Nowitzki scores 30 points in 120-109 win over Suns, then announces his retirement

“As you guys might suspect, this is my last home game,” Nowitzki told the crowd after the Dallas Mavericks beat the Phoenix Suns, 120-109, on Tuesday night at American Airlines Center. “It’s been an amazing ride and thank you guys for coming out.”

One of the greatest players of all-time and one of the most unique players of his generation, Nowitzki played all 21 years of his NBA career with the Mavs. And not only was the 7-foot forward the face of the Mavs, he also was a key figure in the Dallas community, often visiting children’s hospitals while offering both financial and emotional support to families in need.
