Dallas Mavericks GOAT Dirk Nowitzki was always going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The 14-time All-Star was voted to the NBA 75 in 2022, and the selection was easy after 21 years of greatness in a Mavericks uniform plus years spent leading the German National Team.
Dirk is eligible for selection in 2023, and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news that Nowitzki will be announced this weekend at the NCAA Final Four as part of a deep and star-studded class that features Dwyane Wade, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Gregg Popovich, and Becky Hammon.
It is an incredible and well-deserved honor for the legend. Dirk is unquestionably the greatest Maverick ever, and he was a no-brainer selection for the Hall of Fame. Here is a close look at Dirk’s upcoming honor and how fans can enjoy it with him.
