The fact that Dirk and Luka were able to play together is mind blowing
facts 1:26 is a great moment
The fact that Dirk's last season was Luka's first in the league is mind blowing too. That year was truly a passing of the torch for the Mavs franchise
@@walker68175 Now look at Luka man, Inspirational!
A veteran passing the torch to a rookie (this was Dirk's 21st and final season).
No NBA player had ever before played 21 seasons with a team. The previous record was Kobe Bryant at 20 seasons. (Both are one-team careers.)
No NBA player had ever played that many games with one team (Nowitzki finished at 1522). The previous record was 1504 (John Stockon). (Both are one-team careers.)
As for seasons overall and games overall, only 3 others (Robert Parrish, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Vince Carter) have played more NBA games, and only 4 others (Parrish, Carter--played 22 seasons, Kevin Garnett, and Kevin Willis) have played 21 seasons or more in the league
@@sjsiemka Yeah look at Luka man he is now crying to the refs each game. Luka is so inspirational to the point I was inspired to have Luka face as my pfp. Look! Luka has the same face as ()
Don’t worry he is not retiring just gonna play away games next year
😂😂😂
Lmao😂 good one
Dirk already announce his retirement bro!
Don’t tell him y’all

If there was ever a man to cry for, it’s Dirk. What a Legend. Greatest Mav ever. #top20playerever
Top 15 in my opinion
Samuel Glidden-Fry I think that’s pretty accurate. Definitely in my top 15, might be able to shuffle some people around a bit.

I flew twice from Germany to Dallas on my own just to see him. It was worth every dollar and every hour of flight time. He is a legend to me because he's one of a kind. I don't know any other athlete who is so successful and at the same time so down-to-earth like Dirk. A role model on every imaginable level. Take care, Dirty and thank you for 21 years! 👍👍
+Stephan Schulz Naturfilm We were blessed to have him here in Dallas for 21 years. Glad you were able to come see him play for the Mavs. Thank you for loaning him to us, Germany!

1:05 he smiles while doing his perfect fade away he has so much confidence
Years of experience, he don’t shake anymore👍
A dunk and now dropping 30 pts? Boi he’s losing age as we speak
Umm losing age? Taking more shots than points scored isnt losing age.

@@MCWhiffles what's wrong with that he is old and plus his team won
@@MCWhiffles You made the same comment on 8 threads already. Shut the fuck up dumb ass kid.
@@MCWhiffles respect Dirk bum ass
Best Maverick ever. Redefined the game. Loyal to his city, even when he could have earned more elsewhere. True leader. Legend.
Thank you for everything, Dirk. The NBA will never be the same without you.
Maybe the greatest. The best is Luka.
@@chro2700naaaaah
I will not forget that Dirk destroyed the Super team by D.wade and L.james(denying he has never been in Super team)
Don’t want to disrespect dirk on his night, but look at his championship team
It’s a low key super team
And chris bosh
u dont need a super team when ur winning 60+ games every year. Yall quick yo forget how crazy good the mavs were for over a decade.
And I’m sure he’ll remember LeBron and Dwade destroying him (on their own lol) thereafter...you can appreciate a great player without sounding stupid, you realize that right?
@@rianmitchell5302 wtf how? I hate when people say he had Kidd and Marion because they were both 35+ and both could of retired that year. Peja and Stevenson did retire and then you have journeyman role players. It's like saying if I could put dirk, Kobe and Nash on the Lakers right now they would win. Jason Kidd prime was 2000-2003 talking about how in 2011 dirk had Kidd. I hate when people don't use context. Ohh if you look at the roster STFU
3:39 you can see the emotions of a man that loves basketball, he looks like he doesn't want to retire but his body is getting old. 😭
This guy stayed with this team his entire career. Such loyalty to the fan base. Hoping that Luka Magic continues what the GOAT of Dallas began.
Mavs got lots of faces that shaped the franchise, and Dirk certainly stood out among the rest. He could have left and joined other teams for multiple rings, but he stayed for 21 years in the franchise that drafted him. Man, humble.
I'm Japanese but your are my favorite.
Your Championship is the most meaningful of the NBA history I've seen ever.
Thank you Dirk.
Absolutely!
The Farewell day of Legends
Dirk 30points
D.Wade 30points
Magic Johnson
Man....lol
You forgot to add "destroyed a franchise" by magics name
Pat magic made the team better since he joined just not good enough you can thank rob palinko and luke Walton for ruining ur team
Pat the only name that comes to mind that they got rid of which was dumb was dangelo
Pat oh wait nvm your right there was no need to get rid of Randle and zubac and the crazy thing is they traded zubac for some bum that doesn’t play
You took us on an incredible ride 41. From all the nail biters in San Antonio and Sacramento, to the heartbreak against Miami in '06. Then you led us to our first ever title in '11.. YOU made the Mavericks an incredible franchise, and it's been an pleasure to watch you for 21 years. I saw your first game, and I saw your last. God bless you Dirk, you're one of the greatest of all time. Enjoy your retirement, you most certainly deserve it.
Imagine if the Heat and Mavericks played eachother for their last game
The first time I watched NBA was during the 2011 NBA finals ... Damn that series ... The mavs and dirk were the reason I started to follow NBA afterwards 😌😌 #MyGOAT #Legend
Stfu
Same dude that was unreal
damn bro, your first finals gonna stuck with you for a longg time. my first was '05 spurs-pistons, almost 14 years have passed and I'm still a Spurs
My first NBA game was...in 1991 but the 2011 Finals were the best and the 2006 Finals the craziest because of Dirk. ;)
Me to, 2011 was my first Nba finals
His performance v Miami is still the most impressive and surprising single series performance I have ever seen and I have watched since 1970. Lead by example and him walking off with 7 seconds left in game 6 brings me to tears. An absolute legend.
Spurs fan here. The Mavs led by Drik became one of our fiercest rivals for many years, but at the end of the day, nothing but respect for this guy!
I was too late to witness other earlier runs, but the 2011 Dallas run was the best I've seen in my life. Imagine beating the Roy-Dame-LMarcus Blazers, Two-peat LA, Durant-WB-Harden Thunders, then capping it off with beating the Heatles. Really special. That run cemented him as a GOAT. One of the best PFs!
Lol dame wasn’t on that team
You are too late but too early to put dame on that list 😂😂😂
A Player You simply Cant hate
Dirk Nowitzki
Having been Dirk's fan since I was a third grader for 15+ years. I was really lucky to see Dirk playing on the court for the very first time (also my first NBA game) in DC last month. Really sad to see him retire, thought he could have played for at least another year... Big thank you to Dirk! Truly the GOAT!
One of the greatest intros to a player ever, not many ppl give u chills like tht
All time great!! Nice and humble guy.. had a great career... mavs fan are lucky to have had him..
He's not retiring, he's just sitting out next season due to load management
That crowd reaction at 1:18 was legendary
In his 21 year career no player was able to stop that fade-away rainbow jumpshot. Just mad respect for this legend 🐐.
This guy is the reason i love the NBA and proved that you dont need a super team to win a championship.
Filipino's love you dirk.
i am a laker fan and my feelings towards dirk were not positive, but watching this tears come to my eyes...legend
Fan of you from 2006. You are humble and hardworking and talented. Thanks for your guide in my life
Got your jersey hanging in my room right next to the bed to remind me everytime I see it before sleeping why I love the game of basketball so much. Thank you for all the memories and inspiration Dirk. A true loyal legend to the very end.
I love how his last year was Luka's rookie year. The Mavs are gonna be great for many years to come.
Legendary game for a legend. Phenomenal player. Dirk is one of a kind.
to the 2 Dislikes...If you dont love this THEN YOU DONT LOVE NBA BASKETBALL.....Period
2 people from Miami i guess
Lebron and wade😂
6.5ft Kristaps Porzingis 🤣
there are 6 now. maybe 1 is from luka
I disliked this fake video created by some AI engine where Dirk is retiring. It's a fake video, right? right!?!?!?
Best European player ever! He supported his national team every summer also in international games.I can't forget his performance against Greece in 2005 Eurobasket! One legend...
The last of his kind...so sad...one of the best baller on that globe and the best embassador my country ever had. Kudos Dirk, enjoy your retirement, you earned it man. Thanks for all.
One of the greatest ever!!!
Such a humble reaction of Doncik smiling with such a happiness seeing Dirk making threes!!!!
Half a Kobe, full Dirk, 1000% amazing! 21 years of Dirkness! All love!
So sad to see him finally retire. DIRK, YOU ARE MY FAVORITE NBA PLAYER EVER! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES! ♥️
Im not a fan of PBA in philipines but i love basketball and i like watching NBA because of you Dirk Nowitzki. Its hard to you say goodbye but its time and I respect that with all our hearts, an inspiration to many and a hero we love you. Watching from Philippines.
A class act. His greatest legacy was becoming an NBA champ by beating a superteam... this is why he is the greatest Maverick!
I'm from Vietnam. You are the best Power Foward, the master of stepback fadeaway. And you are the pride of German basketball, the best athlete of Germany, and the best player of Dallas Mavericks of All-Time. You are my movitation to practice fadeaway. You are in my heart forever. All the people will remember you so much, remember your stepback fadeaeway, remember your only 2011 NBA Champion, and remember anythings you do for basketball fans's emotion. Danke, DIRK NOWITZKI !
A bit proud... great guy. Has always been a pleasure watching you. Germany salutes its greatest but humblest athlete. Enjoy your family time. Well deserved... you did it!!!
Thanks for all, Dirk the 🐐
Greatest Dallas Maverick Player of all time!🔥🔥
Everyone is so happy everytimr Dirk scored
Everytime he shot I just saw a slideshow of him making the same shot over years dirk you deserve it man
I grew up in the 80s and have seen some incredible players over my life: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon, John Stockton, etc. Dirk is up there as well. I've got this saved on my desktop for inspiration as well as John Stockton's final game at Arco Arena. I tear up every time. What I like most about this video is at 3:03 Dirk's body language shows he's confident, determined, and competitive all the way to the end. Thanks for the great memories Dirk!
Dirk and Kobe inspired me to play basketball
Thank You Dirk
Thank You Kobe(RIP)
A true champion , one ring but thats his heart and soul ....congrats dirk your fan from philippines...
I will always remember the Eurobasket finals of 2005 Greece vs Germany when at the last minutes of the game Dirk was seated and the whole stadium greeks, germans, serbs, everyone gave him a standing ovation. One of the greatest european players of all time, and an all around cool dude.
One of my favorite player....
Thank you Dirk....You are a Legend....
As a die hard Laker fan who watched this man torch us in '11, I am, genuinely, happy for him. One of the greatest PF's and the greatest Mav. Respect.
chills
Not only the greatest Mav or European/International player or one of the greatest ever to play the game of basketball, but also the one of greatest and lovable human being ever grace the basketball court.
I was 11 when you started playing for the Mavs. I wish you could play forever, such an beautiful shot and fade away. No one did it like you and that changed basketball. KB even stole your fade! Gonna miss watching you big man! You'll always be #1 in Dallas!
All the love in the world Dirk! You deserve it all...one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball.
He will always be in our hearts !
Mann Dirk my favorite player of all time! I never knew him & Luka actually got to play together!
The hype from the crowd and dirk being announced gave me goosebumps 💪
True legend, one of the greatest we’ll ever see
the way the crowd cheered for every step he took made me cry.
Our family dog, Dirk, a blue doberman was named after this legend. He passed away 3 days ago but we are grateful for his loyalty and friendliness...kinda like Dirk Nowitzki. #41 made an impact for us so we named our good boy after him. God bless Dirty Dirk!
What a monster game in front of the fans in his last home game! Absolute legend!
this man grinded 21 years with one team #crazy
Dirk was a productive player till the very end. What a legend
Since i got into basketball at around 2004 i always wanted to see Dirk live. But thats hard when you live 1000(0)s of miles away. You always inspired me and still do. Never ever give up, live your dreams!
Thanks for what you’ve done for the Mavs!!! We love you Dirk!!!
This is too good!!! Dirk and D.Wade thank you brothers.
Truly one of the greatest. Thank you, Dirk!!!!
Special moments always happen on April 9th. Thx Dirk for the memories, you're one of the greatests
Such a super underrated and humble player... RESPECT THE LEGENDARY DIRK

im still crying as hell..we miss u Dirk..Mavs were in good hands with luka and Kp but ure still d man 👊👊👊 #MFFL
Man if this doesn't make you tear up...
I ain't even like the Mavs but I can't help to smile after every shot
Dirk is a legend. A perfect example of a player stay in a team until retire.
Favorite athlete of all time!!!
To see him and Doncic together is just special
thank you Dirk!! from Russia
Jamal Crawford as oldest player to score 50+ points.
@Swag God he scored 50 at 39 years old IDIOT
Swag God why can’t u just be happy for both of them you asshole
@Swag God crawford worked harder than Dirk but ok
Swag God hey come on let’s be happy for both they both worked really hard and very humble players we will never forget 💯
@Swag God bruh both of them were great and humble, the only problem are the fans that are toxic, just like u.
Dirk is a legend. He splashed before splashing was cool.
if he could still run like hes not an old man he would still be a star ypi can take away his youth but his shot will always be there. legend
Wonderful that a city embraced him like Dallas did. Dirk will always be associated with Dallas!
Will gonna miss some legends next year 😢😢
Thank you Dirk u r one of the Main reasons that i started following Basketball 😍 🙏 i hope i meet you one day
Pure shot maker. Best elbow shot ever.
