I'm born, raised, and still live in Dallas so I know all about the franchise pre-Dirk. Drafting spares like Randy White and Doug Smith set them back a few years. The 3 Js were great, but couldn't get along so that set them back even further. I remember when they drafted Dirk and people were calling him a bust his first year. Oops.
We honestly didn't deserve dirk. The Mavs were horrible at getting free agents that would help him win and would settle for players that are past their prime.
Niiceee Andy, I really appreciate these non-mainstream topic videos. All we are hearing about right now is Lakers, Celtics, Davis and Porzingis. And then the regular mix of stories within there but I was getting a little worn out with all the speculation
@Best sg in the league ma man, in last 8 games he is averging 22 ppg 11 rpg and 3bpg i would say thats a revival, and especially when u look that AD is leaving and jahlil will be they're New franchise player and he Can only get better from now on coz he is 21 yrs old
Dallas was nothing before he got there .......Mark Cuban deserves some credit as well....he is by most standards a good owner who has at least tried to win
Before Dirk Nowitzki, the Dallas Mavericks had excellent players in Mark Aguirre, Rolando Blackman,Brad Davis,Jay Vincent, Derek Harper and Sam Perkins. Davis came from the CBA, and played in the team's maiden season in 1980-81. Aguirre was an excellent scorer, but was also known for being a bad seed off the court. Regardless, the Mavs had some good teams, but they could not escape the specter of the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs.
The mid 90's Mavs team with Jason Kidd,Jamal Mashburn and Jim Jackson could've been the Mavs long term future but their off-court issues got them all traded out of Dallas. In the late 1980's as a lifelong Pistons fan during the Bad Boys era,the trade Mark Agguire for Adrian Dantley was a gift for the Pistons,from that point onwards like they always say the rest is history.
Jim and Jason clash over Toni Braxton and Mark Aguirre had problems with MAVS and Darnley upset cause rodman take his minutes so pistons trade dantley for Mark Aguirre from the MAVS
Kidd was awesome as a rookie in Dallas! Kidd had a Luka-like 38 point triple-double in a clutch win over a good Rockets team in route to being the first Mavericks player to win Rookie of the Year. It was heartbreaking 💔 when they broke that team up and traded Kidd who was so obviously destined for for the Hall of Fame. Thank God he made it back to Dallas in time to help Dirk get them both rings.
Dick Motta's my great uncle! I still remember when i was young he would tell me how much he enjoyed coahing the game, especially his days in Dallas :')
I think he was unfairly criticized at times. He was a very good coach for a long time and was mostly successful until the ‘90s. Some say that if he had still been the coach in 1987-88, the team would’ve played even better in the playoffs that year snd gone past the Lakers. We’ll never know, but perhaps it’s true.
The heat and cavs were actually good and consistent playoff contenders before wade and lebron. They didnt win any championship because.... Welll... Jordan happened.
Dale Ellis in today’s league would just be a step below Klay. Only reason he dominated was because he was one of the only players that purely relies on the 3. In today’s game each team has got one.
Dear Andy, please make a video on how good were the Golden State Warriors before the Splash Brothers arrived & that will be a surprising one especially that team was born way back in 1946 & one of the few remaining NBA teams who'd survived for more than 70 years since NBA was once called BAA.
OMG! You’re so right about CUBAN! The dude is really passionate about winning and truly loves the game of basketball. Rather have a owner that cares about his team than one who only cares about revenue
@@Clutchcmac19 It’s probably not true. It’s just a bunch of unrelated facts fused together to created a Falsehood. The Mavs did go up to New York to see Braxton, but it was a team field trip, and neither Kidd nor Jackson went. There’s no evidence that Kidd and Jackson met Braxton in Atlanta. And the Triple J’s denied this. I generally don’t think why people think this is true, and it’s not the main factor of the drama between the triple-J’s. The main factor is that they all wanted to be the main guy
How about a video on Tarp? He had HOF talent all the way but snorted his way out of the league. I remember a lot of great talent wasted during the "cocaine era" Tarp, Orlando Woolridge ( who did the between the legs dunk way back in the '84 dunk contest) Michael Ray Richardson, John Lucas, although much latter you could throw Richard Dumas in there too, how the Lakers were even able too play much less win championships is a small miracle... Anyway great vid keep it up.
Roy Tarpley was a very good player he couldn't stay of cocaine it just messed his career up! R.I.P to him! This video took me back though I loved watching the 80's Mavs when I was a kid! I hate I never saw them play at Reunion Arena that place was rowdy! I would see the circus at Reunion Arena though lol
Some of the 80s players are still around the area and the team. Brad Davis and Derek Harper have both done Radio/TV commentary for their games for years. Rolando Blackman was an assistant coach for them and in Europe and still runs a charity organization in Dallas. Those are the only 3 guys to have their numbers retired by the team so far.
They were beast in 87-88. I really thought they would be amazing in the 90s after 1995. They had the 3 J's and were the most improved team in 1995. then boom.
The Mavs of the late 80's thru mid 90's, were a trainwreck of a team. They always had potential, especially when they had a team made up of Kidd, Jackson, and Mash'! Before that trio arrived, the Mavs had players like Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, Brad Davis, Fat Lever, Herb Williams, and Sam Perkins... It just never really happened to come together for the Mavs... not until Coach Nelson arrived.
Dallas should've kept Kidd around. Just look what he did for the Suns & New Jersey. Kidd even won a ring with Dirk. Those 2 could've won way more with each other
You know Cavs were deep playoffs regular during the 80s-mid90s, right? Brad Daugherty, Mark Price, Craig Ehlo, Larry Nance. Those were the guys, and the legendary Lenny Wilkens is their coach. If not because that damn pesky Bulls standing on their way.
In the 1984 draft the Mavericks picked Sem Perkins at no.4 while Charles Barkley was picked at no.5. at the same draft they picked Terrance Stunsburry at no.15 while John Stockton was picked at no.16. So basically it should have been Stockton and Barkley, in Dallas! With Rolando Blackman and Mark Aguire! With Derek Harper and Dale Ellis on the banch...
The Mavs were a really good team before Dirk arrived tho , I mean Derek Harper and Ronaldo Blackman in the 80s , early 90s yeah that’s when they really fell flat tho and went through rebuilding and Dirk really helped them big time
He missed the story of the 80's Mavs. They were a role model for clubs until the Roy Tarpley draft and career. Tarpley started the downfall with his drug use and suspensions and then they started overthinking the draft and you get Randy White, Doug Smith, Jim Farmer, Steve Alford, Cherokee Parks and Samaki Walker. Add in the team being cheap in the 90's plus bad draft picks and you get a wasted decade. Don Nelson was starting the turnaround and then Cuban willing to spend to be good started the rebuild. You also have to mention Aguirre became a cancer in the locker room and Dantley was as bad in Detroit. The mid 80's Mavs was a blast to watch and should have been good into the early 90's. Its similar to the Celtics and Len Bias dying. They just were a stronger franchise and recovered faster.
They're an interesting franchise. In their 40 years, they've almost always had a legit star on the roster. They were a decent team in the 80s. It's a shame that they couldn't make that mid 90s core work. Kidd, Mashburn, and Jim Jackson
Before Dirk was there, the Mavs were basically an irrelevant franchise despite having some of its best years in the 80s. Dirk was simply that good and he singlehandedly made them a relevant franchise and thank goodness for that. Oh Mark Cuban also deserves some credit too.
can u make gsw before curry era also the sixers in post iverson and pre embiid era cavs before lebron and post price era knicks after ewing era blazers on post drexler era jazz in post malone and pre mitchell era
No matter you are LeBron fans/haters, KD’s, Curry’s. You have to admit, Dirk’s ring is worth more than any of Bron’s, KD’s, Curry’s. Maybe not Bron’s 2016 ring.
Nah they all deserve their rings. Fans are getting too soft invalidating championships just because most owners,gms,coaches and players of other teams aren't doing their jobs properly.
@@RuiRuichi He isn't saying they don't deserve it, if you look at Dirk's 2011 run it was just him carrying the team and he torched the Blazers, Lakers, and the Heat and those 3 teams were stacked that year. Most people don't give Dirk a lot of credit for how insane that playoffs run was for the Mavs.
Dont forget David Robinson of the Spurs. All of those tuff years in his first 10 seasons in the playoffs and that one down year (injured, where the Spurs hit the lottery in '97), before finally winning the Spurs 1st NBA title in 1999. With a young Tim Duncan. The Spurs were a bad lottery team from the mid - late '80s. Robinson was coming to a treadmill small market franchise, but they finally broke thru big time since then!
@@trentonmullins4948 I was too young to remember it. So I did not quite know how bad they were. Don Nelson basically saved this franchise along with Mark Cuban.
Wilt, Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond, run TMC, Baron Davis. Yep they were strong and competing since Wilts time until the run TMC then forward to trading away Monta Ellis and giving Steph the spotlight.
There was a variety of reasons why the Mavs couldn’t get over the hump in the late ‘80s and ultimately stayed in the gutter for most of the ‘90s. Mark Aguirre, as good as he was, could’ve been even better. As the leader, he set a bad example from time to time, which cost the team, especially in 1988. The team in the early ‘90s had a lot of talent, but they couldn’t stay healthy. Then, they had bad luck in the Lottery and drafted poorly most of the time. To me, Jim Jackson was the biggest problem between he and Kidd and Mash. They played better w/o him in ‘95 and probably should’ve traded him in the off-season that year. He also held out for most of ‘93, which led to the team going 11-71, along with bad coaching along the way. Don Nelson changed everything for the better and Mark Cuban was the icing on the whole cake. It was a perfect match. God bless them for what they did for the Dallas Mavericks 👍

As a Mavs fan I'm going to be sad when Dirk is gone but the sad part is we didn't deserve him but yet he wanted to stay he even took pay cuts 😭😭😭
We honestly didn't deserve dirk. The Mavs were horrible at getting free agents that would help him win and would settle for players that are past their prime.
When Dirk leaves there will be no loyalty in the NBA.

Kidd was awesome as a rookie in Dallas! Kidd had a Luka-like 38 point triple-double in a clutch win over a good Rockets team in route to being the first Mavericks player to win Rookie of the Year.
It was heartbreaking 💔 when they broke that team up and traded Kidd who was so obviously destined for for the Hall of Fame. Thank God he made it back to Dallas in time to help Dirk get them both rings.

Andy Can You Do?
How Good Was The Miami Heat Before Dwayne Wade Arrived?
How Good Was The Cleveland Cavaliers Before Lebron James Arrived?
The heat were ok before wade
They had glen rice,Tim Hardaway,Alonzo mourning,Rony seikley
The Cavs were also decent in the late 80's and early 90's with Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, and Larry Nance Sr.
The Heat were terrible for their first few seasons (an expansion team), but became a very good team during the mid-late '90s.
The heat and cavs were actually good and consistent playoff contenders before wade and lebron. They didnt win any championship because.... Welll... Jordan happened.
Do a video like this with Cleveland before Lebron arrived. I think you should go in depth about the Cavaliers of the 90’s with Mark Price.
the 92 cavs went to round 3
You know how great a player is when he turned the team around bigtime after 2 years of drafting him. Massive respect to this man named Dirk Nowitzki
Dude, Dale Ellis is hella underrated. Imagine him in the league today.
Honestly If he was in the league today he would be like Bradley beal
Dale Ellis in today’s league would just be a step below Klay. Only reason he dominated was because he was one of the only players that purely relies on the 3. In today’s game each team has got one.
Didnt know he was that nice...i think he was 3rd best player by the time Kemp and Payton blew up
