DONNIE NELSON One of the most respected minds in the NBA, Donnie Nelson is involved in every aspect of the Mavericks basketball operations. Nelson, who owns 22 years of NBA experience, came to Dallas on Jan. 2, 1998 after three seasons as an assistant coach with the . Nelson was instrumental in rebuilding a team that suffered a decade-long playoff draught into a perennial playoff team and championship contender. Under Nelson the Mavericks have won 66.0% of their games with three 60+ win seasons, including a franchise-record 67-win season in 2007 which tied for the sixth best record in NBA history. The Mavericks are also one of just six NBA franchises to win 60 games or more three times in a five year span. During his tenure, the Mavericks have made the playoffs seven consecutive seasons, been to the Western Conference Finals twice, reached a franchise milestone in 2006 when they advanced to the NBA Finals, and won their first Division Title in 20 years in 2007. Nelson successfully coached the Mavericks while his father and former head coach was recovering from cancer surgery in 2000-01. Donnie led the team to a 15-8 record while serving as head coach. He was the top assistant to his father at Golden State, where he served the organization a total of eight seasons (1986-94). Nelson was also a regional scout for the Bucks for two seasons (1984-86). Since 1990, Nelson has served as an assistant coach for the Lithuanian National Team. In that span, he has helped them win three bronze medals in four Olympiads, a silver medal in the 1995 European Championships and a gold medal in the 2003 European Championships. In appreciation of his contributions, Nelson was awarded the Grand Cross of the Commander by the President of in 2004. He also serves as Honorary Ambassador for the League of Industries. In 1994, Nelson proudly served as a scout for USA Basketball at the World Championships in . Dream Team II went undefeated on their way to capturing a gold medal that year. Nelson's tireless efforts helped crack two walls that once seemed unbreakable. He was responsible for signing the first player from both the Soviet Union (Sarunas Marciulionis) and ( Zhizhi) to NBA contracts. In addition, Nelson holds the honor of being the only American coach to participate in a Soviet National training camp. On June 24, 1998, Nelson engineered a deal that brought a relatively unknown German and an unheralded Canadian to Dallas. Both (2007) and (2005, 2006) would go on to be named the NBA's Most Valuable Player, giving the Mavericks the distinction of being the only team in history to acquire two future MVPs in the same transaction. "Donnie has been my biggest supporter from day one," said seven-time NBA All- and 2007 MVP Dirk Nowitzki. "He works harder than any coach or president in the NBA. He thinks about basketball 24 hours a day." Nelson also serves as the Chief Advisor for the Chinese National Basketball Team. During his three years of service, they equaled their all-time best Olympic finish (8th) in Athens and won the Gold Medal at the 2005 and 2007 Asian Championships. He is currently working with the Chinese Basketball Association in preparation for the 2008 Olympics. Nelson's first exposure to the continent of Africa took place in 1992. He has conducted clinics in North Africa, Senegal, Nigeria and South Africa. Nelson is especially proud to be associated with the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program in Africa. This outreach program provides educational opportunities to challenged African athletes. The Mavericks roster currently boasts two African-born players.Nelson founded the "Global Games" in Dallas, which gives area high school kids a chance to test themselves against the top Junior National Teams in the world. The games completed their eighth season this past summer. In Dec., 2002, Nelson's heart for disadvantaged youth led to the creation of the Youth Foundation which has since combined with the charity organization known as Heroes. The foundation's goal is to advance opportunities for underprivileged kids in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and across the globe. A 1986 graduate of Wheaton College (Ill.) , Nelson was inducted into the school's Hall of Honor on Oct. 3, 1997. He led Wheaton in scoring and was an NABC All-Midwest selection. Born Sept. 10, 1962, he and his wife, Lotta, have a daughter, Christie (8/10/92) and son, D.J. (5/24/94).

He developed extensive plans for training camp and practices, and solicited sponsorships in excess of $1M through his connections in Mexico and Latin America.

His mission is simple: “To carry forward my passion of the game, competitive spirit, and will to win by coaching, mentoring, and leading a team of players. My philosophy is to develop not only great athletes, but great human beings through the game of basketball, which provides values, fundamentals, and lessons that can be used in every aspect of life.” When Eduardo is not coaching or playing, he dedicates the majority of his free time to his family and friends.

As presenting partner of the Legends, the team’s home arena will now be called the “Veracruz Court at Dr Pepper Arena” with the Veracruz logo displayed on center court. Additionally, Veracruz will receive significant in-arena signage and television exposure throughout the Legends’ market through the team’s family of local television networks.

“It's truly an honor to partner with a historic and dynamic city like Veracruz,” said Texas co-owner Donnie Nelson. “This destination has it all, and we are excited to further showcase this city to Texas and across the , while extending the Legends brand to fans in Mexico.”

Designed to promote tourism and commerce for the cities of Veracruz and Frisco, and to create greater exposure for the Legends and the NBA D-League outside of the U.S., this partnership signifies another first for the NBA’s official minor league. Recently, it was announced that the NBA D-League would have more than 350 games streamed live on YouTube during the 2012-13 regular season on NBADLeague.com and the NBA D-League YouTube channel, the most live games on YouTube by a major professional sports league, creating greater exposure for the league and its teams internationally, including throughout Mexico.

“With the campaign ‘Incomparable Veracruz’, the Department of Tourism, Culture, and Cinematography of Veracruz aims to increase the of tourists to our destination resorts,” commented Secretary of Tourism Harry Grappa. “Dallas has direct international flights to Veracruz, which makes this a natural partnership. Additionally, this partnership is a first of its kind in Texas, where we believe there is a significant potential for tourism to Veracruz. We look forward to Texans considering Veracruz as a primary travel option on future vacations.”

Through this partnership, Veracruz presents its wide range of cultural attractions, historical, archaeological, and natural products. Highlighting sites like El Puerto de Veracruz and its folklore and history; Tajin Archaeological Zone with its great cultural heritage and traditions; and Tlacotalpan, considered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Furthermore, Veracruz offers nature and adventure activities such as rafting, canyoneering, and diving in the third largest reef area in the world.

“Veracruz has long been the gateway to Mexico, and it’s no surprise the city is on the cutting edge of building a Mexican-American bridge of commerce and tourism,” said Legends head coach Eduardo Najera. “I’m proud to bring the Legends and Veracruz families together in this historic partnership.” The official unveiling of “Veracruz Court at Dr Pepper Arena” and the Legends home jerseys featuring the Veracruz logo, will debut on Saturday, December 15 at 7 pm CT when the Legends take on the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.

2013-14 TEXAS LEGENDS MEDIA GUIDE 29 SEASON RECAP

LEGENDS TAKE BUSINESS AND BASKETBALL TO NEW HEIGHTS IN 2012-13

(May 14, 2013) – The Texas Legends (presented by Veracruz-visit Veracruz.mx) led the NBA D-League in overall sales, sponsorship sales, and season ticket sales, each for the third straight year. Along the way, the Texas Legends signed a historic and innovative presenting partnership with the state of Veracruz, Mexico. The Legends also unveiled new and exciting elements to their game presentation, while becoming the league’s flagship franchise for charitable jersey nights as more than half of the team’s home games centered around unique jerseys. Finally, thanks to the best fan base in the entire NBA D-League, the Legends led the league in attendance. “It was an inspired season-our best yet," stated Texas Legends’ President Bill Boyce. "I'm fortunate to lead a very talented group of individuals who accomplished notable things individually and extraordinary things as a team. Foremost, we created a family-friendly environment for the entire community. I enjoyed tremendously seeing countless smiles on the faces of kids, parents, and grandparents. And, it was extremely gratifying to work with many charities to make this community a better place to work and live. We're so fortunate to be a part of . I couldn't be more proud of the owners, management, staff, interns, and others who joined together to accomplish incomparable results this season.” The Texas Legends successfully partnered with the NBA D-League to revise a rule limiting the number of alternative jersey nights to six. As a result, the Texas Legends produced thirteen jersey nights this past season, each of which benefitted a charity or non-profit. The Legends currently anticipate that it will be partnering with the NBA D-League to produce twenty-four jersey nights next season, each of which will benefit a charity or non-profit. “The game atmosphere and customer service at the Legends is second-to-none,” commented Legends suite owner Jason Schwartz. “Having been to sporting events around the country – in premium seats – the Legends charitable mission and willingness to go above and beyond what is expected to create a first class experience separates them from any other hospitality platform. With the Legends I don’t have to ask when next season starts, because the season never really ends – there is always a next event.” The Texas Legends also successfully partnered with the NBA D-League to revise a rule to expand when music can be played during games. This change increased the energy and augmented an already dynamic game presentation. “The Texas Legends games are one of the most entertaining and stimulating experiences from a fan's perspective that I can recall in over 25 years of watching NBA, NHL, D-League, WNBA, MLB, and minor league baseball games,” added NBA Vice President Jerry Murphy. The Texas Legends also built a TV production trailer that emulates the production trailers used by NBA teams. The trailer was custom designed and built by North Texas Trailers, the workflow is powered by NewTek equipment, and the graphics are generated by Chyron. Utilizing this trailer, the Texas Legends became the first NBA D-League team to produce twenty-three games for local TV and the first NBA D- League team to televise all twenty-four regular season home games live on broadcast or cable TV. In addition, the Legends set a new franchise record for attendance while leading the league in attendance. The Legends accomplished this benchmark in part by selling the most group tickets in the history of the NBA D-League. In basketball operations, the Legends also set a franchise record for call-ups to the NBA as the Legends saw four players coached by Eduardo Najera make their way to the NBA (Chris Douglas-Roberts, Mike James, Justin Dentmon, and Dwayne Jones). Mike James became the first Legends player to be called up and subsequently start in the NBA as he was announced the starting for the Mavericks for the final 23 games of the Mavericks season.
