Dwight Howard Mavericks Video: Mark Cuban Shares Animated Clip Used To Lure Center

This Cartoon Did Not Convince Dwight Howard To Sign With Mavs

The Dallas Mavericks were one of the teams that met with Dwight Howard to try and persuade him to sign as a free agent. A month after that meeting -- and just a few weeks after Mark Cuban said the Mavs are in a "better spot" than they would be by signing Howard to a max deal -- the Dallas owner revealed what the team did to lure Howard.

In a post he wrote on Blog Maverick on Saturday, Cuban shared an animated video with a comic book-theme that was used in the team's pitch to Howard.

Let me address here the inevitable question of Dwight vs Mavs culture. We saw it as somewhat of a risk, but felt like because Dwight by all appearances and checking we did, is a good guy and with our support systems we believed we could make it work. if not, he was obviously a very trade-able asset. But, as everyone knows, we didn’t sign him. He went to the Rockets. I do have to say the meeting with Dwight was very interesting. He is a smart guy. Much smarter than people give him credit for. He is also a very, very good listener. Unlike most people, he spent far more time listening than talking. And he had the best response to an opening question that I have ever heard from a player, or anyone for that matter. When we asked him what his goal was, his response was very specific ” I want to be Epic” . Which was a perfect lead in to the video we created for him
