Man that statue is gonna be legit. Dirk deserves all of it. That 2011 championship run against the heat was so epic. Best European player ever

Nowitzki is ranked 4th in terms of games played (1522) and is ranked 6 place with 31560 points in terms of all time scoring. Gianis will not surpass him in both categories because he will not have such a long dominant career.
