Christian Wood helps Mavs Academy celebrate final week of camp, says he’s ‘counting his blessings’

Ben Hunt, who directs the Dallas Mavericks’ arm of youth basketball, said it has been a remarkable few months.

The Mavs’ late playoff push meant the franchise jumped straight into summer camps without any break, unlike previous seasons. The Mavs Academy also hosts dance and gaming camps each summer.

“We started on May 31 in Keller and Richardson and are finishing up our 33rd camp of the summer here at Collin College in Plano,” said Hunt, a former collegiate and professional basketball player.

“Our Mavs Academy team and coaches are very fortunate to have the opportunity to positively impact thousands of campers all over the Metroplex through basketball, dance and esports.
