Due to illness, Mavericks power forward and franchise icon Dirk Nowitzki missed the team's Dallas opener this season.
Friday represented the Big German's first home game of the season and he got off to a surprising start with a dunk against the Portland Trail Blazers in the first quarter.
Don't believe us? Here's the proof.
Nowitzki and former Mav Zaza Pachulia had a bet last season over who would get the most dunks. Wonder if Nowitzki shoots Pachulia a text after the game.
Not to be outdone, new Maverick Harrison Barnes had his own put-back slam later in the first quarter.
