Mavs’ Dāvis Bertāns and JaVale McGee surprise some Dallas ISD students

The event occurred at John Lewis Social Justice Academy at Oliver Wendell Holmes to mark the Mavs’ yearly donation to Dallas ISD. The franchise provided 20,000 clear backpacks and other school supplies for students across the district.

“This is part of our commitment to youth and education around DISD and we’re so happy to give back,” said Mateo Means, Dallas Mavs community relations coordinator. “We just love our educators and giving back to our students and teachers is so important to the Mavs.”

McGee, a three-time NBA champion and Olympic gold medalist, says he’s thrilled to be back in the Dallas community.
