Samaki Walker breaks down the truth behind the Dallas Mavericks’ Three J’s era, the Toni Braxton fallout, and the moment the team realized Jason Kidd was gone — setting the stage for a young Dirk Nowitzki to rise.
In this conversation with Byron Scott, Samaki takes us inside the drama, personalities, and pressure that defined one of the most talent-heavy but turbulent teams of the late ’90s. He shares what really happened between Kidd, Jackson, and Mashburn, why the Toni Braxton storyline mattered inside the locker room, and how those events redirected the franchise toward Dirk. Along the way, Samaki reflects on entering the NBA through the iconic 1996 Draft, learning under Don Nelson, and watching Dirk develop the style that would reshape the modern game.
