In the early 90s, the NBA witnessed the rise of the Dallas trio - Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson, and Jamal Mashburn - who became the focus of attention for the Mavericks at the time. Known as the "3J" or "Three Musketeers," their combination was quite cool. Let's rewind to 1992, a year when most readers might not have been born yet.

However, the duo of Jackson and Mashburn began to show their potential, both averaging over 19 points per game. Then, in the 1994 draft, Kidd from the University of California was selected by the Mavericks with the second overall pick.

In their first season together, the Mavericks achieved a record of 36 wins and 46 losses, which was still not high, but they had won 23 more games than the previous year.

At the end of the season, Kidd…
