Typical Nowitzki. Even now, five years into retirement at age 45, he addresses reporters, in this case The Dallas Morning News via WhatsApp from Sweden, from...
Dirk Nowitzki statue unveiled during a Christmas Day ceremony at American Airlines Center South Plaza in Dallas on Sunday, Dec. 25, 2022.
“I’ve got family and friends flying in from around the world,” he said. “Nobody wants to miss this. I mean, this is huge. We’re gonna have so much fun there for a couple of days.”Making the weekend all the more momentous is the Class of 2023′s star-quotient, one of the most glittery in the Hall’s 55-year history, headlined by Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Pau Gasol and the Spurs trio of Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
He knows, however, that merely was a preview of next weekend. On Friday he will join the Class of 2023 for a morning autograph session, photo op and afternoon news conference at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut, about an hour south of Springfield.On Friday evening the Class of ‘23 members will receive their orange Hall of Fame blazers, custom-fitted and made by. That night in Hartford, Nowitzki will host a private party for family and friends.
It’ll be a party-filled weekend – Nowitzki’s private one in Hartford and the induction ceremony itself, topped by the speech that the guest of honor has known for at least a decade that he’ll have to make, but hadn’t finalized as of when we spoke.One thing is for certain: Whereas Jordan in 2012 spoke for exactly 23 minutes and 23 seconds, matching his jersey number, we won’t hear Nowitzki for 41:41.
