  • Dallas Mavericks jerseys first graced the hardwood during the 1980 - 1981 campaign.
  • The Dallas Mavericks got the name that's on their jerseys through a radio competition held in the spring of 1980. Over four thousand people entered the contest and the suggested names were judged. Other popular names were the Wranglers and the Express. Forty one people had suggested the jerseys read Dallas Mavericks and they were all given the same prize - 2 tickets to the franchises' opening game.
  • By the early 1990's the Dallas Mavericks and all those wearing their jerseys had hit rock bottom, coming close to setting a mark for the worst win/loss record ever for a team in the NBA.
  • It was in the year 1979 that D. Carter - a Texan millionaire - got things rolling for securing a team in the big state of Texas. For twelve million dollars paid as an entrance cost, Dallas got it's team and Carter was an NBA team owner.
  • The franchise started it's initial campaign in a state of the art stadium. The newly built Reunion Arena, the club sent to the court Abdul Jeelani, T LaGarde, J Whitehead, G Huston, and W Boynes. They defeated the Spurs, 103 - 92 thus winning their opening game.
  • The club was busy trading and dealing in the early years and as a result had plenty of early draft picks and they used them well. In the next 5 years, they had managed to secure 9 first round picks. Through such clever manuveouring they were able to bring in such A-list atheletes such as Perkins, Harper, R Tarpley, and Schrempf. Their intelligent scouting had already been proven in the 1981 version of the draft when they put their logo on Mark Aguirre, Rolando Blackman, and Mr. Jay Vincent.
  • Two uniform numbers have been retired by this organization. They are those belonging to Brad Davis (#15), and Rolando Blackman (#22).
  • The choice of a team nickname to do with horses seemed fitting for Texas. The nickname refers to an unbranded range animal, most specifically a calf that has lost or become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.
  • An alternative definition could be someone who does not follow societies conventions, a dissenter.
  • Mascots for this club include Mavs Man, a superhero like character who defies the laws of gravity with the help of a trampoline. He's available for birthday parties, weddings and bar mitzvah.
  • During the lean early years the lineup looked like this: Marty Byrnes, Brad Davis, Abdul Jeelani, Clarence Kea, Chad Kinch, Tom LaGarde, Scott Lloyd, Oliver Mack, Stan Pietkiewicz, Bill Robinzine, and Jim Spanarkel who wore #34 that first year.
  • Mark Cuban purchased this club from Ross Perot and quickly became one of the most famous of a new breed of young and involved owners who at times acted more like fans than any owner would have been comfortable with not too long ago.
