Dirk Nowitkzi is adding one more jewel to his crown this week in being inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, during a weekend of ceremony and celebration in Springfield, Massachusetts. A first-ballot selection, the Dallas Mavericks legend is joined by a decorated class of inductees, featuring the likes of Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, and Dwyane Wade among others. Festivities will begin on Friday.
Over 21 seasons with the Mavericks, Nowitzki amassed an arena’s worth of recognitions including: 12-time All-NBA, 2007 MVP, 2011 Finals MVP, 2011 NBA Champion, 14-time All Star, as well as being named to the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team.
