As a special advisor, he will bring his wealth of experience and basketball acumen to various aspects of the organization, including player development, community engagement, and strategic planning.
Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, expressed his delight at having Nowitzki back in the Mavericks family, stating, “Dirk is synonymous with the Dallas Mavericks and embodies everything we stand for as an organization. His return in this new capacity will undoubtedly have a positive impact on our team, our fans, and the broader community.”
Nowitzki himself shared his excitement about the opportunity to contribute to the Mavericks in a new capacity, saying, “Dallas has been my home for over two decades, and the Mavericks organization holds a special place in my heart. I’m thrilled to be back and to play a role in shaping the future of this great franchise.”
With Nowitzki’s return, Mavericks fans can look forward to not only reliving some of the team’s greatest moments but also to the promise of a bright future under his guidance and mentorship.
