Fun Story of a Mavs Fan


Our friends Dustin and Lyn moved 14 months ago to be missionaries in Thailand. They are big Mavs fans and it was killing Dustin to be in Thailand while the Mavs are in the Finals. Dustin made this video and sent it to Mark Cuban to try to persuade Mark to buy him a plane ticket to go to the game. Mark emailed back but said that he couldn't help. :(

At this point, I would have given up, but not Dustin. He managed to sell his season tickets to the game and buy cheaper ones to games 3,4, and 5. The really neat thing is that he made $1300 on the tickets and found a flight from Thailand to Dallas for $1300. He landed an hour and half before game 3 started. So his great adventure has been funded by his ticket sells.

I love that his wife was like sure, go to America to watch some b-ball. Dustin travelled 36 hours and 9000 miles to cheer on the Mavs. They better appreciate it and win!
