Dirk Nowitzki Career Retrospective: Full Highlights

[@khaaleliilighntingcoronado9009]

Dirk with Kobe in their primes. ...... Shit, the NBA couldn't handle that, everybody would hate that. Kobe, dirk, and Fisher coming at you.

[@chopnscrew]

*eats a memba berry* remember that time they drilled like 21 threes on the Lakers back in those playoffs? Ooh yeah, I 'memba! ;D

[@sarinkim2561]

He won that ring by abolishing the Miami heat with Lebron and Dwayne Wade thats ring he has means more then any ring KD or anyone else who went to a superteam to just win rings

[@youtuber3328]

they won it all in 11 not facing legends like michael jordan oscar robertson kareem abdul-jabbar wilt chamberlain + bill russell

[@Cornelius87]

This man led his team to 50 plus win seasons and deep playoff runs for over a decade in the West in the era filled with future hall of famers. From 1999 to 2011 only 3 teams made it out of the west, the Lakers, Spurs and the Mavs. Dirk always seemed to have lesser talent surrounding him than those other teams but never complained and took on whatever team was in front and battled their superstars toe to toe every night.

[@GalileloGalilei]

yup if giannis stick with the bucks for more than 10+ years and can bring the ring, that guy will be legendary

Yeah I think it has to do with them not being from here. Foreigners seem to be a lot more loyal too.

[@LargeDude2023]

@@NelothGaming Excellent point. Never thought about it that way but that might explain a lot. It does seem like many American players tend to be more money hungry Divas.

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

I live in San Antonio I won a contest in elementary and got court side tickets to a spurs Mavericks game in 2001. I was wearing my David Robinson jersey and Dirk came up to me and shook my hand and told me he liked my jersey. I thought he was the coolest and by the end of the season I had converted to a Mavericks fan. I remember crying my eyes out in 2003 when the Mavericks were about to take it to game 7 then Steve Kerr of all people ended their season. The 2006 finals meltdown surrounded by conspiracy. The next year with the warriors upsetting them. Fast forward to 2011 with one of the most amazing playoff runs ever. I wish I could meet dirk one more time to thank him for everything he did for the Mavericks. Having to watch him stay as we saw great teammates come and go. Thank you for doing it right. Hope he enjoys retirement and I hope he knows that everything he did is appreciated.

- Mutual respect. Both Dirk and Duncan did that for their franchise. CP3? Not so much. I have no problem with CP3 getting paid even at 33. BUT that totally restricted the Rockets from keeping Ariza (for 2018-19). Why wouldn't you not want to trade CP3, age 34, especially with his injuries at $38.57million/year-plus?

The first time I ever seen him I knew he was a special player. A 7 footer that athletic, that could shoot lights out from anywhere on the court. Stayed with one team, worked hard, became great, and made others around him great. A true champion that anybody can appreciate and idolize.

The 2011 championship run will stay one of the most impressive in league history. An aging stretch 4 superstar leading a team of pretty much only role players to a ring against a superteam by balling his brains out. Absolutely legendary.

It’s just hard to watch the nba now. I know there are great players, but man... those guys in the 2000’s. So many great iconic players. I watch old footage and brings back so many memories.

The King Maverick. He never left his kingdom, through thick and thim he seen it all. 2006 they blew at 2-0 finals lead. 2007 they've compiled NBA's best regular season record with 67 wins. He won MVP. But they were derailed by the We Believe Warriors in the 1st round of the playoffs. Four years on, he had his redemption versus South Beach Big 3 for his 1 and only NBA Championship. He never chased rings, he lifted his team and his city. He became a legend and revolutionize the game by being with one team. The master of one legged fadeaway. So long Dirk! Thanks for the mem'ries.

Ups and downs. He remained a maverick. We will see a statue of a one legged freak fadin away any moment now.
