Mavericks fans have seen Dirk Nowitzki play on and on and on.
They watch Luka Donu010diu0107 on the court game after game, looking just a little more svelte as the time has passed.
What fans don’t see is Jeremy Holsopple, one of the major reasons that the Mavericks have one of the most respected athletic training staffs in the NBA.
Holsopple, now working on eight seasons as athletic performance director with the Mavericks, on Monday was presented with the NBA’s 14th annual Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year Award at halftime of the game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
