Here I was thinking last night that my dream goal was to somehow get 1,000 views over the course of this video's history and we are currently at 2k and counting just within the 1st night alone....Absolutely mindblown and happy all at once and that's all thanks to you guys! And the support has also been above and beyond my expectations! Much love and God bless! 🙏❤️ Edit: Over 8k....yeah that's just insane. 10k soon? Don't forget to follow my Mavs fan page if you haven't already for more MFFL content on insta! (Link on the profile page of the channel) 🙂

they raised a great young man. RIP Kathy & Dereck.

RIP Kathy!! D Live is that guy I could have never imagined he would be so good as a rookie. Heres to hoping he has a great career with the Mavs!!

ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS I’VE EVER WATCHED !!! CONGRATULATIONS! LOVE THE MAVS, LIVELY AND MY RESPECTS TO KATHY (.R I P )

Lively has developed so fast it's crazy. I'm so glad he got to have a great rookie season that his mom got to watch.

I was thinking that too. It was very unfortunate that she passed away very early into his career but she thankfully did get to see her boy become a star that every fan in the stadium yelled and cheered for. That's honestly the most you can ask for and she got to see it happen.

The idea that he could win a championship makes me tear up every time. You know he’s just gonna fall apart after winning and he has every right.

Cant help but tear up thinking how amazing he played for her knowing the time she had left. He shattered her expectations and rested peacefully knowing her son was in good hands

yo, i cried man. proud dereck's mom on that last action. 😢

Those defensive stops are insane. This rook is fearless. Hope they win the title this year!

Same! As soon as I saw that first dunk, I knew Dallas had someone special. So happy we drafted him

He has been instrumental this season. Sky is the limit for him, he's still just a kid, it's astonishing that a rookie has that kind of an impact on a legit contender. I wish him only the best, not only cause I'm a Mav, but also because it's what he deserves after all he went through.

Dude just catches anything around the basket & turns it into a dunk. Lobs, rebounds, deflections, whatever. If it gets to the paint on the offensive end, he's claiming it.

Lively is a super player. His mother made an excelent man😢😢😢

WOW!!! What an AMAZING video!!! Couldn’t hold back the tears. Can’t stop watching it!!

Happy for Lively! It's crazy that a player his height possesses the athleticism and mobility he has. He truly is a great steal and draft pickup. I'm excited to see how he grows as a Mav! Fellas, we got ourselves a true big man! :)

One of the most enyojable rookies, i have witnessed during all my years watching the NBA! Dallas needs you! Greetings from your fans from germany!

From Dominican Republic we enjoy with DM and our favorite rockie player

Thank you so much for this. D-Live seems like a great kid, and he is a wonderful player. Remember before the season; we all thought he was our Five of the future, but we didn’t even know if he would play this year. He’s been a big reason for the Mav’s success.

That is true. And people misunderstand why we brought Gafford in. It didn't undermine his talent at all, we just simply needed a more thorough rotation for when Lively wasnt playing. And now we arguably have one of the better center rotations in the league. With both being at such a young age too! Lively is still just as pivotal to the future of the Mavericks even with Gafford as the starter

Heartwarming,... dereck will be one of the best centers in NBA,

And now he is in the NBA Finals as a Rookie. I hope Dalles will win vs Celtics

What a video, thank you for blessing us mavs fans with this masterpiece

Very good video, I also felt my emotions being stirred up. Thanks Go Mavs

He really lives up to that last name🚀

From France: incredible kid! I wish him all the strength and force to overcome what he went through…Basketball is a relief and medicine sometimes, so happy for him, Kye take care of this young man!

Great heart you have, thanks for this emotional video. Hope this kid can overcome the lost of his parents as such young age., then he will be a Monster. Dereck lively II, your brothers and sisters love you!! Lets go MAVS!! MAVS are your family forever!!

An old school big man type.. very efficient inside the paint.. knows how to operate underneath the basket.. very good at positioning.. i love how he plays the game.. this kid is very good for me

@ElectricToucan

Call me old school but I think teams and GMs have really dismissed the impact that an old school defensive big could have on a roster as opposed to these wacky hybrid offensive freaks at the 5 position in this guard-and shooting-inflated era of basketball. People forget that the priority for any true big is to protect the rim, grab boards, and be the last line of defense when no one else is able to play as physical. We are seeing that now with Lively II. AND he just broke a NBA HISTORIC RECORD for highest +/- in a playoff series by a rookie at +71 vs OKC. And now he's at +87 in TOTAL in the postseason and +19 in his first game against one of the most historically greatest defenses against Minnesota in Game 1. AND HE'S JUST A ROOKIE AT 20 YEARS OLD! He can't even drink alcohol 😂 In other words, no OTHER word describes him better than...IMPACT

First time I saw this trade to Dallas, I was like, they found their next Tyson Chandler

What’s crazy is that lively was what the thunder needed against Dallas these playoffs. Chet wasn’t enough. They asked Holmes to play offense, defense, and get rebounds for a whole series 😅

I mean Chet is still great for OKC, but they really fumbled taking Wallace over Lively. That's for certain

If he knows how to Skyhook…. And Hakeem’s footwork…. Anyway, eat healthy, live healthy and he will go far.
