The Dallas Mavericks exceeded all expectations this season. Coming in, they were viewed as a fringe playoff team with potential. Led by the superstar breakout of Luka Doncic, the Mavs snapped their postseason drought and proved to be a team on the rise.
One thing that stood out about the 2019-2020 Mavericks was their bond. The group enjoyed spending time together. Their team chemistry was so strong that the front office did not trade the expiring contract of Courtney Lee at the deadline. Their closeness paid off inside the Walt Disney World bubble because friends and family were not allowed in.
