Jalen Brunson, Tim Hardaway Jr. help Mavs unveil NBA’s 75th anniversary court at local nonprofit

“I am so excited about what we are doing today,” said Mavs CEO Cynt Marshall. “This is more than just a court. This is the NBA celebrating 75 years of making a difference in people’s lives.”

Monday afternoon was a celebratory occasion that felt more like a summer festival than a formal ceremony.

The renovated basketball court at For Oak Cliff was shining so bright — literally — that the glossing from the hardwood reflected off the faces of youth gathered on the floor.

Even with some of the best basketball players in the world converged on stage, everyone knew it was really about the kids.
