Saluting Dallas Maverick Luka Dončić Dallas County ☒ Resolution ☐ Solicitation/Contract BRIEFING / COURT ORDER ☐ Executive Session Commissioners Court - Jul 06 2021 ☐ Addendum Saluting Dallas Maverick Luka Dončić Briefing Date: Jul 6 2021 Funding Source: Originating Department: County Judge Prepared by: Shay Cathey, Sr. Policy Advisor Recommended by: Clay Jenkins, County Judge MOTION: On a motion made by TBD, and seconded by TBD, the following order will be voted on by the Commissioners Court of Dallas County, State of Texas: Be it resolved and ordered that the Dallas County Commissioners Court does hereby salute Dallas Maverick Luka Dončić for becoming the youngest player in history to make All-NBA first team twice. ATTACHMENTS: Resolution_LD_Mavs_July 6 WHEREAS, The Dallas Mavericks organization was established in 1980 bringing the first NBA franchise to Dallas County. On June 21, 2018, the Mavericks traded for a 19- year-old Luka Dončić from Ljubljana, Slovenia. He quickly became one of the most recognized and elite players in the game and has brought fans together from across the globe; and WHEREAS, Much like fellow European Dirk Nowitzki landed in our great city 20 years prior, Dončić has quickly become an adored and adopted North Texan. And he’s on track to be right alongside Nowitzki in the history books; and WHEREAS, Today we honor the Slovenian’s ability to unite a community, leading the Mavericks to the Southwest Division title and the team’s second straight playoff appearance in 2021; and WHEREAS, Today we recognize his other accomplishments in the NBA, after the 22- year-old was named to the All-NBA First Team for the second straight year in 2020-21, becoming the youngest player in league history to earn multiple All-NBA First Team selections. The 2018-19 NBA Rookie of the Year also started his second consecutive All- Star Game in 2021, becoming the sixth player in league history to start multiple All-Star games before their 23rd birthday; and WHEREAS, Dončić, already the franchise’s all-time leader in triple-doubles (36), holds career averages of 25.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7.7 assists in 199 regular season games. In the playoffs, his averages have increased to 33.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 9.5 assists in 13 games and he has now surpassed Michael Jordan (33.4 ppg) for the highest career scoring average in postseason history (min. 10 games); and WHEREAS, Dončić carries an important role in the community and we thank him for joining owner Mark Cuban and other team members in donating $1.25 million in February when the winter storm wiped out the county. Luka also joined the Mavs in donating $500,000 in funds to support childcare for healthcare workers on the frontlines of COVID- 19. Luka also donated Jordan shoes to frontline healthcare workers back in March; and WHEREAS, Today here in Dallas County, we celebrate Luka Dončić’s contributions to the game and county, both on and off the court. This year he once again finished second in total NBA jersey sales, second only to LeBron James. Now, anywhere you go across the world, you will see people wearing Dallas across their chests; and NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Dallas County Commissioners Court does hereby congratulate and honor Luka Dončić as an ambassador to the game of basketball and we are thrilled and proud to have him serve as a representative to fine folks of Dallas County. Today we congratulate him on his accomplishments and look forward to more exciting years to come. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we hereby proclaim July 6, 2021 as LUKA DONČIĆ DAY and encourage all #MFFLs to show their pride and appreciation for #77 and for all he has done for our community and for the Dallas Mavericks. .

  • Blockchain, Crypto and Nfts Are the Risky ‘Next Generation of Value Creation’ in Sports
    4/3/2021 Blockchain, Bitcoin and NFTs are the risky 'next generation of value creation' in sports – The Athletic Blockchain, crypto and NFTs are the risky ‘next generation of value creation’ in sports By Bill Shea (/author/bill-shea/) Mar 30, 2021 135 Joining terms such as Wins Above Replacement and Player Efficiency Rating in the sports lexicon are phrases such as non-fungible token (NFT), blockchain and cryptocurrency. The language of Silicon Valley entered the sports industry this year on the back of the white- hot sports collectibles market (https://theathletic.com/2428346/2021/03/05/sports-cards- tom-brady-luka-doncic-andre-the-giant/) because of the enormous sums of money involved. Why? Simple: In an era with little or no in-game fan revenue because of pandemic health- safety protocols, concepts such as NFTs and blockchain are viewed by leagues, teams, owners and athletes as opportunities to make more money. https://theathletic.com/2484646/2021/03/30/bitcoin-crypto-nfts-ethereum-sports-business/ 1/45 4/3/2021 Blockchain, Bitcoin and NFTs are the risky 'next generation of value creation' in sports – The Athletic Fans can expect to see a growing wave of NFT promotions — would you value a bobblehead that exists solely on your iPhone? — and the possibility that future re-sale of tickets will occur on a blockchain that allows the team to get another cut of money. While the technology has been around for years, it’s only in the past couple of months that it’s widely entered both sports and the broader national culture.

  • By Iris Dorbian, Contributor Quirky Sounding Or Unus
    Don't dismiss the unusual when it comes to picking deals 08 November 2013 | By Iris Dorbian, Contributor Quirky sounding or unusual companies that seem to deviate from the norm often times find backing—and some pay off big, too When John Frankel, founding partner at the New York-based venture firm ff Venture Capital, first heard about UniKey, developer of the Kevo app that lets smartphone users unlock doors, he was shocked, even incredulous that an LP would suggest he consider it for an investment. “I told him, ‘Are you kidding? It was on ‘Shark Tank,’“ he said, referring to the popular reality TV show in which aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their often peculiar products or wares to a panel of potential investors, including outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Phil Dumas, CEO and founder of UniKey, had appeared on an episode of the ABC program to promote his app. Dumas had engaged the interest of two of the five investors on the show’s panel, including Cuban and billionaire magnate Kevin O’Leary. But the deal fell through after the show taped in mid-2012. Still, the LP insisted to Frankel that he check out UniKey. Obliging him, out of respect, Frankel watched on Tivo the “Shark Tank” episode that featured Dumas. Soon skepticism gave way to admiration. He agreed with his LP. “I saw that it was a great company,” said Frankel, who prior to founding ff Venture Capital worked at Goldman Sachs for more than two decades. After getting in touch with Dumas, Frankel was confident he was making the right decision to invest.
