Hello Celebritys

The Mavs held their annual media day today as many NBA teams did before the tip off of training camp tomorrow. Coach Carlisle, Dirk, Jason Kidd, Jet, and Shawn Marion spoke with the media. You can hear all they had to say below.



I think one of the key points made, especially by the older, veteran players is that the team is fresh and rested. Dirk and Jason Kidd spoke about how they took some time off over the summer and their bodies are refreshed. These are two guys who normally play a lot of basketball in the offseason, but that was more limited this offseason, especially since there were no Olympics. I expect the team to have fresh legs and come out of the gate strong.



Another important point is having a healthy Josh Howard. The team recognizes what they can achieve with Josh on the floor, which was evident during the playoffs last season. Jason Kidd spoke in depth about getting Josh more involved and even calls him the teams X-Factor.



Shawn Marion is hilarious. Every person on the team describes him as a character and they are 100% accurate. He came sprinting into the interview room today talking about he was so fast we didn’t even see him!



Jason Terry had one of my favorite quotes when asked about the people sleeping on the Mavs. “If their asleep they are going to wake up quick.”
