Mavericks: Dirk Nowitzki discusses 41.21.1 on the anniversary

The Dallas Mavericks put on a show on April 9, 2019, for Dirk Nowitzki. It was a night honoring the legend, and Dirk deserved every second of it. There were tributes, all-time greats honoring Nowitzki, and just a night full of emotion. The energy in the American Airlines Center was incredible.

Mavericks fans know Dirk Nowitzki announced his retirement on the floor after the contest. It was his final game in Dallas. Nowitzki dropped 30 points to put fitting cap on a 21-year career where he only donned a Mavs jersey.

Today is the one-year anniversary of that night.
