40 GoodLifeFamilyMag.com JULY | AUGUST 2019 Slam Dunk! The NBA G League named the Texas Legends as the Franchise of the Year, and Legends’ President and General Manager Malcolm Farmer scored the title of Team Executive of the Year, marking a perfect end- ing to a winning season, recording 23 sell-outs at Comerica Center in Frisco. Led by Farmer and his innovative approach to engaging fans, the af- filiate of the Dallas Mavericks was among the league leaders in atten- dance, media rights deals, and corporate sponsorships. “Winning Franchise of the Year is a tremendous honor as we enter our historic tenth season. It is a Team honor—and it is a testament to the hard work of all of our Legends team members including employ- ees, players, coaches, game day staff, interns, dancers, partners, season ticket members, and others.” The Legends is all about the ‘fun factor’ and includes family-friendly activities during the games, creating a non-stop party atmosphere.

We are using this year to say thank you to the fans and community for all the support over the years. Q: What has changed the most in the last decade since you launched? What has stayed the same?
