About Dirk Nowitzki, Hall of Famer

Dirk Nowitzki was a German power forward who spent his entire 21-year NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks, making him the only player ever to play for a single franchise that long. Standing 7 feet tall, he became widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards ever and the greatest European player in basketball history. Nowitzki led Dallas to 15 playoff appearances and the franchise's only championship in 2011, when he won Finals MVP. Known for his deadly outside shooting and signature one-legged fadeaway, he won the regular season MVP award in 2007, became a 14-time All-Star, and finished sixth on the NBA's all-time scoring list. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023.

Did you know? Nowitzki was the only player to ever wear number 41 in an All-Star game because he initially wanted to wear 14 (Charles Barkley's Olympic number) but had to swap the digits when Robert Pack already had it on the Mavericks.
