Dallas Mavericks all-time roster and statistics leaders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dallas Mavericks are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas. They play in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The team joined the NBA in 1980 as an expansion team[1] and won their first NBA championship in 2011. The Mavericks have played their home games at the American Airlines Center since 2001.[2] Their principal owners are Miriam Adelson and Patrick Dumont. Their current staff includes Nico Harrison as general manager and Jason Kidd as head coach.[3]
Dirk Nowitzki, who played his entire NBA career with the Mavericks starting in 1998, is the franchise's longest-serving player. He played more games, played more minutes, scored more points, and recorded more rebounds than any other Maverick. He also leads the franchise in field goals made, three-pointers made, and free throws made. His achievements include the Most Valuable Player Award in 2007, Finals Most Valuable Player Award in 2011, 14 All-Star Game selections, and 12 consecutive All-NBA Team selections.[4]
Other prominent Mavericks include Steve Nash, who was selected to two All-NBA Teams and two All-Star Games. He and Luka Dončić (five times) are the only other Mavericks who have been selected to the All-NBA Team. Rolando Blackman and Mark Aguirre were selected to four and three All-Star games, respectively,[5][6] and Dončić has been selected to five as of 2024. Six other players, James Donaldson, Michael Finley, Chris Gatling, Josh Howard, Kyrie Irving, and Jason Kidd, were selected to the All-Star Game at least once during their Mavericks careers.[7][8][9][10][11] Three Mavericks have won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award: Roy Tarpley in 1988, Antawn Jamison in 2004, and Jason Terry in 2009.[12][13][14] Ten players were selected to the All-Rookie Team, including Kidd, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1995,[11] and Dončić, who earned the distinction in 2019. Three players, Adrian Dantley, Alex English, and Dennis Rodman, have been inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame, although all of them spent most of their careers elsewhere, and each spent less than two seasons with the Mavericks.[15] Guard Derek Harper, who played 12 seasons with the Mavericks during two separate stints, is the franchise leader in assists and steals. Before being passed by Nowitzki, the blocked shots category was led by center Shawn Bradley, who once led the league in blocks.[16]
The Mavericks have four retired jersey numbers: the number 12 jersey worn by Derek Harper, the number 15 jersey worn by Brad Davis, the number 22 jersey worn by Rolando Blackman, and the number 41 jersey worn by Dirk Nowitzki.[17] Davis, who played 12 seasons with the Mavericks until his retirement in 1992, had his number 15 jersey retired by the franchise in November 1992.[18] Blackman, who played 11 seasons with the Mavericks after being selected by the team in the 1981 draft, had his number 22 jersey retired in March 2000.[19] Harper, who played parts of 12 seasons in two stints with the Mavericks starting with the 1983 draft, had his number 12 jersey retired in January 2018.[20] Nowitzki had his number 41 jersey retired in January 2022.[21] In January 2020 Kobe Bryant's no. 24 jersey was unofficially retired following his death even though he never played for the team.[22]

International players
Summarize
Perspective
In the National Basketball Association (NBA), foreign players—also known as international players—are those who were born outside of the United States. Players who were born in U.S. overseas territories, such as Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam, are considered international players even if they are U.S. citizens.[334][335][336][337] In some borderline cases, the NBA takes into consideration whether a player desires to be identified as international.[334] 45 international players have played for the Mavericks. The first foreign-born Maverick is Rolando Blackman, who was born in Panama. However, he grew up in the United States and was drafted from Kansas State University in 1981.[338] In the 1985 draft, the Mavericks selected three foreign players in the first round; German forward Detlef Schrempf, Canadian center Bill Wennington and German center Uwe Blab.[339][340]
In 1998, the Mavericks acquired Canadian guard Steve Nash from the Phoenix Suns and the draft rights to German forward Dirk Nowitzki from the Milwaukee Bucks.[341] Nash and Nowitzki quickly became the cornerstone of the franchise and in 2001 they led the Mavericks to their first playoffs in 11 years.[342] However, Nash returned to the Suns as a free agent in 2004, while Nowitzki continued with the team and finally led the Mavericks to their first NBA title in 2011.[343][344] In the 1999 draft, the Mavericks drafted Chinese center Wang Zhizhi.[339] After almost two years of negotiation with Wang's Chinese team, he was finally signed in April 2001 and became the first Chinese player to play the NBA.[345][346]
The following is a list of international players who have played for the Mavericks, listed by their national team affiliation.
