Dallas Mavericks Company Description
Sports fans in the Big D might make a fast break for this team. Dallas Basketball owns and operates the Dallas Mavericks professional basketball franchise, which joined the National Basketball Association in 1980. Dallas struggled to find success for much of its history but has become a regular contender for the playoffs under current owner Mark Cuban. A talented roster that included such players as Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard earned the franchise's first trip to the NBA Finals in 2006 (which resulted in a loss to the Miami Heat). The Dallas basketball team was formed by millionaire Donald Carter; Cuban, an Internet billionaire, has owned the Mavs since 2000.
