Timeline

1973

Michael Howard Finley (born March 6, 1973) is an American former professional basketball player who is the Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

1991

Finley attended Proviso East High School in Maywood, Illinois, graduating in 1991.

In Finley's senior season, Proviso East won the 1991 IHSA class AA boys basketball tournament, and Finley was named to the all-tournament team.

Finley's teammates, known collectively as the "Three Amigos", included future NBA draftees Sherrell Ford and Donnie Boyce.

In response to winning the state championship, Finley was invited to travel to Deerfield, Illinois, where he played against Michael Jordan in a game of H-O-R-S-E and a 1-on-1 game to three points.

Jordan H-O-R-S-E and won the game of 1-on-1 three to one.

Both games were recorded and broadcast on a sporting chance segment for WBBM CBS Chicago.

1995

He played 15 seasons in the NBA, predominantly with the Mavericks, but also for the Phoenix Suns (who drafted him in 1995), the San Antonio Spurs, and the Boston Celtics.

Finley was named to the 1995–96 NBA All-Rookie First Team and finished third in Rookie of the Year voting after averaging fifteen points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

He became only the third rookie in Suns history to score over 1,000 points in a season.

Despite playing all 82 games in his rookie season, Finley was injured on the final day of regular season and did not play in the playoffs.

1996

He was traded by the Suns on December 26, 1996 to the Dallas Mavericks along with Sam Cassell, A.C. Green and a second-round draft pick for Jason Kidd, Tony Dumas and Loren Meyer.

Finley flourished in Dallas.

In his first season with the Mavericks, Finley led the team in scoring, assists and steals.

Along with point guard Steve Nash and forward Dirk Nowitzki, he became an integral part of the Mavericks' late '90s "run and gun" offense.

2000

In 2000, he was selected to represent the Western Conference in the 2000 All-Star Game, in which he scored eleven points.

2001

On January 23, 2001, Finley tied an NBA record by recording eight steals in one half of a game.

In 2001, he was again selected to represent the Western Conference on All-Star weekend.

2002

He played for the US national team in the 2002 FIBA World Championship, which lost a record-three games and failed to win a championship for the first time in a major competition since FIBA opened international competitions to NBA players.

While Finley began to play more of a supporting role (small forward) as he aged and teammate Dirk Nowitzki blossomed, he remained a clutch player for the Mavericks.

2003

He eclipsed the previous record of seven set by teammate Bruce Bowen in 2003.

2005

In 2005, he was waived by Dallas to avoid luxury taxes (as part of the league's new labor agreement).

Finley became an unrestricted free agent and after being pursued by Detroit, Miami, Minnesota, and Phoenix, he elected to remain in Texas with the San Antonio Spurs.

In San Antonio, Finley adapted well to a secondary role as Manu Ginóbili's backup, developing and emphasizing his outside shooting.

2006

The Spurs were knocked out of the 2006 NBA playoffs by his former team one year after he made the switch.

During the series, Finley was punched below the belt by former teammate Jason Terry during Game 5, which earned Terry a suspension for the next game of the series and the suspension decision irritated Cuban, the Mavericks' boss, but the Spurs lost Game 7 after an overtime.

2007

He was a two-time NBA All-Star and won an NBA championship with the Spurs in 2007.

In 2007, Finley was voted one of the "100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament".

The 6' 7" shooting guard/small forward was originally drafted out of University of Wisconsin–Madison by the Phoenix Suns as the 21st overall pick of the 1995 NBA draft. Finley held the all-time scoring record at Wisconsin for eleven years before being passed by Alando Tucker on March 10, 2007.

In the fifth and final game of San Antonio's first-round series against Denver in 2007, Finley set the Spurs' record for three-point field goals in a playoff game, making eight of nine attempts.

Finley won his only NBA championship in 2007 with the San Antonio Spurs in his 12th NBA season.

2010

At Finley's request, the Spurs bought out the final year of his contract and waived him on March 1, 2010, freeing him to sign with another team.

On March 4, 2010, Finley reached a verbal agreement with the Boston Celtics to join the team for the remainder of the 2009–10 season.

He signed with the Celtics on March 6, 2010.

The Celtics would reach the 2010 NBA Finals, but would lose to the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in seven games.

At the end of the season, Finley announced he would retire.

Finley began playing basketball in elementary school.

His favorite player was Michael Jordan and he would occasionally go to Chicago Bulls games.

He majored in business management at Wisconsin.

2014

Although he did not graduate at the time due to the NBA draft, he completed his bachelor's degree in 2014 in agricultural and applied economics at Wisconsin.
