Why the Mavs have Hot Cheerleaders

I would never say the Mavs have the best cheerleaders (ok, dancers, whatever) in pro sports; however, as evidenced by the picture and video below they can certainly compete with almost any team. So where do the Mavs find their talent? As evidenced by an email I received from them the other day...off the street.

Subject: Dancer Auditions

Attention all ladies! Want to be part of the hottest dance team in the NBA? If you are a high school graduate, at least 18 years old, energetic and love to perform in front of large crowds - the Mavs want YOU to tryout to be a part of the Dallas Mavericks Dancers.

Auditions will be held on Sat., Aug. 11 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel.

Also, don't forget to take advantage of the prep classes being offered at the Dallas Power House of Dance.

I guess, when you're openly inviting everyone in the 8th largest city in the United States, you're bound to end up with hot cheerleaders. We should tell the Orlando Magic should follow suit.

Maybe that's why that despite being ousted embarrassingly early in the 2007 playoffs by the run-and-gun Warriors, the Mavericks had one of the highest season ticket renewal rates ever - and I remain stuck on the waitlist. Say what you want about Mark Cuban, but everything he touches turns to gold (except the Benefactor). Perhaps more fans should look to him as a role model instead of the athletes.
