Eduardo Najera

Eduardo Najera is probably a pretty forgotten player for the Dallas Mavericks for anyone who wasn’t an avid fan right at the turn of the century, but he was a definite fan favorite during his time in Dallas.

Najera was drafted out of Oklahoma University in the 2000 NBA draft and made his debut with the Mavs that same year. Although he was not considered a skilled basketball player, he did enough of everything to give value to the Mavs.

Najera averaged only 4.7 points per game in his 5 seasons with Dallas and only 4.9 points in his career. He fouled hard and played harder in every game he played and the MFFLs adored him. He earned his spot in Mavs history, just not in the top 10.
