As Dirk Nowitzki nears his enshrinement in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday, we’re commemorating the honor with a series of stories about the greatest Maverick of them all.
Today, we get personal thoughts from some of the people who have known Nowitzki a long time — and one young Maverick who watched him for a long time.
My favorite thing about Dirk’s career is that his story became our stories. Every fan, employee and media member can recall a moment or time that he greatly impacted our lives.
