Patrick Dumont grinned as he walked to his courtside seat to watch his team, the Dallas Mavericks, play the Sacramento Kings. The owner, wearing a dark blue blazer and boyish haircut, greeted a young fan with a handshake as he passed. But something was off; the arena was erupting in boos. Dumont sat down and turned to Rick Welts, the Mavs' chief executive officer. “Is that for me?” Dumont seems to ask in a video capturing the moment. Welts appears to answer in the affirmative.
