Dirk Nowitzki's journey from Germany to Dallas to the Hall of Fame
Dirk Nowitzki’s unique talent and immeasurable impact will be recognized in Springfield.
His shot became his signature, that signature became a statue. It’s planted there now for the long term, emblematic of Dirk Nowitzki himself, who came to the Dallas Mavericks a quarter century ago and never left.
Resplendent in white bronze, 24 feet high, over on the right wing of Victory Plaza outside the American Airlines Center, Nowitzki is immortalized in the shooting form that earned him so many of his 35,223 points (regular and postseason). It earned him a bevy of admirers, too, among peers and rivals like Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant and LeBron James who adopted the big German sharpshooter’s one-legged fadeaway as both a tactic and an homage.
“The Dirk,” as that shot has been dubbed, is here to stay. Both as a weapon – “the equivalent of what Abdul-Jabbar did with his sky hook,” one opposing coach said the other day, both awed and irritated by its effectiveness – and as a tribute, frozen in time, the distillation of 21 seasons and 1,667 games logged with the only NBA team for which he ever played.
One city, one franchise? Only Utah Hall of Famer John Stockton (1,686) ever played more.

Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki featured in George W. Bush's book on notable US immigrants
Dirk and Jessica Nowitzki sit next to former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush during the Mavericks’ Thursday game against the Nets.
As unlikely as Dirk Nowitzki becoming one of the best players in NBA history might have once seemed, his story as a German-born kid becoming a powerful influence within the United States might be even more praiseworthy.
