Take a trip down to "Big D" and step On the Hardwood with the Dallas Mavericks, in this officially licensed NBA team book. In 2011, the Dallas Mavericks joined an elite fraternity as they entered the NBA pantheon as champions. In On the Hardwood: Dallas Mavericks, we see this rise to prominence under the ownership of Mark Cuban, and thanks to the scoring ability of Dirk Nowitzki. But the road to glory wasn't a straight one. This title takes us through the roller-coaster in Dallas before winning became a mainstay. Well examine their championship tussle with the Miami Heat and everything that lead them to that special point in time. The 2011 championship marked the culmination of a franchise which chooses to do things the right way, and treats their players accordingly.
