I got to thinking about this after Tony Parker walked into the AT&T Center in a Charlotte Hornets jersey. Was Manu the last major player to play his entire career with one team? Tony, Manu, and Tim Duncan represent the end of an era. But there is one more.
Dirk Nowitski.
He hasn’t played his entire career with the same head coach and he hasn’t kept a significant teammate with him throughout his tenure. But he has been in the Dallas Mavericks uniform the entire time.
Odds are he’ll retire this season.
