The Mavericks are no strangers to esports, being one of the first NBA teams to field a team in the NBA 2K league.

While we don’t know for sure whether the video will be used during a game, this is one of the first times any professional team outside of Overwatch League has produced such a great crossover video.

The video features the starting lineup of the Dallas Mavericks doing hilarious highlight intros, before cutting to in-game shots of the athletes, like power forward Dirk Nowitzki as Soldier: 41, complete with Overwatch special effects.

According to thankstowlie, Luka Dončić of the Mavericks is a big Overwatch fan and really wanted to do the Hanzo highlight intro for the video, but since Wesley Matthews does a bow action after he makes a basket, Dončić got stuck with Junkrat.

The name of the video: Maverwatch, fits perfectly and the branding throughout is spot on which really ties the whole thing together.
