Forbes writers Chris Smith and Dan Kleinman noted that the competition was fierce for this year’s Forbes “30 Under 30” Sports list because athletics are famously a young person’s game. This year’s 2020 sports class includes an impressive list of stars including NFL standout Patrick Mahomes, NBA stars Klay Thompson and Paul George, along with Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, NFL stud Bobby Wagner – and Dallas Mavericks DJ Poizon Ivy.
Yep, you read that right. Ivy Awino, a Dallas-native who oversees in-arena music for the Mavs, was named to this year’s Forbes lineup of the world’s brightest young stars.
