New Dallas Mavericks player Grant Williams, 24, brought an energizing force of excitement to Mavs Hoop Camp Wednesday afternoon, noticing every single child as he hurled half-court shots, did push-ups for losing a game, and offered words of encouragement.
“I love Dallas so far,” Williams said.
Enthusiasm swirled at the Mavs Practice Facility as the youngsters welcomed the newest member of the Mavs.
At times, it felt more like a homecoming than a new beginning.
“You’re my favorite player!” shouted one kid as Williams made his grand entry.
The Mavs forward immediately took over and started coaching and leading the youth.
