This is too cute.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

The Dallas Mavericks have a new puppy and ‘Swish’ is the cutest darn thing in the NBA.

It took a second for Swish (the dog) to realize Swish (the NBA legend) wanted to say hello, but as soon as he did, the pup ran over as quick as his little fur stumps would carry him.

When Dirk met Swish it was perfect.

We need more Swish all season long. Every NBA team should have a pup.
