The 2017-18 Dallas Mavericks regular season starts tonight! Here is everything you need to know about this team as the games start rolling.
1. Zwanzig
Zwanzig is how you say "twenty" in German, the number you will hear most throughout the season because that is how many seasons Dirk Nowitzki will have played when this year is in the books. Nowitzki, of course, has played every minute of the past twenty NBA seasons in a Mavericks jersey.
"I mean, 20 is unbelievable. I never thought, obviously, when I was coming into the league that I could play 20 years," Nowitzki said.
