PLANO – Last month Dorian Finney-Smith bought himself a two-year old horse name Stevie. Not that the Dallas Mavericks’ six-year forward is thinking about changing careers or anything like that.
“My dog trainer introduced me to some great guys,” Finney-Smith said. “He has six horses himself, and he just said come get the horse and whenever you don’t want it, just sell it to me.
“For me, it was just to get into that game. I love dogs and I love animals. Shout out to Stevie.”
Finney-Smith may also have wanted to shout out to himself and the Mavs after they advanced to the Western Conference Finals last season and completed the franchise’s most successful season since they captured the 2011 NBA title.
