For a German it takes years to realise what 'Dunking Deutschman' also did as representer of our country. If you can say 'My Jersey-number won't be given to another player in the NBA-Team I played' you brought it to a L-E-G-E-N-D. Thanks to Dirk for representing our country as a true sportsman and thanks to Dallas who gave him more honour than a German ever deserved in this Sport.😊
1st player in NBA history who played loyal in Dallas for 21 years damn..no one ever do that.. unbelievable..god bless you dirk and your family.mvp NBA 🏆 champions 2011.
Blessed to have been able to be there. I love you dirk. 💙💙💙 thank you for everything you’ve done for the city of Dallas you are appreciated!!!! FOREVER41!!!
Grüsse aus Deutschland! Wir sind stolz auf Dich, Dirk. Loyalität, Einsatz und Respekt sind Charaktereigenschaften, die nur noch wenige Menschen besitzen, aber Du hast diese. Wünsche Dir und Deiner Familie das Beste für die Zukunft und weiterhin ein erfülltes Leben. Danke für die schönen Momente, die wir Fans mit Dir miterleben durften.🏀
Absolut stolz auf Dirk Nowitzki, Grüße aus Deutschland nach Dallas. What an amazing career. Dirk was always an Idol, never selfish always a team player and kind to the fans. He gave everything for the Mavs. Was a pleasure to watch the him with the Mavs. All the best for the Mavs aswell, one day a second championship will come 😉
Congrats Dirk! You deserve it so hard! Even the BIGGEST MOST BADASS STATUE EVER in front of the arena! 🤣You are the best ambassador for our country! Sending you many greetings from Germany!
Dirk is not only a super sympathic ambassador for basketball as well as for Germany, he is also a great ambassador for the Dallas Mavericks! Be assured Mavs, every basketball fan here in Germany will always have the Mavericks in their hearts, because we all were following Dirk for up to a good two decades and we really participated deeply when you and Dirk won the title. This is something no other German player has achieved and your club's name will always be associated to the biggest basketball player that Germany will ever have. Germany loves you, Mavericks! We really do!
Wow. That was special. Also so nice to see how they cheered Holger. What a nice recognition and so heartwarming. 41 changed the game, he truly did. Danke Dirk.
As a 90s baby Dirk was all I knew. Him and Nash were it for me at those games. It didn't matter to me if we lost watching them play was always fun in our house. And then to be at work as a grown kid with all Mavs supporters and getting to pause work that final quarter of that Finals game in 2011 because even our customers just wanted to watch, we watched them win with such grace after the Heat were such dou**e bags to them as people I'll never forget that moment. I had just graduated HS, just turned 18, and my city was on top. Something I'll always hold dear to my heart.
This is wonderful. Dirk absolutely deserves this. What an awesome night for him and his family. Dirk, I'm a Spurs fan but I've always respected you. You are amazing.
CONGRATULATIONS DIRK! Thank you for the beautiful memories. I couldn’t help but to get teary eyed as I was watching the video of all of your colleagues. You have a beautiful family. God Bless
I am 42. Been a mavs fan since a kid in the late 80s. Ive had a lot of wonderful memories and experiences in life but none more special than being at the game 5 clincher of the 2011 WCF and game 4 of the finals against Miami. Both wins on the way to the Title. Those two games in person are my most beloved, memorable and incredible moments of my life. So engrained I can take myself back via memory and it still feels like I'm there.
The one memory Id never forget is when he walked out of the court at the end of game 6 of the 2011 finals, him just walking to the locker room processing the amount of work he put in to finally he awarded with a championship will forever sit in my heary
I'm very blessed to have had someone like you to watch over the years. Exactly how you'd want someone to play the game and life. Thanks and much love! #mffl #4ever41
Germany's best export and a plus for every society, for 20 years I would like to meet him but unfortunately I will probably never and yet I am happy to have followed his career. Finally he is where he belongs, in the Hall of Fame! Thank you Mr. Nowitzki for 20 great years and I wish that the world recognizes what an asset you are to the sport. Danke danke danke danke danke Dirk Du bist mein Held und hast mir durch schwere Zeiten geholfen die leider noch nicht vorbei sind aber man muss immer nach vorne sehen!
Out here making grown men cry. Damn. Congratulations Dirk. Thanks for 2 decades of seeing a great example of hard work and perseverence. 41 Forever.

I‘m a little bit surprised about the huge size of that „biggest most badass statue ever“ 😳 Is „ever“ including the Michael Jordan statue in Chicago?
Check engine light on a Volkswagen, a tale as old as time.
Words will never be able to describe what you've done for the Mavs and for Dallas. 41 forever

I am a Celtics fan and a Larry Bird fan but man I really admire Dirk Nowitzki work ethics. He deserves this. Congrats Dirk!
I can't put in words how much I adore his attitude and his modesty. What a wonderful and extraordinary countryman. Pure class.
Congrats dirk. As a kid born in 91 I grew up watching you, kobe, shaq, etc. one of the greatest eras of the game. Well deserved brother. 41 forever.
The moment when Dirk thanked the Mavericks fans and fans in the AAC cheered loudly choked me up.
Me too :’)
This is wonderful. Dirk absolutely deserves this. What an awesome night for him and his family. Dirk, I'm a Spurs fan but I've always respected you. You are amazing.
