Meet The Women Who Impacted Dorian Finney-Smith’s life

As part of Women’s History Month each March, the Dallas Mavericks join the NBA to promote the values of equality and inclusion across the world. We especially champion and celebrate female pioneers in the game of basketball and the women who influenced the lives of our players. A person doesn’t make it to the NBA; their entire family does. It’s a lifelong pursuit of purpose and often requires a ton of sacrifice and perseverance by the entire family. For Mavs’ veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith, his journey to the NBA took decades to unfold and there are three main women who propelled him into destiny.
