Fans of the Dallas Mavericks got a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, when the organization hosted a free open practice at the American Airlines Center. The event was presented by ESPN Dallas 103.3.

Teams across the NBA  hod similar sessions in order to continue the growth of the league and allow fans to gain up-close and personal encounters with their favorite teams and players. The unique, league-wide initiative also seeks to reach those fans who might not be able to afford similar access at home games during the season.
