And if it were not for JET and Finley, I'd get Jim Jackson here in a heartbeat. But Davis would've provided too much of a logjam at point, there are already enough twos and the threes are good enough to play the fours. Hell, even Brendan Haywood would be a viable backup center candidate because I refuse to have Shawn Bradley get dunked on every game. There's certainly a lot I left off, like Josh Howard, Brad Davis. Filling out the last five will be Shawn Marion, Sam Perkins, Shawn Bradley, Derek Harper and for the sake of keeping at least two-thirds of the Three J's intact, give me Jamal Mashburn.Īs for the starting five, give me Nash, Finley, Blackman, Dirk and Tyson. We'll start with the obvious: Dirk Nowitzki, Rolando Blackman, Tyson Chandler, Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Jason Kidd, Jason Terry. Danny ( the best 12 players ever in Mavericks history to make a formidable team might be tough to conjure up, so I don't envy anyone coming up with a list that is far from an exact science. eventually become good enough to crack this Mavs All-Time Team list. If we're all still alive by the time NBA 2K40 comes out, I'd like to see Harrison Barnes and Dennis Smith Jr. He was a stud center who’s career was derailed by drug and alcohol abuse. Although his time with the Mavs was fairly short, I went with Tarpley mainly because he averaged a double-double for his career. This team would be deadly no matter who the starters are honestly.Īs for the remaining seven players to fill out the 12-man roster, I'm going to go with Steve Nash, Michael Finley, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Derek Harper, Shawn Marion and Roy Tarpley. I was almost tempted to leave out a center altogether in the starting lineup, mainly because there’s a lot of players left on the list that are better overall, but Tyson is arguably the best center in Mavs' history, and he paired so well with Dirk during his two seasons in Dallas that I had to start him there. To me, it's probably a coin flip between Nash and Kidd, but I gave Kidd the nod being that he was a better defender and helped bring a championship to Dallas. Dirk, Ro and Aguirre are all givens in my opinion. Dalton ( going to actually start out with my starting five: Jason Kidd, Rolando Blackman, Mark Aguirre, Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler. The other names on the list are pretty unassailable, and I'll be surprised if Dirk, Ro, Finley, Kidd, Nash, Aguirre, Chandler and probably Terry aren't on every single response here. Bradley played more seasons with Dallas than Roy Tarpley and Sam Perkins (who I considered), and he was part of the 2002-03 team that I consider the second best Mavs team of all time. And the roster needed another big desperately, and Bradley gets you blocks at least. The roster already has three point guards (four if you count JET), Davis just isn't on the same level as Kidd and Nash and honestly I just like Harper better. I know that I might catch some flack for including Shawn Bradley instead of Brad Davis, given that Davis's number is retired. One or two of Kidd, Nash, and Harper would be on the floor directing the offense at all times, and Shawn Marion would probably play a good chunk of minutes at power forward to spot Dirk. This roster is a little small and guard-heavy, which is fine since I would have Rick Carlisle coaching it. Can you just imagine Nash-Dirk pick and pop with Blackman available as a shooter and the threat of Chandler as a roll man? Does anyone know if Blackman could play defense? I wasn't alive for most of his career, but maybe he was? I think this starting lineup has a good mix of insane scoring with a defensive stalwart in the paint and on the perimeter. I know I know, it's pretty weird to have Kidd come off the bench, but the Kidd-Nash debate is a close one I think, and I just have a soft spot for Nash. I think I would start Nash, Blackman, Marion, Dirk, and Tyson. Who do you see making the Mavs All-Time Team roster? Out of those 12, who would be in your starting 5? Bailey ( my twelve man roster: Dirk Nowitzki, Rolando Blackman, Michael Finley, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Mark Aguirre, Tyson Chandler, Derek Harper, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion, Josh Howard, and Shawn Bradley. Which players make it? /AhiatziCJr- NBA 2K 2K18 August 11, 2017 #NBA2K18 will feature All-Time Teams for all 30 NBA franchises, comprised of the best players in each team’s history.
