GOAT!
Dirk's and MAVS run to Championship was legendary.
love the look!
Dallas legend.
Small forward???//
💯💪🏿
I love the fact that we’re giving these guys HOF vids sooner. They already did the work to earn it why make them wait
Imagine dirk in the league today. He was definitely before his time.
One legged fadeaway baby
I still go back to watch highlights from that 2011 run. Absolutely legendary considering the road to the championship. Nothing short of the greatest shooting big man ever.
Our German Moses❤🎉
Dirk is the man!!! True class act and heck of a ball player! wohlverdient!!!
Arguably the greatest playoff run of all time was the Dallas 2011 run.
Swept the mamba and the Lakers
Beat 3 top 75 players in okc
Beat the heat big 3
Just legendary
That 2011 playoff run was something special! 😊
Dirk Nowitzki is the reason I love basketball. Been an NBA fan ever since I first started watching him and the Mavs in the early to mid 2000s. Well deserved hall of famer.
legend!!!
DIRK !
Bro was on fire for 20 years
Our German GOAT!
People talk about how Steph changed the game. He did. But we gotta talk about Dirk too. The way bigs shoot them 3s. It's because of him.
Young Dirk said he’s gonna play SF then became German Jesus at PF😂 Legendary
Dirk nowitzki is one of the most skilled big men I've ever seen congratulations on getting elected for the Naismith hall of Fame you deserve it
Backstreet boys Dirk Nowitzki was the best! 😂
Dirk 🏀🇩🇪🔥🙌
He played SMALL FORWARD? That's Dirk for you , sees himself SMALL but has a BIG heart and just wanna play ball. Congratulations Dirk!
The reason I started watching basketball 🏀
I’m a lakers fan but yup I was rooting for Dirk against the heat. Almost celebrated like the lakers won the chip that year.
How many teammates did Dirk have during all of his NBA Dallas career?
congratz dirk
That 2011 run he defeated
Back2back NBA champs in Lakers
Back2back scoring champ in KD
Back2back NBA MVP in LeBron
That's crazy
It’s nice to see Dwayne Wade go into the hall w/ his pops
After Kobe, MJ and Timmy D, he is probably the only player i truly will take my hats off, shake his hands and bow to him, appreciate him for being loyal to his team, going through thick and thin with one team, and make that amazing run with Dallas even though it's only one-off
EU NBA goat
I want Dirk to be the last to give his speech on the hall of fame ceremony. I take Dirk's career over Dwade
I still say we call that iconic step-back jumper "The Dirk." Not just because his name is "Dirk," but because, in another sense, a dirk is an actual kind of small dagger. And since that shot he made so infamous was so often "the dagger"…
Congrats, Dirk. Well-deserved. Heck of a guy, both on and off the court. 👌🏾
All the homies love Dirk
My favourite player of all-time !
This dude is cold blooded. That title run was one of the best success stories ever in the NBA
I miss that muthfucka, wish we had him now
One of the likeable players of all time that doesn't need to have a superteam to win a championship… 😂
