Why Naji Marshall Thinks He Needs to Earn His Contract Extension | Mavs Media Day Interview

Dallas Mavericks wing Naji Marshall explains why his new contract extension only put his back against the wall and made him work harder heading into the 2026-27 NBA season. What makes Kyrie Irving such a unique leader for the Mavs, and how did Cooper Flagg adjust so quickly as a 19-year-old rookie? Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris sit down with Naji Marshall at Mavs Media Day to talk about his journey from an undrafted two-way player with the New Orleans Pelicans to a multi-year deal in Dallas. Naji names the Mavs' best perimeter defender between himself, PJ Washington, and Caleb Martin, and says he'll play any role, even center. He also takes us inside the team event at Kyrie Irving's house in LA and explains why he's still warming up to anime.
