Mavs Interactive

With the Dallas Mavericks, who lost to the Heat in the NBA Finals in June, returning to AmericanAirlines Arena to play the Heat on Sunday, it seemed like a good time to mention Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s latest innovation.

The Mavericks have launched MavsWiki, a website that allows fans to add information on team history, records and individual games, along with reminiscenses and photographs. The site will be moderated and operates like Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that allows anyone to contribute facts and descriptions.

Said to be the first of its kind in professional sports, the site offers yet another way for fans to be connected to their team. It also doesn’t hurt that enthusiasm is high with the Mavericks holding the best record in the NBA.

“This site will provide fans a great way to share their Mavs experiences with us and other fans,” Cuban said in a team release. “It will also give new fans a chance to catch up on the history of the Mavs.”
