In the summer of 2015 the Dallas Mavericks offered a 4 year contract worth $70 million dollars to Wesley Matthews. After suffering a brutal achilles injury the season prior, many fans didn’t have confidence in Matthews’ ability to recover from such a devastating ordeal.
The following year the Iron Man played in the first game of the season and 77 more to follow, a spectacular accomplishment in its own right. Despite many experts believing that a return by December even was a long shot, Matthews showed just how tough he was by being ready when called upon.
