Dallas Mavericks: Looking back at the unforgettable Tim Hardaway Jr. dunk

Dallas Mavericks: Looking back at an incredible dunk from Tim Hardaway Jr.

The Dallas Mavericks acquired Tim Hardaway Jr. as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade in 2019. Few saw him emerging as the Mavs third option, but Hardaway Jr. had one of the best seasons of his career. He improved his efficiency and helped Dallas finish with the top offense in the NBA.

Hardaway Jr. got the fans hyped on several occasions too. He had four 30-point games this season. There was also the night against the Kings in December where THJ did not miss. He connected on nine 3-pointers.

Fans do not normally associate Hardaway Jr. with monster dunks, but he produced one of the best ones of the Mavericks season. Let us take a look back at the incredible play.

The Mavs are celebrating their top ten moments of the 2019-2020 campaign. Hardaway Jr. made the list for his incredible poster on Jake Layman. Fans can see the thread here.

THJ had 23 points, four rebounds, and one steal to go along with the dunk as the Mavericks topped the Minnesota Timberwolves by 16 points back in February. The dunk certainly got everyone inside the American Airlines Center pumped up.

The focus now shifts to THJ’s player option. He can make $18.975 million next season playing in Dallas. Hardaway Jr. may opt to test the free-agent market, though. Fans can take an in-depth look at his upcoming decision here.

The move will have ripple effects on the Dallas Mavericks. They have cap space if Tim Hardaway Jr. opts out. The Mavs must explore other avenues to improve their roster with THJ back. The team wants him to return, but the decision is up to the 28-year-old wing. Stay tuned to see how it all shakes out this offseason.
