Wow, what a remarkable and historic start to the new basketball season and it’s my dream that 2020 is filled with many new memories that we can all share together! The team has been hard at work on the court and in the community and your enthusiasm and loyalty truly fuels our entire organization. On a personal note, I want to acknowledge our passionate leader and team owner, Mark Cuban, on a monumental milestone. Mark purchased the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 4, 2000, and this year marks his 20th anniversary! Some people might not realize that Mark was once just a fan like many of us. He had the courage to dream – and believe – of someday creating an NBA game environment that was driven to serve the fans first! He’s accomplished that, along with countless successful seasons, and also led us to the organization’s first and only NBA title. Happy anniversary, Mark, and thank you for all you’ve done for the Mavericks and this city! Hello, 2020! Let’s be rowdy, proud and loud! We are Dallas Mavericks!

The Charlotte Hornets have been one of the league's more pleasant surprises in 2019-20. After losing franchise cornerstone Kemba Walker in free agency this season, it could have been easy for the Hornets to completely. But instead, they've hardly missed a beat. As of Christmas, they were just one game out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Filling in for Walker has been Devonte' Graham, one of the breakout players of the season. but the Hornets are definitely getting Graham, a second-year point guard, younger. Fellow young players like has already solidified himself as one Terry Rozier, Miles Bridges, and of the most dangerous threats from PJ Washington join Graham in the beyond the arc, converting better than starting lineup for a Hornets team that 40 percent of his long-range shots on has consistently found ways to win more than nine attempts per game. close games.

This Charlotte isn't completely rebuilding, should be a great game.
