A nearly 24-foot statue of Dirk Nowitzki was unveiled Sunday on the plaza south of American Airlines Center. Unsurprisingly, it depicts his signature one-legged fadeaway jumper.
The biggest of those multiple moments honoring Nowitzki’s career came on the 11th anniversary of the only other Christmas home game for the Mavericks.
“I’m just happy for him,” said Doncic, who was Nowitzki’s teammate his rookie year. “He deserves all those things that are happening to him. The statue looks amazing.” Sculptor Omri Amrany has created statues of other retired NBA stars in Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O’Neal. He worked mostly with Nowitzki mentor Holder Geschwindner, who shaped the 7-foot German’s one-legged fadeaway.
