The Mavericks pay perfect tribute to Dirk Nowitzki in his final home game

When I first heard the Mavericks were planning some amazing surprises for Dirk’s probable final home game, I kind of assumed that Dirk wouldn’t let them do that unless this was it.

Turns out, I was right. I’m not happy I was right. But what an amazing tribute it was.

The tributes started the minute Dirk arrived at American Airlines Center, and this amazing greeting of American Airlines Center employees set the tone for what would be an emotional evening.

Dirk gets his friends into the starting lineup (I assume)

I’m pretty sure they just let Dirk decide the starting lineup tonight because Devin Harris, Luka Doncic, Dwight Powell, Justin Jackson and Dirk is just odd.
