The Dallas Mavericks unveiled their new locker room at the American Airlines Center on Saturday.
The state-of-the-art facility has all the high tech features where no expense was spared.
As players walk into the new locker room, facial recognition camera will automatically check them in, and even send a message to the head coach telling them when each player arrives.
Once inside, the players will be greeted with air that has been cleaned and re-oxygenated.
“Having spent too many hours in casinos with Dirk and other players over the years, we noticed that it keeps us up, otherwise we would have been in bed at 11, but there was things that they did that kept us awake to sit at those blackjack tables all night long,” said Owner Mark Cuban.
The lighting and even the aromas inside the locker room is also customizable.

“there’s different types of lights and different colors and colors impact your senses, colors impact your responsiveness, all the signs that I had no clue about, I didn’t take that class anywhere… I didn’t even know it existed, but we really tried to go out of our way to give ourselves an edge,” said Cuban
“it will be a different smell depending on what time of day it is, pregame, during the game, post-game, again stuff that seems kind of crazy or off the wall but we tried to take advantage of every bit of research that we could find that applied to improving athletic performance,” Cuban added.
Cuban refused to disclose exactly how much all the renovations cost, but jokingly added “I’ll be working at Dairy Queen again.”
Each players locker is also specially equipped with all the high tech USB ports, TV Screens and even a refrigerator. The shoe drawer at the bottom is also ventilated to give all those shoes some fresh air.
The trophy wall inside the locker room also has a special feature. Blue lights on each side of the wall actually spell out "Dallas Mavericks" in Morse code.
