If you were lucky enough to grow up watching Dirk Nowitzki, you fully understand that there is no honor that could be bestowed upon the big German that would be underserved. That is why when word came out that the city of Dallas would be renaming a street near the American Airlines Center in honor of the greatest Dallas Mavericks player ever, no one really thought twice about it.
The ceremony honoring Dirk and the newly named “Nowitzki Way” took place yesterday afternoon and had Dirk himself unveiling the street sign, which was formerly Olive Street.
