Dallas Mavericks Announce Legend Dirk Nowitzki as Co-Owner
In a historic move that brings a beloved icon even closer to the franchise he helped define, the Dallas Mavericks have officially announced that NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki is joining the team’s ownership group as a co-owner.
The announcement was made earlier today by Mavericks Governor Patrick Dumont, who welcomed Nowitzki into the front office during a press conference at the American Airlines Center. The move has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from fans, players, and NBA insiders alike.
“Dirk is the heart and soul of this franchise,” said Dumont. “His leadership, loyalty, and passion for the game have always set him apart. We’re thrilled to have him take on this new role and help guide the future of the Mavericks.”
Nowitzki, who played his entire 21-year NBA career with Dallas, is the franchise’s all-time leading scorer and a key figure in the Mavericks’ 2011 NBA Championship run. Known for his iconic one-legged fadeaway and unmatched loyalty to the city, Nowitzki is widely regarded as one of the greatest power forwards in league history.
“I’m honored and excited to join the ownership group of the team that has meant so much to me throughout my life,” said Nowitzki. “Dallas is my home, and the Mavericks are my family. I’m committed to helping this organization continue to grow and succeed on and off the court.”
This marks a new chapter in the storied relationship between Nowitzki and the Mavericks — one that will now include a seat at the decision-making table. Fans can expect his basketball insight, leadership, and deep connection to the community to play a key role in shaping the team’s future
Nowitzki’s jersey was retired in 2022, and this latest development cements his legacy with the franchise even further
