Dallas Mavericks supporters can enjoy the team’s top ten dunks from the 2018-2019 season here in celebration of NBA Dunk Week.

Dallas Mavericks fans should look at the 2018-2019 season as a turning point. The team missed the playoffs for the third straight year, but they went from rebuilding to growing. The trades to acquire Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis gave the Mavs two young building blocks, and hopes of contending in the near future.

The team also improved to 33 wins despite not having Porzingis play a single game. Doncic’s historic rookie season was a massive reason why. The organization is excited to see what steps forward the Mavericks can make in the coming year.

The team produced plenty of must-see highlights during the 2018-2019 season. As the NBA celebrates Dunk Week, here is a look at the Mavs top-ten from the year.

Watching Luka Doncic dunk his way to the number one spot flashes me back to a year ago. He was the third overall pick, but the knock was his athletic ability. Experts wonder if Doncic would be able to get to the rim. They questioned his defense as well.

Luka answer those critics and more in his first year. He is now trending towards superstar status.

The Dallas Mavericks have the opportunity to accomplish a similar feat in the 2019-2020 season. Analysts doubt their chances to make the playoffs after the Mavs failed to make a significant splash in free agency. The addition of 2018 All-Star KP plus plugging a few roster holes will create an improved product on the court. The Mavericks could prove everyone wrong and be a playoff team in 2020.

Porzingis can be the perfect complement to Luka Doncic. Next

Fans should expect plenty of highlights as well. The Doncic and Porzingis pick and roll will be impossible to stop. Both men have a handful of ways to get a bucket out of that action. Defenders will have to choose between the dreadful options next season. The top ten dunks were fantastic, and should only improve.
