The video was titled: "2011 Dallas Mavericks Road to The NBA Finals."

Thompson is coming off a season where he averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range in 77 games.
While he is no longer a star player, the future Hall of Famer is expected to complement Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving in a big way.
The five-time NBA All-Star also brings a lot of experience to the Mavs, as he made the Finals six times (and won four titles).

The Mavs finished last year as the fifth seed in the Western Conference with a 50-32 record.
They reached the NBA Finals for the first time since the 2011 season when Dirk Nowitzki was still on the roster.
