Dirk Nowitzki - King of Dallas

- "Danke" to the greatest professional athlete in the history of Dallas, TX. This is not so much of a highlight video as it is a story.
The story is told in 3 chapters:
1. Intro - Setting the stage. In the summer of 2014 Dirk was an UFA and potentially looking to leave to pursue one more shot at a championship. The Mavs were failing to put a winning team around him the 4 years after winning the championship and it was discouraging to him. The intro also sets up the rest of the video, showing us the kid from Würsberg, Germany who would eventually be drafted 9th overall. Song: The Mighty Rio Grande by This Will Destroy You
2. Chapter 1: Dirk's early career. The Steve Nash combo, and friendship as well as the years after Steve Nash, which included making it to the finals and losing, becoming the 1 seed the next season and an MVP and then losing in historic fashion in the first round. There were so many good moments and bad moments in Dirk’s first 10 years, but they all made Dirk who he is now. The successes and failures. All of these things made him who he is. Song: I Am by Awolnation
3. The Plateau: This is where Dirk did it. He solidified his legacy as a legend. The mood of this chapter was intended to capture that moment of success you get when you feel like you’ve reached the highest point of what you were trying to achieve. The song used for this scene was: Outro by M83
We will always love you, Dirk.
Music:
The Mighty Rio Grande - This Will Destroy You
I Am - AWOLNATION
Outro - M83
Dirk is the best example of a champion
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes without a doubt
The only Guy who took a bunch of Veterans and no names and without any actuall Allstar to an NBA Championship ! One of the greatest who ever touched a basketball ! Salute
YESSIR!!
false, JH was a allstar but got injured
@@Don-gu1mx did he play in the playoffs ? he was down way before that.
@@svenkreuzberg2274 He got traded to Washington. We got Butler but he got injured during the title run.
Beating a superteam too.. Dirk deserves all the praise... What a player he was 🙌🍻
Aside from Kobe, I highly respect Dirk as one of the most loyal players in the NBA. He didn't ring chase, he is the definition of an NBA player.
you are absolutely correct. a rare breed. Lillard is the only player in today's NBA that I can think of who is doing sort of the same thing.
The only European guy to win MVP season & NBA final he broke the barrier that no foreign NBA player does. Love u man
He is the most inspiring person whether you are a basketball fan or not. His values and attitude is worth emulating. He should have won two rings though but regardless, no one stopped him in becoming a champion and it is really amazing. To me he is GOAT.
Dirk is the best in my eyes, Mavericks for life
He's a great basketball player but an even greater human being.
DIRK is one of the BIG reasons why i LOVE BASKETBALL.
i am very very fortunate in this lifetime that i got to nowitzness and somehow feel the pain and glory of redemption he felt and know that a lot of people love this AMAZING man just like me. Danke DIRK!! 💪💪
The German had the sweetest touches! I was fortunate to be living in Texas when he won the championship!
me as well, he was my grandmas favroite player til she passed away last year, THANK YOU DIRK!!!!!
I Think I've Watched Their Championship Win A Million Times. The Entire Dallas Franchise Deserved It But That Dirk MOST DEFINITELY Deserved It. Being From Dallas And Going To A Few Games And Being Able To See Him In Action On The Court From The 2nd Row Was Amazing. He Will Most Definitely Be The King Of Dallas Forever💯
I'm not crying, you're crying
The German Wunderkind bring Dallas his first Title in his HISTORY !!!And the First German Basketball Player in the American Basketball Hall of Fame !!!!!!!!! DÖÖÖRK
Definition of loyal to the bone
Dirk carried his team to championship without any other all star in his team, he stayed and remained loyal to Dallas Mavericks, the guy even took paycuts just to let his other teammates play on the court. He is and will always be a champion on whatever court.
One of the best
Wow video being a tears to my eyes. He is my favorite player. It going to be a sad day when he retires. Thank u dirk
That day has come
Thank you for the compliment. I take it as a compliment when someone comments on this video that they cried. That was absolutely the intention.
Well done bro..I feel like Dirk is family for me at least. I'd love to meet him and tell him how much he has meant to me as a fan.
I think we all would, my friend. Dirk is a hell of a guy. I could have made this thing 45 minutes long if time allowed, easily. He's that interesting of a person.
I think most people in/around Dallas feel like Dirk is a part of the family. He's meant so much to us.
Great work! Dirk is truly special, it's a travesty management has bungled building a team around him. what's the name of the song at the beginning?
+Hann Mao The tracks are: The Mighty Rio Grande by This Will Destroy You, I Am by Awolnation and Outro by M83!
Thank you for the kind words
Dirk is the Rocky of Basketball
That made me cry. Don't retire.
dirk deserves only respect. takes paycuts to get good players, doesnt run to other clubs, just bc they have more money, or better chance to get star players! Im happy, that Luka an Porzingis is in MAVS now- i hope they wil catch Dirks awesome vibe, and respect to the game! one love big guy!
p.s damn ninjas cutting onions in my house!
HAHAHAH. YESSSS! I am glad to hear that it made you cry. I've watched this video (throughout the editing process) HUNDREDS of times and it still gets me emotional.
There’s a reason why when all that stuff was coming out about the Mavs front office the women said the locker room was the safest place for them. It’s because it was Dirks locker room and the guy is 100% class.
DAM I MISS THIS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was outstanding! You captured the journey and thrill it has been watching the greatness of Dirk! So many great memories. Well done!!
I hope his new young squad can carry him back into the playoffs. Playoff Dirk is just so amazing to watch.
Right in the feels.. time flies by all the players of my childhood will be retired within the next few years
This man will always be my Hero THANK YOU DIRK for the 21 Years
Tears in my eyes bro. #41 forever
My favorite player of all time!!!
Nash and Dirk ❤️
Amazing video, great work
Support Dirk and Dallas FOREVER
Greetings from Greece

I cried man, great video
I miss you Dirk thanks for delivering my city a championship
Bro, this is so well done. Amazing work.
wow--thank you so much for your comment. I genuinely appreciate it.
What a class act. Im gonna miss dirk :(
Gosh that move he put on Bosh, I'll never forget it.
When Dirk ran to the ball after Jason missed it🙁. I remember asking my uncle why he missed that 3...but I was so happy when we put LeBron in his place!
Drangoor I agree man... 06 was so sad but all was made right in 11.
We all know he's a legend in the DFW area but most people i hear describe him as an even better person off the court. That's genuine. Watch the episode when he got punked. My man was signing autographs for a little kid who took it to far. He had Dirk sign another player's jersey. I've enjoyed the ride with him with the "ups and downs" as he likes to say.
finally getting around to check your vid, from a red raider fan to a northern kentucky fan i say thank you for this
YOOO I appreciate the love, sir!
6:41 best picture in nba history, great 2nd song
Eisen Dieter you got that right buddy
Funny, I'm a UNC fan and more of a college basketball fan in general. Not even a pseudo-Mavs fan or along those lines. We offered this kid from Oklahoma (Brady Manek) a few hours ago and I came to UA-cam to checkout his game. Instantly I thought of Dirk, as I'm guessing he modeled his jumper after him. Next thing I knew, I've spent the last two hours watching Dirk highlights and it ultimately led me here.
First off, well done. Strong Friday Night Lights vibes and I mean that in the most positive way possible. I don't normally comment on videos, but this one compelled me to say I've always admired Dirk's perseverance from afar. His basketball story is something that seems so rare in this new NBA world. Where you have players jumping from team to team, after their rookie deal, trying to create a bunch of mini-super-teams with their buddies like it's AAU. Or some taking their supermax and then forcing a trade... I probably sound like an oldhead and that's fine. Dirk's champion is far more valuable than giving your team 2-3 years and trying it again for another franchise and I have zero issue fighting on that side of the argument. If he never won one like other greats did (including one featured in this video), so what? Championships are something to be earned. Bravo, Dirk. He earned his and all the respect he gets for who he was as a basketball player and person.
Class act
🐐
Jason Terry will forever have a great comeback for Lebron. All Lebron had is a poster 😂 Dirk is an amazing person and player. Great tribute
Dallas legend.
Very interesting and emotionally driven music for this king Dirk mixtape. Usually music choices for these types of vids are so cliché and kinda cheesy
Thanks man - yes the music was pretty much the #1 priority here, and I chose songs that helped tell the story I wanted to tell. Thank you!
Wow my tears is falling down 😭best championship ever for me
Thank you sir!!
#41 💚
I came here the moment Dirk say it was his last year playing damn it hurts so bad.
I appreciate you choosing this video first! I really tried to capture the story of Dirk's career moreso than specific highlights.
Ur d man dirk!salute😉
Greatness
I going to miss you Dirk when you retire:(
As A Dallas Fan We really Appreciate The Spurs Fans For the Love And almost Respect for Our Legend..what A high Class organization.. I felt The Same with Duncan when he Retired Two of my Childhood Basketball Hero’s now Gone Forever!!!!😭😭😭ONLY BITTER AND HATE LOVE MEMORYs To Reflect ON😥😥😥😥 Thank U Dirk And TiMMY For the Unforgettable memories...
Yes I'm a Spurs fan but I luv Dirk as well
Yes!! All of this!
🔥🔥🔥
Dirk's only championship is better than Lbj's 2 chips with the heat. Am i the only one who believes that?
Nice video. Dirk's a legend.
Only his hometown is spelled "Würzburg" 😉
HAHAHAHA Damn it maybe that's why I can't get a RT on this video!!!
Tears and pains we got 1 we got 1...
Dirk may only have 1 ring, but that 1 ring weighs more than 2 rings.
wow.. all i can say !!
Haslem, Bosh and Wade try to catch Dirk at one time at 6:04.
And he fuxxs them all three!
That' s german perfection!
I know what I'm talkin' about.
haha BYE BITCH!
A giant from Germany and a dwarf from Canada transforms a city in Texas....who would have thought???
Dirk the most beautiful shot ever!
Whats the ost?
Gieson De la Torre song 1 at the very beginning of the video is called The Mighty Rio Grande by This Will Destroy You. Song 2 which chronicles dirks successes and failures in the earlier parts of his career is called I Am by Awolnation. (All of these things made me who I am-that was the theme I was going for there). Song 3 is Outro by M83... Its supposed to symbolize Dirk finally reaching the plateau. Becoming legendary. Dirk was already a legend to Mavs fans but this part of the video was designed to capture the feeling that we all get when we think of “Dirk.” Just an amazing man. Amazing ball player. And a champion.
Did you have to pick m83 for the second song?😖 Gives me that beautiful sad mood! Dirk deserved at least 2 more titles in his career. Wow so many years without a supporting cast that could score like him. He will always be in my top 10 all time and my personally favorite player!
Oh yeah! I went with M83 cause it's soooo dramatic. Guaranteed tears for all Dirk fans!
Kyle Craven well done bro because It got me raining!
@@idm4christ I really do appreciate that!!
My dream is to meet u some day idol
What if the Bucks/ Mavs trade never happened
Hes up there,but he's not the king!
Did you see his brother in the crowd?
HAHA one of the funniest moments of his career!
Great cutting i dont like the music tbh
@2:51
Captain Dirk > LeBron
Terry should’ve passed it 💯😬 4:08
bruhhh, been saying this for 15 years now. you nailed it.
@@kylecraven1916 Either Howard on the opposite end or Jerry could’ve went into the paint and drew a foul 😒🤦🏽♀️
Nash and dirk means multiple rings 🤔🤔🤔
now who the fuck is Kevin Darant..., no Dorant? Ive forgotten the snakes name...
first song is terrible, 2nd song is totally awesome (like dörk)
lol
Hi bad luck brian
