Dallas Mavericks started accepting crypto payments two years ago making it the first NBA franchise to recognize cryptocurrencies as a payment method for tickets and merchandise. Dallas Mavericks fans can pay for gear and souvenirs using Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), USDC, and a few others.

Dogecoin was created as a joke, although it's now the largest crypto meme coin. DOGE has been worthless for a long time, but that seems to have changed after billionaires in a class of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Mark Cuban have started liking the token and tweeting about it on their social media.

DOGE price has gone from $0.01 in January 2021, reaching an all-time high of $0.078. At the time of writing the token price is valued at $0.056, at this price the token would have to make a 1,790% increase to get to $1.

However, despite the success of DOGE as a payment method for the Maverick franchise, as most do with the meme coin, Cuban said he was still having fun with the token.
