spurs fan here, without a doubt my favorite rival. i'll never forget the heartbreak of game 7, 2006 conference finals. never thought i'd shed a tear when an opponent retired but here we are.
Thats unfair towards players nowadays. You never know about the inner workings of an organization. What good is there in staying loyal to a company that treats you like shit. doesnt wanna pay your money and doesnt help you get anywhere?
When you are the biggest miser amongst your social circle and rarely spend money outside of necessities but your willing to miss work, drive out to San Antonio, and spend money in excellent seats to see your hero play in his final game ever #ThankyouDirk
Don't know this guy personally and it wonders me why am i crying watching this video. This guy made an impact to my life without meeting him eye to eye.
Man, I cried when I saw Dirk wipe his tears after the tribute. Since I was 17, been following the NBA and Dirk. Awesome player. One of a kind. What a role model
Wade was great but he’s a common SG you can find better. Dirks arguably the most internationally known player. In the words of Van Gundy “Dirk nowitzki has become a household name across the world. Kobe, Michael, Dirk
my favorite player.. the one who makes me fall inlove with nba. Im 3rd year highschool when I started to love Nba because of Dirk. 2010 that was amazing and so hyped. thankyou for everything dirk
@@frankpagel39 Yeah of course Bro, but Big Yao’s prime time was too short because of injury and there’s no championship run when he played for that Houston. The population of Rockets fans in China is no doubt No.1 but the loyalty in NBA is hard to tell in my opinion.
@@imdbtruth I think there is not so much relationship between the color and popularity for most Chinese fans eyeing for NBA. The real fans behind Jeremy Lin is also a small crowd in China. We always think highly of players’ production and performance especially for a overseas league. Kobe, Lebron, DWade, AI, Steph, Klay, Irving, CP3 even KD, they are all black and have more Chinese fans than Dirk.
I don’t think it has anything to do with race since there are still a bunch of Iverson fans in China! Dirk is a legend and been that since x amount of years that’s why they love him. Same in Europe
Love uuuu dirkyyyy. I was too young when I came to US and didn't had money to get a poster so took a newspaper article and pasted ur photo in my room for 10 years till we repainted our house and my parents threw the paper pic away lol 🤦🏻♂️.. I have all the memories with me. Tried your fade away against everyone I faced. Man U will be missed Dirk. True legend man. A Goat 🐐
Just imagine 41 years old, 21 years with the Mavs and with 1 NBA grand championship ring on his finger! An amazing journey to the towering German! Hope that the next German face in the NBA will shine as bright as him when he appears for the Lakers!
That Should Be A Record. 21yrs With 1 Team. Never Traded Up On Them Nor Got Big Headed. He Is Truly 1 Of The Most Influential Players Of All Time. I Am Proud To Say That I Have Enjoyed Watching Him Play And Being Able To Actually Go To Their Games. I'm Maybe 20 Mins From The Arena. I'm Glad I Had The Chance To Experience That. Wish He Went One More Year So I Could Have Taken My Son When He Turns 1🤣
2004 pre olympiks Team USA vs Germany #. Probably the best game Dirk ever played almost alone against the NBA all stars. But Iverson kills!!!!! Germany with a Buzzer Beater !! Insane Game!!
For now on when I shoot something into the the trash I will yell “Dirk” as i fade back on one foot, then watch it fall into the trash can or explode if its full cup of flat gas station pop, THANK YOU for your 21 years of service German Goat 🐐💯x💯
I wonder who was the one hater on here that put a dislike 🤔 dirk is the greatest proud to be a Dallas Mavericks fan for life thank you number 41 live forever
I wish he could stay in team for couple years more. Not as a player but as a role model for Luka. Give his life examples to build another great europian for NBA and especially for Mavs. Danke Dirk for all you have done.
We need a statue of dirks trademark fade-away in victory plaza
Edit -Thank you for the Likes he’s my hero since I was a kid
We will get one without a doubt
Fax
Statue of Liberty size please.
With the long hair bruh...
Pls name it after that dirk or fade away plaza
Great plater, great family man and a great person. One of the best images representing the NBA.
🏀💯🏆

All these players are not loyal.. changing teams all the time.. 21 years in the same organization!! LOYALTY!!
If only Kobe show himself in this video...
Yeah man i did not like kobe and the lakers but i have high respect to kobe's tenacity and will to win and sticking with the lakers
@@jarethcruz2627 nice story bob, tell me more

watch giannis!!
I'm not crying, you ARE crying.
I miss him already!!!! Dirk forever, Dirk for always #GOAT
He's one of those you wanna guide your son towards

John kurian props to you man!!
Nice chetta
One team in 21 years.
I respect your loyalty and sacrifice.
Mavs fans are so lucky to have you.
My favorite player in any sports. Thanks Dirk. Excited for next season.
2 people blinded by tears clicked the wrong button
One ring rule them All...bow down teamhoppers
I'm not crying you are!
The most loyal player in the league. They should encourage that more often rather than say its business. Dirk is the best. #Swish41

Legend! Thx Dallas for giving Dirk a new home and greetz, from Würzburg to Dallas!!!
When you hear the name Dirk Nowitzki there is just one word to describe "LOYALTY"! What a great career and he is still so humble.
Massive respect by the fans and organization to dirk.. loyalty what makes this man a legend to the end..
Thats right whenever you hear dallas ..Dirk Nowitzki is the only person in your mind ❤🙏❤lots of love from India ❤❤❤❤❤
lol does hakeem really need subtitles? (laughing in nigerian) 00:57
Yup can't understand him
nigerian isn’t even a language
We love you and respect you and you will be missed. Thank you for all the memories. Best of luck and God bless.
Let's Go Mavs
Not only 21 years in the same organization , most important thing in sports is to win a Championship!! All respect Dirk🏆
Thank you for everything Dirk. From the low of 06, to the high of 11 and 21 great years. 41!!!!!
Did D.Wade get this much love. Hell no!!! Thanks Dirk. GOAT!!!!!
No. Because Wade is a douche like his bff Lebron.
Wade was great but he’s a common SG you can find better. Dirks arguably the most internationally known player. In the words of Van Gundy “Dirk nowitzki has become a household name across the world. Kobe, Michael, Dirk
Winning championship without going to another team. That's how you should do it! Congrats Dirk for a wonderful HOF career.
Great player, loyal to the organisation, modest, nice and grounded person - a role model!
I really have to stop slicing those damn onions.
41.21.1 love you dirk! Thank you! Crazy how fast time has flown by! Wish could of seen u live.
my favorite player.. the one who makes me fall inlove with nba. Im 3rd year highschool when I started to love Nba because of Dirk. 2010 that was amazing and so hyped. thankyou for everything dirk
Same here👍
I think Mavs fans are the most consistent fans in China just because of Dirk.
I think Houston got more Fans cause of Yao.
@@frankpagel39 Yeah of course Bro, but Big Yao’s prime time was too short because of injury and there’s no championship run when he played for that Houston. The population of Rockets fans in China is no doubt No.1 but the loyalty in NBA is hard to tell in my opinion.

@@imdbtruth No, we love Dirk because he's 220% Chinese. Thats what it is
I don’t think it has anything to do with race since there are still a bunch of Iverson fans in China! Dirk is a legend and been that since x amount of years that’s why they love him. Same in Europe
Respect to you,Dirk.
You are the one.
Good description of superstar, franchise and a great player in and outside the court.
Love uuuu dirkyyyy.

I love the Mavericks so much!
I wonder how Lebron feels when he says ONE near the end of this video.
Its not even the end of the Playoffs yet & I already miss my Dirk
Im so lucky to witness Dirk's legacy. Thanks Dirk! MFFL!

Dirk Nowitzki is the Maverick of all mavericks in Dallas...
Name of the song?
I thought there is a Sesame Street ad along in the middle, my bad I was wrong, it's still the same video.
RESPECT!!!!
Amazing
♥They are all so nice.♥
He is the REAL GOAT!
i love dirk and dallas mavericks since i learn basketball here in the philippines!
why did yall have to subtitle hakeem?
I thought the number 1 stands for the 1 championship he brought to Dallas.
We love you Dirk!
Probably but it may be one team also
Or "the one"
I wish he could stay in team for couple years more. Not as a player but as a role model for Luka. Give his life examples to build another great europian for NBA and especially for Mavs. Danke Dirk for all you have done.
very good german Shaq :D
Z Wade and Gabrielle Union disliked this video
Shaq grow up in germany too, until he was 8 or so
loyalty is royalty!
Beautiful
Number 1 player of all tym
For me
#mavs
