Well, I think you might be taking the conversation more seriously than it was intended, but I DO like DFS. A lot.
I'm obviously familiar with Blackman and Harper, but they were before my time as a fan. I came in about a year before Cuban bought the team. I love Finley, Harris, Howard and a hundred other Mavs.
I just love me some DFS. Worked his way up from undrafted to the leading minute-player on a playoff team, and one of its most crucial players. Never complains about anything, just plays hard. As @"cow" said, he's just an easy player to root for.

Cato said Timmy was going to get 4/80 from another team. So I guess we got a discount if we believe his report of what he was told.

I'm a little mad at the Mavs for this, but I can't be mad at Timmy after hearing he turned down more $$$ to stay with us.

I am not sure Timmy would be the one hurt you know with THJ having to stand on Zion's shoes and all...

I like underdogs a lot. If I wasn't a German who grew up in Fort Worth, Dirk probably...who am I kidding, even if Dirk wasn't a goat, I'd love him because he's one of the nicest super star pro athletes of all time. I like Tyson because Cuban did him dirty twice and I really don't like Cuban. He was also the 2nd biggest reason we won that chip. JJ is the ultimate underdog is his relief efforts for his home country are amazing. DFS is just my favorite current Mav. He's a good kid who works his ass off to maximize his potential. He's also great at cursing on broadcast and on-the-fly AV repair. I'm not sure where he'd be on my all-time Mavs list, but he is number four for this conversation so I can win the fight with KL.

One of my favorites was Erick Strickland

Is it suddenly cool not to like Luka?
If so, I'll stay outside of that clique, tyvm.

Nah, I just like his picks. It's an interesting group that only a true Mavs fan would compile, no? I'm sure @"fifteenth" loves Luka!

First, not trying to be cool! Ro was my fave when I was like 15 to 17 years old. Then Fin was my fave when I felt like I was the only Mavs fan on the planet. Then DFS became my fave because of his work to go from undrafted to what he is now. And it WAS NOT cool at all when I started saying that it was time for DFS to start and the whole forum was saying I was crazy.
But here's the deal. That's my FAVORITE list, not my LOVE list. Notice I just have one player per era in FAVES.
Want my LOVE list? The lets add
Harp
Tarp
Big Smooth < almost a fave
Jimmy Jackson
Mash
Chris Gatling < I konw, what can I say, I'm a Mavs fan
Strick
Anstey
Nash
Nick the Quick
JET
JJB
The whole Finishing Five
Vince
THJ
Luka
And that list probably isn't complete. I just rushed through it. And they're not all on the same love level.
If it helps....Luka is just below DFS on the love level. *shrug*
I mean, that means I love Luka LOTS

JJB has to go on the FAVE list
I've just created a JJB era in my mind, his second stint, when the JJB lead second unit was our only source of joy, and when old man JJB had some of the best, most insane games of his career, leading that YMCA teams to some wins.

Not being a favorite doesn't mean we don't like Luka.
