Dallas Mavericks Tickets
There is no more exciting ticket in the NBA than a Dallas Mavericks Ticket. Since buying the team in 2000, Owner Mark Cuban has dedicated himself not only to assembling the best talent he can, but to make the experience at Dallas' American Airlines Center the best in the NBA. He has succeeded in both. However, while the Mavericks have fallen short of the ultimate goal, winning an NBA Championship, this year is shaping up to be the Mavericks' best chance. In this run to the NBA Championship, Dallas Mavericks Tickets will be hard to get.
The team has made 18 playoff appearances in their more than 30 year history. The team has won three division titles: in 1987, 2007, and most recently in 2010. The team has won two conference titles in 2006 and in 2011. The team won its first and only NBA Finals Championship in 2011 when they knocked off the Miami Heat in six games. Three former Mavericks, Alex English, Adrian Dantley, and Dennis Rodman, have been inducted into the Hall of Fame; however, none of the three players played for the Mavericks for more than one season. The team has retired the number of two players: Brad Davis and Rolando Blackman. Dirk Nowitzki was named Most Valuable Player in 2007, as well as NBA Finals Most Valuable Player in 2011. Jason Kidd was named Rookie of the Year in 1995, and is one of five players to be named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Avery Johnson was named Coach of the Year in 2006 when he led the Mavericks to the NBA Finals. Three Mavericks: Roy Tarpley, Antawn Jamison, and Jason Terry, have been named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Nine different Mavericks players have been named to the All-Star team.
The Mavericks have two main rivals, the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns. In the 21st century, the interstate rivals of the Spurs and the Mavericks have faced off in the playoffs five times with the Spurs defeating the Mavericks in 2001, 2003 and 2010 while the Mavericks knocked off the Spurs in 2006 and 2009. The rivalry between the Mavericks and the Suns was set off by the free agent signing of Steve Nash, turning the Suns from a 29-53 team to a 62-20 team the next season. Since then, the teams have faced off in two playoff series, the 2005 playoffs, in which the Suns beat the Mavericks, and the 2006 playoffs, in which the Mavericks defeated the Suns.
