Dallas Mavericks history
Dallas joined the NBA for the 1980 season, and by the middle of that decade the Mavs were a playoff regular behind All-Stars Mark Aguirre and Rolando Blackman. The 1990s were lean, and rebuilding dragged on until Dirk Nowitzki joined in 1998. He became the face of the club's best era, taking Dallas to its first Finals in 2006 and its only title in 2011.
Late in his career the team slid, missing the playoffs from 2017 to 2019, and Nowitzki retired after a record 21st season with Dallas. Luka Dončić sparked a fast turnaround: a playoff return in 2020, a conference finals trip in 2022, and a third Finals in 2024. In February 2025 Dallas traded him to the Lakers. Home games are at American Airlines Center, shared with the Dallas Stars.
