How to celebrate Dallas Mavericks GOAT Dirk Nowitzki’s 42nd birthday

He gave fans so many unforgettable memories too. Dirk brought Dallas a title in 2011. He led them to the NBA Finals in 2006. Nowitzki won the MVP award and was a 14-time All-Star. He clinched game two of the 2011 finals with a layup in the final moments. Fans can watch the full game here is how. That does not mention the countless fadeaways from the block or game-winners Dirk drilled during his career.
