Mike Weinar is hoping the same blueprint the Dallas Mavericks used to win the Orlando Pro Summer League championship two years ago will be on full display again when they start playing in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League in Las Vegas later this week.
The championship victory in Orlando in 2017 was the first and only time the Mavs have ever taken home a title during summer league play. Johnathan Motley’s crucial jumper with 0.3 seconds remaining gave the Mavs the title in the championship game over Detroit in dramatic fashion, 83-81.
And the coach of that Mavs’ team was Weinar, who will also coach the Mavs’ squad in Las Vegas over the next two weeks.
