We could sit here for hours and talk about the many great things that Dallas Mavericks of past and present have done for the Dallas community over the years. We have been so spoiled by the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, Devin Harris, Harrison Barnes and others that it seems almost second nature to have a guy that is fully invested in the people of Dallas.
Those guys are not what we are here for, though. The reason we are even talking about it right now is because Dwight Powell has been nominated for the NBA Community Assist Award, the award given to the player who goes above and beyond to serve his community.
