The long offseason isn't over yet, and like the fans, the media reporters seem to have nothing to do. In order to pass the time, coupled with the needs of work, the media's favorite thing to do during this time is to conduct various rankings and data inventory.
Lone Ranger Best Five
The US media switchpoints listed the best five-man lineup of some teams, of course, the selection criteria are two legendary celebrities, plus three active players in the team, and because of the need to divide the field position, the so-called best five-man group does not actually represent the strongest players in the history of the team. In the Dallas Mavericks, the legendary stars on the list are Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, while the three active players are Luka Doncic, Hardaway Jr. and Christian Wood, who just arrived at the Mavericks this summer.
Nowitzki
Dirk Nowitzki has played for the Lone Ranger in his 21-year career, and with the addition of leading Dallas to the first championship trophy in team history, he can firmly occupy the first Lone Ranger with these two points. And even after retiring, Dirk Nowitzki cared deeply about the Lone Ranger and is now an advisor to the team, helping the Lone Ranger in a different way.

Jason Kidd is a bit of a love-hate affair, and while he helped the Lone Ranger win the championship in 2011, he has brought a lot of memories to the Lone Ranger fans at other times. For example, in 2012, Jason Kidd originally reached a verbal agreement with the Lone Ranger, and before the official signing, Jason Kidd chose to regret joining the Knicks, and the angry Cuban was furious, saying that he would not retire Jason Kidd's jersey in this life. Of course, time heals everything, and last summer Jason Kidd became the new Lone Ranger's head coach and led the team to a great record.
Doncic
Luka Doncic has been playing for the Lone Rangers since entering the league, and he has entered the league's best team three times in the first four years of his career, which is the number one superstar of the new generation. In addition to his personal data and accolades, Luka Doncic's ability to lead the team is also quite good, last season he led the Lone Ranger to break through the first round for the first time in 11 years, and also reached the Western Conference Finals.
Wood
The first three players are indisputable, and the other two are a bit of a surprise. Christian Wood only joined the Lone Rangers this summer and has spent the past two years with the Rockets, averaging 17.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists last season, and he will not turn 27 until the end of this month. This time Christian Wood can be on the list, on behalf of the outside world is very optimistic about him, but also shows that the strength of the Lone Ranger's interior line is indeed too general, Christian Wood is obviously the strongest. Of course, it can be recognized, and Christian Wood is also raising his eyebrows, expecting him to completely reverse the wind rating in the new season.
Hardaway
Compared with Christian Wood, Hardaway Jr.'s appearance on the list is even more controversial, bearing in mind that in the past 21-22 season, Hardaway Jr.'s performance has declined, and it has also been reimbursed in advance due to injury. In terms of ability and position, Spencer Dinwiddie is also eligible for the selection, in addition to Finney Smith's seniority, coupled with continuous improvement, there is no problem in making him on the list.
