He's a Mav for life. Provided much needed rebounding and defense that the team couldn't live without.
Agreed & agreed.

I wanted Matrix here for years -- always thought he'd be a perfect fit next to Dirk (also because he was the closest thing in the league to a "Dirk-stopper" at the time)... Not only did we eventually get him, but he played a crucial role in slowing down some of the best players in the history of basketball (Kobe, Durant, LeBron) on our way to winning a title.

I have no doubt that he lands in the Basketball Hall of Fame, but I'd also love to see his jersey hanging in the AAC rafters... Sure, he spent his peak years playing for Phoenix, but he was far more important to Dallas when his career was said and done.
