The Dallas Mavericks put on a jersey retirement ceremony for Dirk Nowitzki that no one at American Airlines Center will ever forget. It was indeed, one for the ages.
Everything from 41 members of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra blowing tunes to the Mavs Drumline serenading Nowitzki, Wednesday night’s 50-minute star-studded event was packed with several marches down memory lane for one of the greatest players the NBA has ever known.
Even NBA commissioner Adam Silver couldn’t help but praise owner Mark Cuban before Nowitzki’s No. 41 jersey was ceremoniously raised to the rafters.
