Nowitzki is on the cover of NBA 2K22 on the game’s premium NBA 75th-anniversary edition, joining fellow legends Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Durant.
“I’m thrilled,” says Nowitzki. “To be on the cover with Kevin Durant, who I personally know and respect a lot, and of course Kareem, who back in the day with his skyhook obviously completely changed the game and had a weapon that nobody’s ever seen, it’s a huge honor.”
The Mavericks star played 21 seasons for the franchise. He helped bring home their first NBA championship in 2011, when the Mavs shocked the Heat, who were led by LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
