With the number 51 pick in the 2008 NBA draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected guard/forward Shan Foster from Vanderbilt University. The Mavericks have also acquired 2-time NBA Champ Tyronn Lue in addition to relieving Avery Johnson of his coaching duties to be replaced by Rick Carlisle. Despite winning the Coach of the Year Award in 2006, Avery Johnson couldn't provide the NBA Championship that the Mavs have long coveted but never won, which resulted in his dismissal. With a new head coach and high expectations, ticket sales for the Dallas Mavericks are increasing as the 2008-2009 season gets underway.

The Dallas Mavericks were created in 1980 as an NBA expansion team to fill the void in Dallas left after the Dallas Chaparrals moved to San Antonio in 1973 to eventually become the San Antonio Spurs. The "Mavericks" name was chosen in a write-in contest by fans, although "Wranglers" and "Express" were also highly considered options. In ironic payback fashion, the Mavericks would upset the San Antonio Spurs in their first game in the NBA. In their relatively short franchise history, the Mavericks have had the success of playing several great players such as Hall of Fame forward Adrian Dantley, 2007 MVP forward Dirk Nowitzki, and All-Star point guards Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. The Dallas Mavericks' illustrious franchise accomplishments include fourteen playoff appearances, two division titles, one conference title, and one NBA Championship appearance. Although starting their franchise play at Reunion Arena, the Dallas Mavericks currently play at the American Airlines Center, where ticket sales have been high since the move in 2001.
