019 to 2021, the Mavericks returned as playoff contenders. In the 2021–22 season, they finished with a 52–30 record, securing the fourth seed in the Western Conference and winning their first playoff series since 2011. In the 2022-23 season, despite a strong start and significant star player additions, the team couldn’t maintain its performance and failed to make the playoffs. Dallas Mavericks owners On May 1, 1980, investor and businessman Don Carter became the founding person for Dallas Mavericks. He secured the bid that brought an NBA franchise to Dallas, thus giving birth to the Mavericks. The team’s entry marked as the 23rd member of the NBA; while not being alone in Texas. In March 1996, after tasting some success with the franchise, Carter let go of his ownership. H. Ross Perot purchased the Dallas Mavericks from original owner Don Carter. However, in Perot’s four-year ownership, the team’s on-court performance remained as it was. Stale and unable to achieve any significant feat, many claim that it was the same as Carter left it in the final season.  Then, on January 4, 2000, Mark Cuban took a significant step by acquiring a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks for $285 million from H. Ross Perot, Jr. Being an avid follower of the sport and businessman in mind, Cuban had an interesting story behind his acquisition of the franchise—Cuban’s decision to purchase the team a spur-of-the-moment choice, rather than a complete business. Six weeks before acquiring the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban attended one of its games. During his presence, he was captivated by the team’s potential. It was then that the business tycoon envisioned the impact he could have as the owner. He entered into power with forward-looking perspectives and a strong belief to reshape the Mavericks’ legacy. Currently, the Dallas Mavericks hold an estimated value of $2.3 billion. Dallas Mavericks retired jerseys, and HOF players Throughout its more than 40-year history, the Dallas Mavericks have celebrated the presence of several Hall of Famers.

Dallas Mavericks active roster for 2023-24 season The Dallas Mavericks had a disheartening 2022 season. Despite starting as one of the league’s top contenders, they faced difficulties as the season advanced. In a bid to bolster their lineup, they acquired Kyrie Irving, renowned for his elite ball-handling and playmaking skills, near the trade deadline.

Nevertheless, armed with an entire offseason to regroup and rebuild, the Mavericks are resolute in their determination to come back strong on the hardwood for the 2023-24 NBA season.
