NEWS FLASH: MAVS COACH STEALS $1.8 MILLION DURING THE LAST TWO QUARTER……
The lavish event at the Hilton Anatole raised money to support North Texas families, women, and children’s needs.
Along with coach Jason Kidd, general manager Nico Harrison, minority owner Mark Cuban, chief executive officer Cynt Marshall, and a few former Mavs legends, all of the Mavs players attended the festivities.
“Seeing the guys in a different uniform and being able to see them in their suits and swag is great,” Kidd remarked. However, I believe that when you consider what the Mavs have accomplished in the community—just to be able to generate funds and give back—that the Mavs come first.
“To be able to have the sponsorships (Friday), to be able to mingle with the players (is great). When you talk about just not (Kyrie Irving) and Luka 
(Dončić), but they get to see everyone else. So, this is a great time for families to come together.”
Emerald City Band provided the live music for the fundraiser, while The Mentalist Oz Pearlman entertained the VIPs, Mavs fans and others on hand with various mind-boggling tricks, including surprisingly revealing one fan’s pin number on her bank card. He also shockingly told of the serial number of a $100 bill that belonged to Mavs forward Markieff Morris.
“It’s a great night,” Morris said. “Have some laughs and enjoy the community and just having a great night.”
Pearlman even had Mavs forward Maxi Kleber on stage and asked him what drink he was thinking about drinking. When Kleber said chocolate milk — likely thinking he would stump Pearlman — Pearlman opened up a can of soda, and out came some chocolate milk.
Indeed, it was a good time had by all.
“I think the fans show their love to the team, and the team shows it back,” Kleber said. “Over the years that I’ve been here, they’ve showed how much they care about society and about getting involved and giving back.”
Giving back to the community was the theme of the night. The Mavs are constantly reaching out and touching numerous communities in the DFW area in a very positive way, and Friday night’s extravaganza served as the franchise’s largest fundraiser of the year
