the spurs organization had so respect for him that showed him a video tribute on his retirement year which made him cry!!!!!
A great athlete with a class. Unlike many other so called "superstars", no drama no BS. True role model. Congrats on your remarkable career!
Truuuuue
agree 100%
Exactly just an extremely hard worker
He beat the reigning champs with Kobe, Pau, Artest, Odom. He then beat the future finalists with KD, Westbrook, Harden (btw all 3 MVPs, Scoring Champs) and the best shot blocker (Ibaka) looked like he doensn´t know what defense is. But the finals with Lebron, Wade and Bosh were just the cream on top of his run. What a monster he was in 2011
He his the true Goat, By beating lbj, D Wade, Bosh, also for staying Loyal to the Mavericks not ring chasing or joining a super team like so many do now days, he also took pay cuts, he wasn't selfish, Nice to His teamates also to the fans, He truly cared, unlike so many who only care about themselves and there money, He could have scored 40,000 points if he would have joined another great team and won several championships, Dirk Nowitzki the NBA was better with you inn it, Now that he retired from the NBA they lost a Super Great Legend , not like lbj or kobe or others who cared about self , True Fan to the Game that will miss you!!!
Aldridge and B Roy too
@M huge soccer fan here and you're fucking embarassing
@@user-ve7hn2dh8h dunked on him
Also took down the Spurs a couple times, i know they had his number more often than not but the Spurs also had a better overall team
My all time favorite player since 2005. thank you dirk. Growing up watching you. NO.1 Dirk Nowitzki pinoy fan here!!!
I hope no one likes this anymore
@@ITA361 if luka stay loyal and continue to play like mvp caliber he can be like dirk.
@@lakbaynilakay he has the talent but Dirk is an all-time top 20 Player. It will be difficult
Dallas wants kristaps to be dirk.lmao
@@swayzocrazo4398 failed miserably due to Lukas rise
Not many things make me cry, but when Dirk left the floor in San Antonio, I started to cry. He means so much to not just me, but he means everything to Dallas. He never left to go play with a Super Team, he took pay cuts and did whatever he needed to do to win. And his Championship Run? Dont get me started.
-Beat a Great Blazers Team with (Aldridge, Roy, And others)
-SWEPT the Defending 2 TIME CHAMPION LAKERS
-DOMINATED vs (Durant, Westbrook, Harden) including 48 and 40 in 2 games of that series
-Defeated the Super Team in Miami with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh
Dirk, Congrats on a Great Career. Your a Living Legend. Thank You for Everything.
Sincerely- Mavs Nation
You're*
he also played in the toughest era in the nba
spurs & lakers & mavs were the only teams to win the west......
let that sink in
truth man i am a DIRK FAN FROM ALGERIA
@@abduhmaulana5607 Pathetic twat!!
The most valuable ring ever.
30,000+ Points, MVP, FMVP, NBA CHAMP. Undisputed #2 PF of all time. Dirk and Tim are both Locked in Top 2 and you guys cant take them out.
Met Dirk once - he was so nice my daughter thought we were old friends.
Undefendable.
DU HAST KEINE AHNUNG WIE SEHR JEDER DEUTSCHE STOLZ AUF DEIN LEBENSWERK IST DANKE FÜR ALLES WIR LIEBEN DICH
That man Dirk, so humble, modest and loyal. While others yearn for pay increases he takes insane pay cuts to help his team. Truly a once in a generation player. I cried when he won it in 2011 seeing him go to the locker room after the final horn sounded. That one ring so well deserved..thank you Dirk!
Dirk Should Have 3 rings!! 2003 he got hurt in game 2 of WCF, and didn’t play the rest of the series, and mavs still pushed the spurs to game 6 without him. 2006 easily got robbed with Wade getting more freethrows than the entire mavs team. And 2011 the one that he absolutely dominated everyone, from Kobe and Pau, to Westbrook, Harden and Durant, to Bosh, Wade and Lebron!!! What a career man!!
Danke Dirk. Der beste Botschafter Deutschlands. Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor diesem tollen Mann.
Dirk is not only a excellent sportsman, he is an ambassador for human being...
The way Dirk Nowitzki talks about challenges and ups and downs is simply stunning! A real rolemodel in the way handling success and failure! Always rely on the people around you and don`t let yourself down at any time! Simply a legend!
Congrats, big fella, your ring is the most valuable ring in NBA history.
If Porzingis is the unicorn, Dirk is the Sasquatch. Only one, never to be seen again. Absolute legend.

Dirk is Dallas, Dallas is Dirk!!! Forever.
Will we ever understand how great this dude is ..
Dirk had not 1 enemy. Hell of a legacy.
Not a basket ball fan but I liked watching this man play. I always thought he was going to become a champion. And I’m glad he did it with Dallas.
I remember it so well, a few month later my mom died, Dirk made me happy in a very dark moment
BERND Kals May your mother Rest In Peace Brother 🙏🏽
@@Galatasaray-oz9fn thanks man
@@berndkals6931 feel you, bro. i lost my mother just before the playoffs. as the mavs lead 2-0 in the semis i checked the scores for the first time and Dirk and the Mavs then made the world a little bit brighter for me.
@@these101 thanks bro, it was amazing, wasn't it i mean against a team with three allstars like lebron, i didnt think he we would make it, i thought he was too soft in the Playoffs, but he proofed me wrong
@@berndkals6931 i didnt believe in him either with his washed up vet-team. it is so nice to see that a humble human beeing like dirk suceeded over the super banana boat friends. i will cherish this forever. the 2011 playoff run was just... i think i have no fitting words for it... it was just straight awesome.
11 years in a club and the team makes the deal. Th'at a great story. Kidd was the key.
That hug to jet may have been uncomfortable for dirk but it meant a lot to us mavs fans.
Sitting here at work. Got work to do. Do I REALLY need to watch this now? Ah who am I kidding? Of course I need to.
Ye u do.
Amazing he maneged to play for
So long, and stayed loyal to the same team.
same here today :)
1 of the most humble and loyal players ever. The kind guy that doesnt take high pays but infact reduced his pay to sign other players. That's a heart of a champ
One of only two players to play with one team for 20 seasons. And holds the record for most time with one team at 21 years. That's a record that will be safe for a long long time.
Im 31 and been watching this man for 18yrs...he is very inspiring. He's one of the best players I ever watched and I would always be a Dirk fan..Salute to you my dear!! Enjoy your retirement!!!
One of the best shooters of all time top 5 hands down he makes it from anywhere mr clutch
DAMN what LEGACY!!!!Dirk is the greatest powerforward in my opinion!!!
not the best pf but the best scoring pf and the best stretch pf
Dirk is legend,best wishes from Germany.
Dirkules.......Mavs and him forever in my heart.
.....was für ein grossartiger Mensch, Sportsmann, Botschafter! Dirk, mann muss dich einfach lieben, bleib wie's bist :-)
My All Time Favorite NBA Player and my all time favorite password....NOWITZKI.
DIRK!! Will always be MY GOAT 🐐 TY for coming to Dallas, we love you!! And yes, that 2006 series vs the Spurs was so damn intense..... thought we were gonna lose that game 7 there!
though I am 11 years older than him, he is a role model to me. Greetings from Germany
DANKE DIRK!
Schöne Grüße aus Wien!
DANKE DIRK! ohne dich mach die nba nur halbsoviel Spaß :(
werd dich vermissen!
Grüße aus Heidingsfeld!
One of my favorite players of all time!!
He was a true legend. I'm so glad he was able to win a ring. He had such a huge impact on the new role of big men in the NBA
I do not like "new role for big man" . He was exceptional, but big man need to be down low near the basket. It makes winning so much more easy
2011 Playoff Nowitzki is the GOAT! 🐐
Dirk is my all time favorite
Alles gute Dirk ! Deutschland is proud of you
Living Legend. Respect
Danke Dirk! Great player, still great man ....
honestly i just love this guy. makes me cry. im an australian dude that loves ball but has never had a team...
Einfach der Wahnsinn 🤗🤗🤗 Grüße aus Rattelsdorf 🤙
One thing I can say about Dirk, his championship ring is something C. Barkley, K. Malone, J. Stockton, P. Ewing and some of the others don't have. Quote from Barkley "Damn, he's (Nowitzki) off my list now" (best players list who never won a championship)
Barkley rocks
There was no possessed, selfish , mean, bully "ring hoarder" in his era though . Everybody is "too" nice
I'm an American in Germany and I see on TV that the German media loves their boy! Es gibt viele liebe für Dirk von Deutschland!

That was a tough one for me 🇵🇷 😭... but as a Mavs fan, still happy Dirk finally made it to the Olympics #MFFL
My game came from this guy...... my hero 💯
I miss him already. 😔
Missed his last game. Hope Dirk will remain in Dallas, so that I can go and visit him soon
He said that he considers Dallas and Texas to be his new home and he will be staying around here :-)
International Greatest Basketball Player of all Time!
Won in one of the most stacked playoffs in NBA history! They should’ve gave him an an undisputed championship belt f’ a ring. 🙌. I’m a die hard knicks fan too 😂
Dirk, der Allergrößte! Würzburg ist stolz auf Dich! 😘❤️ #goat
One of my favorite NBA player
Such a Great Athlete. Good Bless you IDOL!!!
missin you already Dirk!!! me after watching LAL vs DAL 😥
Dirk championship is the best, imagine beating the champions, the future MVPs, the superstars of heat
A Player who stayed loyal to his Team thru ups and downs
Who thinks Dirk's 1 ring weighs more than Lebron's 3?
Tom Yu yes!! He did it without and other stars unlike Lebron .
Tom Yu Lebron has never put a team on his back to win the finals like dirk has, of course. It took multiple tries to win with Bosh/Wade and the other two finals he’s won he’s gotten bailed out by the likes of Kyrie’s and Ray Allen’s crazy shots. he can’t win a finals without two other all-stars, Dirk won without a single guy that was even considered a fringe-all star. He didn’t need a Kevin Love/Kyrie or Bosh/Wade. 100%.
I though LBJ had like 7 or 8 locked in when he moved his "talent" to South Beach.
cant you people appreciate dirk without hating lebron? as if lebrons 2016 ring wasnt one of the greatest ever
They were cheated out of 2006 too, don't forget.
We'll never forget you Dirk. Top 5 PF of All-Time. #swish41
easily top 2 imo
@@lordhuebi Yea. I just put Top 5 to avoid discussions. I'm a huge fan of Dirk but imo Duncan>Dirk>Malone>Barkley>KG.
No bro, he is the best PF of all time.
Kyel Ranjo Ramos he changed the game
@@jannes867 nah TD
One of the best experiences in Dallas sports history.
Danke Dirk Nowitzki. Ich bin stolze Deutsche und bewundere dich für deine Leistung. Gott möge dich und deine Familie beschützen.
my fave player of all time
That 2011 finals was a real feel good moment
God bless you legend❤️✌️💪🇩🇪
I love many teams in the NBA but I only buy Dallas Mavericks NBA jersey because of this guy DIRK NOWITZKI
Hopefully they make a documentary featuring Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki. They were really battling every year though the spurs had the upper hand with the players around duncan and nowitzki got his supporting cast when carlisle became the coach.
My greatest idol Dirk, no need powerhouse team to have a ring
i love you dirk u made me love basketball
I love Dirk Nowitzki for lifetime.#MFFL
That's why he is my favorite and one and only idol... Redirkolous #41
I still feel like It's still 2011. I've been always a great fan of yours. Great man+Fantastic journey=Legend
Kleiner Hangover, der gute Dirk:)! Wohl verdient..alles Gute für den neuen Lebensabschnitt, danke für 21 unvergessene Jahre! GO MAVS!!
Thanks for this, Dirk is the man
True Legend 💯
IMHO, Dirk's championship is among the very best In degree of difficulty. Kobe, KD, LBJ with the Heatles. That's a murderers' row to get through!
Wunderkind!
"I can't, I don't want the trophy, give it to somebody else" lol only Dirk
A 7 footer with good footwork and can shoot lights out, will always be unstoppable....
My Fave
DIRK NOWITZKI HALL OF FAME !!!!!!
GOAT
Loved it
I’m so happy her won in 2011
I remember Kevin Hunt from southwest high school being brought in around 2010-2011 and really showing the mavericks the way. It was beautiful.
Pffff ... Nash and him at the beginning, you can think they're the new N'Sync !! Big Dirk you're the best (french man speaking :) )
Legende!
Great job, Mark.
Thank you Dirk for this video! I could watch whole season of series from you :) Think about it ;) #DirkNowitzki #41-21-1
Dirk is the best!!!
Dirk's lone ring weighs more than all of KD's participation trophies.
Dallas Idol
Dirks one ring outweighs all the queens
so proud of you :) grüße aus würzburg
G.O.A.T
No One EVER! can be like DIRK what he did to the franchise of DALLAS MAVERICKS. While this generation player right know all they want is MONEY! Dirk is truly my idol
...I wouldn't trade IT for anything". Just participating with/for his National Team at the Olympics … realizing not being in the medal-race...and Setting it ahead MOST NBA stuffs, … makes a DIRK!!!
I love this celebration of Dirk. What an excellent interview and showcase of his highlight moments. BUT, you can't accurately portray Dirk's defining moments without the heartbreaking moments. You need the series losses to the apparently unbeatable Spurs. You need the crushing defeat in the 06 finals to DWade, Shaq, and the one sided officiating. You need the MVP 1 seed season the Mavs were sweept in the first round to the 8th seeded Warriors and Dirk throws the chair through the wall. You need the off-seasons of the talking heads saying the Mavs will never get it done because they are soft. They are soft because Dirk is playing like a shooting guard when he's supposed to be a POWER forward.
As a mavs fan that remembers Dirk being drafted, the mavs were a rollercoaster of emotions. The closest real life thing to an Rudy type story. After they won in 2011, the game is different for me. My ultimate wish as a fan of basketball happened. I don't know, it feels like when you beat one of your favorite video games for the first time, you feel accomplished, grateful.... and yet, empty. Sure you'll play the game again, maybe even beat it again. But it's not the same.
You'll never witness your team grind for a decade to win it's first ever championship ever again.
Thank you Dirk. You'll always be my GOAT.
He changed barkley's mind. Remember how much Charles used to clown on him? Listen to him now, he did a complete 180 after the 2011 WCF. I thank Charles for giving him that extra bulletin board material...not that he needed it
The great maverick's
43 or so minutes later. #MFFL.
Dirk is truly a beautiful princess treasure.
He’s just….humble. He should be arrogant. An ass.
But he isn’t. Him at Panera made me smile.
