I loved James Silas, the Iceman and the A-Train. I still rooted for them all the time except against the Mavs. I loved the fact that they built around star players over the years without constant turnover. Dirk having to play with 200 plus teammates is an absolute travesty and indictment against Mark Cuban,

Dirk for years had the Mavs winning 50+ wins. The mural of him in Dallas is a great representation of the respect & love Dallas has for him. Grew up watching him as a kid. Wished I could catch him throwing the ball up one last game 🥹

41 Ich weis noch als ich 2011 mitten in der Nacht die Finals gesehen habe ganz alleine auf mein Mini Laptop. Hauptsache live dabei. Dirk Nowitzki eine Legende und ein lustiger Kerl. Sehr gute Abschlussrede 😂❤😢🎉

One of the greatest players on and off the court. I can’t imagine his parents be any prouder. ❤ Hands down the 2nd greatest power forward of all-time.

As a spurs fan, i have nothing but the utmost respect for Dirk and the culture he brought to the Mavs. A true class act. The playoff run they went through on the way to the championship was nothing short of magical. Everyone knew that title was theirs.

Dirk watching you throughout my childhood and seeing you in the HOF is truly our honor. Playing for one team is just unheard of and you are a true pro. I’ve never cheered for a team harder than my Chicago bulls than that team who you won the finals with in 2011 along side my childhood favorite player Jason Kidd. Congrats!
