CHARLOTTE — For Dirk Nowitzki, the tears likely will come later. Maybe it’ll be appropriate if they come in buckets – because that’s all he did for over two decades in the NBA is make buckets.
No, Nowitzki hasn’t announced whether or not he’ll retire at the end of this season. He’s keeping his options open, which is his right.
For now, the greatest player in the history of the Dallas Mavericks is living in the moment, soaking in the good times that kept on rolling the past three days during the All-Star Weekend in Charlotte.
On Friday, Nowitzki was the honorary coach for the World Team in the Rising Stars game.
