Over the years, there have been a lot of point guards that have run the show for the Dallas Mavericks and in this article, we will take a look at the top three.
The Dallas Mavericks are one of the powerhouses in the NBA Western Conference. They currently sit in 6th place in the Western Conference standings and are having an up and down season so far. They have added Kyrie Irving to their already stacked roster and with the help of Luka Doncic, they will look to mount a serious threat to the Golden State Warriors and win the NBA title for the first time since 2011.
With Luka Doncic now running the show for Dallas, it is fair to say that he will go down as one of the best point guards of all time. If he ends up staying with the Mavs for a long time like his European counterpart Dirk Nowitzki, Luka will definitely surpass him. Such is the kind of quality the former Real Madrid player has.

Undoubtedly, the greatest point guard to ever play for the Dallas Mavericks, Jason Kidd wowed crowds at the American Airlines Center for six seasons over two different spells. Known for his tenacious play and excellent playmaking skills, Kidd was an elite player. His first spell was from 1994 to 1996 and then his second spell was from 2008 to 2012. And it was during his second spell that he helped the Mavs to win the NBA title. He also made five All-Star appearances while playing in Texas. He is currently the head coach for the Mavs and his story with the franchise looks set to continue for a while.
Steve Nash was one of the most gifted point guards in NBA history and he was known for his playmaking and shotmaking. He played six seasons for the Mavs and during that time was named league MVP twice. He was in sync with his teammates and was a very unselfish player and because of that, his teammates loved playing with him.
Devin Harris was one of the few point guards in the NBA that just dominated his opponents with speed. Like Jason Kidd, Harris played for Mavs over two different spells. His first one was from 2004 to 2008 and his second one from 2013 to 2018. He was known for his athleticism and was a great shooter from the three point line.
