The Dallas Mavericks power forward has added his voice to those hailing the achievements of an outgoing icon at the Bundesliga champions
Philipp Lahm has earned plenty of plaudits following his retirement at Bayern Munich, with NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki adding his voice to the tributes.
World Cup winner Lahm has taken the decision to hang up his boots after 15 years and 517 appearances with Bayern.
He departs as one of the most decorated performers of his generation, with eight Bundesliga titles and a Champions League crown among his many honours.
The decision to walk away at the age of 33 has come as a surprise to many, but Dallas Mavericks power forward Nowitzki is among those to have been quick to hail his achievements.
