Mbenga believes Mavs are very close to winning another championship

FRISCO – DJ Mbenga knows a thing or two about winning an NBA championship. The 7-foot, 245-pounder was a reserve

center on the Los Angeles Lakers’ squad that captured back-to-back titles in 2009 and ’10.

So, when Mbenga was asked Wednesday how close are the Dallas Mavericks to winning the franchise’s second NBA title, he raised his right hand and there was less than an inch separating his thumb from his index finger.

“They can make it this year coming up,” said Mbenga, who spoke at the Mavs Academy Hoop Camp inside the Frisco Athletic Club.
