The 1983–84 NBA season was the Mavericks' 4th season in the NBA.[1]

The season is notable seeing the Mavericks make the postseason for the first time in franchise history. However, after defeating the Seattle SuperSonics in the opening round, Dallas was outmatched by an experienced Los Angeles Lakers squad as they fell in five games.

Mark Aguirre was selected to play in the 1984 NBA All-Star Game. He is the first player in Mavericks history to be named an All-Star.
