The Dallas Mavericks won the championship in 2011. With the organization recently celebrating the tenth anniversary and seemingly looking to “running it back” more or less with a collection of old faces from the title team in different roles, it seemed like the perfect time to revisit Bob Sturm’s book, This Year is Different: How the Mavs Won It All –The Official Story. In doing so, I found myself particularly intrigued by Tyson Chandler, not just as a player but as a leader and motivator.
