Five Mavericks made the list of the top 25 players since 2000

CBS Sports recently released a list of the 25 best players from the last 25 years:

LeBron James clocks in at number one, and Russell Westbrook sneaks on at 25. In between them, five Mavericks players appear, with Dirk Nowitzki leading the pack at number 10. Head coach Jason Kidd and Anthony Davis both cracked the top 20, ranked 17th and 19th, respectively. Luka Doncic is ahead of Kidd at 17, and Steve Nash is just in front of him at 14. In a lot of ways, these five players have been the defining quintet when you talk about the biggest storylines for Dallas over the last quarter-century.
