Max Christie, the Dallas Mavericks guard, recently made an impression at the Mavs Academy Hoop Camp, engaging with around 135 young campers. He shared his NBA journey, highlighting that the day he was traded to the Mavericks marked a significant moment in his career. Acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers during a major trade that saw superstar Luka Doncic leave Dallas, Christie showcased his potential with averages of 11.2 points and 4.2 rebounds last season.

As he prepares for the upcoming NBA season, Christie expressed excitement about the Mavericks' roster, including the recent addition of D'Angelo Russell and the selection of top draft pick Cooper Flagg. He believes this roster is poised to make a significant impact in the Western Conference after a disappointing season overshadowed by injuries.
