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

The Dallas Mavericks traded for Dirk Nowitzki on draft night in 1998. He was the ninth overall pick but well exceeded that spot. The Tall Baller from the G would become a legend and all-time great during his 21 seasons with the Mavs.

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.

June 19 is Dirk Nowitzki’s birthday. He turns 42 in 2020. The Mavericks wished him the best in the following post.
