Mavs Archives (formerly known as Forgotten Maverick) is a new Mavs history podcast dedicated to celebrating and sharing memories of nearly 40 years of Mavs basketball. Whether it’s hearing directly from former players or just reminiscing with guests about their own Mavs memories, this podcast offers MFFLs a combination of firsthand recollections of moments throughout franchise history and plenty of nostalgia for all.
In this episode we catch up with former Maverick Chris Anstey. An Australian Basketball legend, Chris came to the NBA at age 22 despite having never played basketball until he was nearly 18 years old. During our interview, Chris discusses many aspects of his basketball career. From how he got started, being a rookie in Dallas and adjusting to a new city and culture, the memorable March 1998 game in Dallas against Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, spending the 1998 NBA lockout working out with a young Steve Nash, his impressions of a young German rookie named Dirk Nowitzki in 1999, playing for the post Jordan Bulls, and more.
