The Team
The Dallas Mavericks franchise was founded in 1980 and is a member of the Western Conference. The Mavs have won three division titles (1987, 2007 and 2010) and made four Western Conference Finals appearances (1988, 2003, 2006 and 2011) before winning their first NBA Championship against the Miami Heat in 2011. Win or lose, Mavs fans are loyal – they continuously have sellout crowds and one of the highest home game attendance records. The Mavericks franchise has an extensive list of notable players including Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and of course, Dirk Nowitzki.
