Who is the Mavericks fan, and where did it come from?
Myles Turner is the NBA player tied to the Mavericks here. The line comes from The Player's Tribune, which carries the words "We were Mavericks fans." The fandom is reported, not confirmed: the outlet published it, and nothing shows Turner as the one speaking, so it should not be read as something he said in his own words.
Nothing ties Turner to the Dallas Mavericks beyond the Player's Tribune line. No birthplace, hometown, high school or list of career stops is given, so there is no local or playing-history link to draw.
