Dallas Mavericks GOAT Dirk Nowitzki produced plenty of memorable plays during the 2018-2019 season. Enjoy them again here.

Dallas Mavericks fans were sad to see Dirk Nowitzki retire. It was the end of an era. Dirk was an icon, entertainer, legend, and so much more. He was the face of the Mavs too.

The team will begin a new season at the start of October, their first without Dirk since 1998. It will be odd not seeing him in uniform leading the Mavericks. Fans should be excited, though. The new young star duo of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis gives the organization an incredibly bright future.

The regular season is fast approaching and NBA took the time to honor Dirk as we were 41 days away from opening night. They put out a video of his best plays from his final season which supporters can see below.

Dirk’s final home was unforgettable. For him to drop 30 points amidst all the fanfare was incredible. The tributes before, during, and after the game were so amazing. Then, Nowitzki announced his retirement on the court. It was a fitting send off for the Mavericks GOAT.

There are a ton of moments from that season that will not be forgotten. The same could be said about Dirk’s entire career. He is a surefire first-ballot Hall of Famer. The power forward changed the game. The NBA will never have another Dirk Nowitzki.

The organization has already begun honoring him. A logo of Nowitzki shooting his patented one-legged fadeaway will be on both ends of the Mavs home court all season long. It is the first of many ways they will salute number 41.
