Just want to thank you for highlighting key Mavs players like Lively and DJJ. Naturally, Luka and Kyrie get all the attention, but everyone on the team is playing high level basketball and, as a Mavs fan, i’m loving every second of it ❤

He’s doesn’t just have high IQ and athleticism, he’s emotionally mature far beyond his age. He lost his dad DL Lively the 1st when he was 8, has no brothers or sisters and his mom died a few weeks ago. The kid is in a new city, just lost the only family member he had left in the world and is balling tf out. RIP to his mom, she raised one hell of a kid.

DLive has been a revolution for Dallas. They went out and got a vet with the same skill set to make sure we have 48 minutes of this on the court. I'm so happy for this kid. His momma would be proud.

Nico deserves the GM of the Year Award. This move was one of the best moves made by an FO. Imagine suggesting your team to miss the playoffs, for a

Mavs winning the Finals

It's sad that Kathy won't be able to see her son be a champion as a rookie.

Mav’s v Celtics will be good.

Just wait for the Mavs to start letting him shoot threes. His jumper is smooth in shootaround videos

[@logarius2178]

Dlive is like a jojo stand, whenever Luka or Kai does something, he’s automatically rolling to the paint, either for a cleanup or a lob. A very good piece to the mavs

Lively is such an inspiration. Dude lost his mom to cancer and is still going strong at such an young age. He has been incredible for dallas. I wish him all the success in this world. Go mavs

WHAT IS THIS MAN’S CEILING?

[@9odfathr]

Lively been a dawg whole playoffs, he's gonna get the love he deserves soon... also rest in peace his mother that passed away last month.

I am a Laker fan so I havent really been following the Dallas season. But decided to start watching them in the post-season because I like Luka and Kyrie plus the Lakers got eliminated. I LITERALLY didnt know he was a rookie until yesterdays game. I was already impressed and asked myself, "who's that guy?"

[@phantoza2008]

we love derrick

[@nrzhersan]

it's very calming for us Mavs fans to witness a rookie playing so calmly in the playoffs, not to mention he's up against the so-called twin towers. this guy fears nothing and if he keeps going at this rate, no one can tell his ceiling.

[@ahmetfurkanoney1639]

one of the best underrated rookie of all time just imagine luka and lively are in prime together in the future

[@rohithssj3]

I love that some one is covering D live.

[@gintuner4371]

Man I love this Mavs team.

[@jjcometa9333]

I remember at the start of the season he was so awkward setting screens😂😂 now look at him. Dont forget he also can shoot.

[@iamchaunceman]

Good stuff. Hes 7’1, 235, has a 40 inch vert with a 7’7 wingspan. Mavs tanking that bulls game was another obvious move from Nico, now he looks brilliant. Without him Mavs would not be the WCF. And as he grows the Mavs get better. He also made 14 threes in a row in front of everyone on the klutch tryout events. Hes gonna be special. He already is special, he’s a savant like Luka and Kai and Kidd.
