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 ending to a winning season, recording 23 sell-outs at Comerica Center in Frisco.
Led by Farmer and his innovative approach to engaging fans, the affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks was among the league leaders in attendance, 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 employees, 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.
