Franchise history:
The Dallas Mavericks joined the NBA in 1980-81
and quickly became a competitive franchise. With premium
draft selections the team steadily improved through
the 1980s-Dallas looked like a team of the future.
Then in the early 1990s the Mavericks experienced
one of the most precipitous declines in NBA history.
The team's descent was so complete that it twice threatened
the worst single-season record ever recorded. But
with a solid core of young, talented players, the
Mavericks should be able to start climbing their way
back up the NBA ladder.
Before welcoming the Mavericks in 1980, Dallas had
been home to the Chaparrals of the American Basketball
Association from 1967-68 to 1972-73. On March 26,
1973, the Chaparrals played the Carolina Cougars in
the last ABA game played at Dallas Memorial Auditorium-the
paid attendance was 134. The next season the Chaparrals
became the San Antonio Spurs, and for the next seven
years Dallas was without a professional basketball
franchise.
