Dallas Mavericks Tickets

Bringing the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA was no easy feat, and it took a while to secure their place in the Western Conference, with the expansion team finally joining in 1980.

The team, under head coach Dick Motta, suffered losing seasons in each of their first three seasons in the NBA but then went on a run of five successive playoff finishes, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers on three occasions and the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle SuperSonics on the other two seasons.

First NBA Finals Visit

Their first NBA Finals appearance didn't come until 2005-06 when under Avery Johnson, they battled their way past the Memphis Grizzlies, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Phoenix Suns before taking on the Miami Heat in the NBA Championship series.

German Legend

The Dallas Mavericks were however unable to get past their opponents and lost in six games despite the best efforts of arguably their biggest-ever legend, German sensation Dirk Nowitzki, who represented the team from 1998 to 2019.

This period of relative success coincided with the arrival of new owner Mark Cuban, who, to date, has invested massive sums into the team.

In 2010-11 the Mavs once again came up against the Heat and were able to secure their maiden NBA title in an event that once again went to six games.

Don't Doubt the Doncic

The current crop of talents at the Dallas Mavericks, under the guidance of Jason Kidd, is a constant threat in the Southwest Division and, in the shape of Luka Doncic, once again have a world-class star to build their team around.

Doncic is arguably one of the best players in the NBA right now and a star performer who could well help to give the Mavericks a chance at a second-ever NBA title.

Divisional Rivals

The Dallas Mavericks play in the Southwest Division, where they face the Memphis Grizzlies, the New Orleans Pelicans, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Houston Rockets for divisional superiority.
