Dallas Mavericks show off some of the best plays from J.J. Barea
The Dallas Mavericks were not sure what they were going to get from J.J. Barea at the start of the season. He was coming off Achilles surgery. The veteran point guard had to prove he could still play in the NBA.
Barea did just that. He took on a new role this season. Coach Rick Carlisle did not have him in the nightly rotation. J.J. became Dallas’ game-changer. Whenever the Mavs needed a spark, Carlisle called Barea off the bench.
