Dirk Nowitzki’s 20th season with the Dallas Mavericks will solidify him as one of the sport’s most loyal and unique players in its 71 year history. Nowitzki’s all-time great status is indisputable, but this season will feature Nowitzki in a far different vein than what we are all used to.
The Mavericks have entered a rebuilding phase, there is no question about it. Despite the rebuild appearance, the Mavs have kept enough veterans on the roster to keep them mildly competitive in the saturated western conference.
Dallas will emphasize playing to their strengths this season.
