- The Dallas Mavericks were directly involved in freeing a man from a 44 year prison sentence. One of their players confessed to Mark Cuban that his father should be out after rehabilitating himself but the way they did it is unbelievable.

What an incredible story. Very proud of Dorian and happy for his family.
How’s that “incredible” they literally used their influence to get a murderer out of prison.
@@pht9317 im guessing you didnt watch the video
@@biggestdish122 im guessing you haven’t done any research? Especially the fact he admitted to killing someone.
@@pht9317 basing from the story alone, wasn't the Smith's friend actually the one that pulled the trigger? Technically he did not actually kill someone but was an accessory to the murder. Now that still deserves sentencing but why is his so much longer than the one who actually pulled the trigger?
Lastly, surely the influence was a key factor to helping the convict out of prison but the deciding factor was still how the son presented himself. That's still a great feat nonetheless.
@@jeus_saaa no it wasn’t, you made that up. All documentation stats Elbert Smith Jr was responsible for the murder which he himself admits to and there is no question of guilt or innocence. Again you proved my point about how elitist influences set a cold blooded murderer free. His son story has nothing to do with the fact a murderer got set free while the victims family still grieve. Go read the court documents on the case, he’s shouldn’t see the light of day again.
I love when you do these player background videos. You're the only one I see do these consistently. Really humanizes the players. Thanks!
Agreed.
Also, best editing and presentation.
Glad you like them!
@@AMHoopsare you going to do season predictions for this season?
Agreed watch him everyday
AGREED 🔥
Respect to the Mavericks staff for showing up for him.
@@Westbrook112 Wdym? Also Westbrook is my favorite player
@@dexter6052 ok we can be friends I was feeling down from all of the Westbrook hate
@@Westbrook112 lol yeah, but don't worry, he will show up big time next season
Showing up for murderers deserves respect now? You kids smh
@@pht9317he served nearly 30 years and missed the entirety of his Sons life
I was sad when the Mavs traded him. But I understand the move. I miss DFS.
Dorian's life could be a movie but noone would believe its a true story
Definitely rooting for his continued success
It's always amazing that an undrafted player makes it to the league, carves out a decent career and turns his life and family around like this.
It is, but it is equally surprising when such an obviously made NBA role player like DFS doesn't get drafted because he was considered a late first round pick in some Mocks.
Ima Mavs fan, and I watch every game, and during a postgame interview with Luka where Dorian had a great game as well, Luka told the interviewer that he hopes to have Dorian as a teammate for the rest of his career. Luka has never shout out a teammate like that, that's love and Luka treated Dorian like family.
Dorian will forever be a Maverick, I hope he comes back
We’ll treat em well in Brooklyn
I bet he'd come back as a free agent if Dallas has a place for him at the time.
@@seanyyk___4774No y'all won't. We already rescued Kyrie. There's never been a super team broken up so fast. 😅 No matter how BK treats him, NO TEAM treats their players better than the Mavs so he'll be back. All former Mavs/Cowboys make Dallas their home no matter where they're from. This is Seth Curry's 3rd stint with us as evidence. Oh 😮, what team did he just leave? 😅
I can’t be only one who shed a few tears, what a guy Dorian is😢
I was thinking the same thing. 😅
Not at all, I have a brother in jail for a murder that would be self-defense in most states not named Colorado after a drunk guy attacked him while he was holding his gun, he shot him once in self-defense and was sentenced to 44 years in prison. Man, what I wouldn't do to be able to pull strings to get him out.
It's a shame you have to amass this much support and power to clear up injustices. I'm so glad they were able to get Dorian's Dad out of prison. My heart goes out to all those people not fortunate enough to have the full might of an NBA team and a billionaire on their side.
i’ve been loving this series of interesting player stories, keep it up 🙏
Thanks, will do!
DFS: "I have money. Release my Dad."
Mavs: "We have money, too. Release his Dad."
Parole Board: Sounds good.
Nice that they got his dad out so he can enjoy his life…..Now why don’t they see what they can do to help the murder victim enjoy his life too.
Hell of a story.
We're all rooting for this guy.
As Mavs fan this was very touching story. DFS was always the most hardworking player from being undrafted to a starting lineup next to Luka and the best defender when he was in Dallas. I'm happy when he got the contract from Dallas and he so much deserved it for sure will be staying in the league for long. This story shows it's more about basketball we hope to see DFS in a Mavs jersey again.
Props to you on sharing this sad but triumphant story, and esp for citing the main source. Everyone on TH-cam steals content as their own so it’s very honorable of you to give that reporter his well earned credit!! MFFL 👍🏻
Legit shed tears watching this. Another reason why I absolutely love the Mavs organization!
Salute to you for the compassion you show in these backstories
Love ur videos brother keep it up ✊🏼
Thank you! Will do!
Him having a child at 16 while accepting the responsibilities is an amazing thing. Not a bad thing at all.
It makes sense he had a kid one year after his friend was killed in front of him. A smart man would have left the streets to spend more time with their girl.
@@Byronic19134 Crazy that a 15 year old needs to be a man in modern times... society should be way past that...
Thanks for sharing this story❤
Now imagine all the people wrongly locked up who have no celebrity or financial privileges who just have to rot in jail.
Blame your "freedom" filled country for having the worst justice system and worst press freedom in the modern western world. Your entire govt keeps you under its thumb like sheep, but because you're allowed your guns you all think you're so free despite being the most oppressed and having the least lack of access to justice, healthcare and education compared to the vast majority of Europe. God bless Murica, every day I thank my family for moving to Austria instead of the USA lmao. Third world ass country masquerading as a first world one.
This is the off-season videos we need🎉 keep it up!
Amazing story! Thank you for sharing!!
Awesome to hear stories like this. Thank you!

Great stories. Keep producing them.
It’s amazing when people show the beauty of community… This is an amazing story.
thanks for sharing these types of players stories, the behind the scenes, it's unique and inspirational and that majes you different from other channels
Beautiful story, thanks for spreading it
Thank you so much for sharing this! I've always been a DFS fan but this story takes it to the next level. Great content! Keep up the good work!
Awesome video, even better story. Dorian is a real one for this
This is an amazing story. Casey this is the best video youve posted

Omg. Your video made me cry 😭
Amazing video! DFS has always been one of my favorite players and now one of my favorite people!
Good job putting in effort into this video fam. It shows. Watched every single minute 10/10
this was an amazing video and amazing article. i never knew he was going through something like this and im glad to hear everything went good at the parole hearing. gonna be rooting for dfs this season !
What an f'n great video... nicely done, Casey.
Well done! Great story. These videos are what makes me love your channel. Please, make more of these videos!
We get so caught up in trading drama and the competitiveness between teams that sometimes we overlook basketball being a way to change certain people’s lives and have amazing opportunities.
Thank you for covering player stories and these sides of basketball we normally wouldn’t see. Incredible story and I wish Dorian and his family all the best
Honestly many, many more than certain people's lives. They contribute a huge amount to society philanthropically.
When Harden and Lil Baby meet up, ATL's GDP probably rises a few percentage points, as well as more educated women in the workplace 😂
Best video you've dropped so far brotha and you've dropped a lot of great content. This was absolute 🔥
So when you get generational wealth your family gets a pardon.
Hell of story, very proud of Dorian and happy for his family
Fantastic story, Casey❤
Amazing, thank you for the inspirational video
Great story. Good content
I enjoy your videos. They're informative and entertaining. Keep it up.
great share! nice to see there are more than business in NBA!
Great video!
GREAT VIDEO.. more like this please...
Keep up these vids man. Genuinely some of the most consistent best videos I watch, like you said specifically in the off-season when most youtubers tend to recycle their same content
As a Mavs and Doe Doe can, this almost brought a tear to my eye. So happy for him!!
Fantastic video, please do more of these. W Mavs organization
Youre my favourite ball reporter for keeping it interesting and touching
Great video bro 👍

Great video
Fire vid, look forward to your videos every week
Appreciate that
Long time watcher, this one made me hit that subscribe button.
Loved this one, wild stuff all the way around
Oh it always makes my day when he uploads🙂
This is crazy, did not know this man been through all that, happy for him and his family that he is in a great place in the NBA right now.
I don't appreciate your takes on Harden but I def appreciate videos like this. Thank you.
Wow, I did not expect this. Go Dorian and Dad! I don't know them, but I'm sure cheering for them. Hope they can face life as a real team now.
When you first see the story on random social media you just think, "Of course. The rich & powerful can obviously pull some strings." However after hearing the whole story you really start to question our judicial system (if you haven't already.) How can a man pull the trigger, kill a guy, take a plea to probably incriminate his friend that was riding with him, and then the guy who didnt commit murder get a sentence 6x as severe...
You're obviously good at your craft A.M. cause this even pulled on my heart strings.
Didn’t know this about DFS, I’ll be rooting for him for the rest of his career.
best youtube video i watched in a while
Love your vids
Man, that ones made me tear up
imagine the first game he watch him live, chills
Hell yeah!!! One of my favorite players too haha I said the Hell Yeah! out loud when you said that... people around me got scared 😅
This is why I'm subscribed.
Wonderful, wonderful story, go Dorian…
Dam. This made me tear up. I miss my old man
Incredible story. Always love Dorian. Shame that he was traded to Nets
Really hope he will stay as Mavs for life
I don't know how they let the gunman who actually murdered somebody out before him. At most his father should have been charged as an accomplice. It should not have carried a 44-year sentence. That is absolutely disgusting.
As a lawyer in another jurisdiction who has done comparative law studies, the USA has the worst common law in the entire world. The prevalence of ridiculous plea deals and elaborate grand juries makes your system so complex and open to abuse. Prosecutors also pick and choose when they want to use their discretion to seek charges at many times refusing to do so based on links to their own interests or politics. There is no tripartite separation of powers and therefore no proper rule of law, especially when your rule of law is based on a terrible fundamentally flawed constitution which you idiots will die defending it seems. There is an extortionately high barrier to entry in terms of access to justice as well since legal fees are the highest in the world and legal aid is virtually non-existent for several criminal and civil areas. In essence the US justice system lacks access to justice for all, lacks a fair and transparent system where the judiciary is separate from the organs of government and the systems in place are inherently broken and cannot administer justice fairly.
@@halwa9528What? Which country are you from?
As a mavs fan I dearly miss DODO and wish him nothing but the best. Hopefully he wears a mavs jersey again.
