Carter (July 5, 1933 – February 14, 2018) was an American investor and businessman who was a founding owner of the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Dallas Sidekicks of the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL).[1][2][3] At the time of his death he was a minority partner in the Mavericks and a familiar courtside presence at the teams home games, always wearing a cowboy hat. Early lifeCarter was born into a poor family in Arkansas on July 5, 1933.[4][5] However, by 1957, his mother, Mary Crowley, made a fortune in a direct marketing interior decoration business, known as Home Interiors and Gifts.[5][6] The business was sold to Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst and netted Carter millions of dollars.[7] CareerCarter, along with Norm Sonju, founded an NBA expansion team, the Dallas Mavericks, in 1980.[2] When Sonju had difficulty securing the funds needed for the US$12 million expansion entry fee, Carter stepped forward to guarantee its payment.[8] This initial investment in the team (US${{formatprice|{{inflation|US|12000000|1980}}}} in today's terms) eventually earned him US$125 million (US${{formatprice|{{inflation|US|125000000|1996}}}} in today's terms) when he sold the team in 1996 to an investment group led by Ross Perot Jr..[9][10] Over the years, Carter owned many different types of businesses, including a Rolls-Royce dealership.[11] Other businesses include banks, trucking firms, hotels, rodeo arenas, and cattle ranches. In the 2011 championship win by the Dallas Mavericks over the Miami Heat he was given the honor of receiving the Larry O'Brien trophy by Mark Cuban as the first owner. A minority (4%) owner, he frequently attended Mavericks games until his death in 2018.[12] Personal life and deathCarter had two sons, Donald J. “Joey” Carter, Jr. and Ronald L. Carter, and a daughter, Christi Carter Urschel with his wife of 58 years, Linda Jo.[13][14] Carter died at his home in Dallas, Texas on February 14, 2018, at the age of 84.[15][16] See also
