Klay Thompson made one of the biggest moves of the NBA offseason when he left the Golden State Warriors to sign with the Dallas Mavericks. Mavs fans are very excited about the addition, as he is one of the best players in NBA history and is coming to a team that reached the Finals last season.

Klay Thompson, J.J. Barea and Steve Nash were some of the notable names at the NBA Hall-of-Famer’s event in North Dallas.

However, one of the most feel-good stories of the early 2000s occurred in Dallas. Nowitzki and Nash's emergence as All-Stars catapulted the Mavs to contender status for the first time since the Mavs made the Western Conference Finals in 1988 against the Magic Johnson-led Lakers.

All proceeds from the event benefitted Nowitzki’s foundation which focuses on helping children through programs aimed toward wellbeing, health and education.
