The Greatest Maverick (that isn’t American Born, who’s last name starts with a “N” and ends in a vowel) EVER

I haven’t always been a Mavs fan. In fact, when I was younger I wasn’t much of a sports fan at all! My mom was one of 4 daughters of an OB/GYN. She never played sports but still has a face shield and a foil in the garage from the ONE semester of fencing she took at Boston College. My dad was from NYC and played hockey at Boston University and grew up loving Mickey Mantle and the Yankees. I grew up in Austin where we didn’t have a whole lot of rinks that didn’t end in “mall” to go hit the ice and so hockey never really took off for me.
